    Manufacturer Statement - PEXLIM P-Z SA

    PEXLIM P-Z surge arresters have been tested in accordance with IEC 60099-4 standards at elevated temperatures up to +60°C. While direct sun radiation can cause higher surface temperatures, it is the average temperature of the arrester over 24 hours that is important. Tests incorporated pre-heating MO resistors to +60°C to account for effects of direct sun radiation. PEXLIM arresters successfully passed all tests at elevated temperatures without issues. ABB confirms maximum ambient temperatures up to +60°C will not adversely affect performance of PEXLIM P-Z arresters installed outdoors under normal operating conditions.

    Performance of Surge Arresters at


    Elevated Ambient Temperatures
    PEXLIM P-Z
    Customer specifications often state tough requirements for maximum ambient temperature under
    which surge arresters are to operate. Whilst at the same time it is generally understood that the
    average temperature over a 24 hour period will be less. The influence from the sun radiation is
    sometimes thought to be significant, as one might assume that sun radiation can result in
    considerably high surface temperatures. However, it is the average surface temperature of the
    complete arrester that counts, and sun radiation falls on less than half of the insulator surface at
    any point in time. In fact, the closer to the equator an arrester is situated, the smaller the fraction
    of the insulator surface that is subjected to direct radiation due to the sheds.

    Furthermore, the ambient air temperature surrounding the arrester is not necessarily the
    temperature of the MO resistors themselves; with arresters installed outdoors always having a
    proportion of their housing in the shade. Thus, even if the peak ambient temperature is considered
    as high as +60 °C, it is the average ambient temperature of the MO resistors themselves which is
    the determining factor for the evaluation of verifications made for thermal stability during the type
    tests. Further, this temperature is normally considered to be the average over a 24 hour period.

    PEXLIM surge arresters have been type tested in accordance with the relevant International
    Standard IEC 60099-4. For some of the required tests on MO resistors in this standard, the test
    sections shall be pre-heated before the actual tests. For example, the Operating Duty type test for
    PEXLIM P-Z arresters (report HVP/AK 17-65) incorporates application of rated thermal energy (Wth)
    after pre-heating to +60 °C. The effects of direct sun radiation are accounted for by the increased
    starting temperature. This is actual MO resistor temperature, which ignores that the average block
    temperature will actually be well below the localized surface temperature possible from direct sun
    radiation. It is obvious from the various type test reports that the PEXLIM arresters successfully
    passed all test sequences that are performed at elevated temperatures without any remarks.

    We hereby confirm that a maximum ambient day temperature of up to +60 °C will not have any
    adverse effect on the operational performance for all styles of PEXLIM P-Z surge arresters which
    are installed outdoors, energized at nominal service voltage and otherwise operating under their
    stated design conditions.
