Distribution Arresters
DurabilityRiser Pole and Heavy Duty Distribution Class arresters have beencalled upon to serve in the most demanding of applications.Typically unshielded, overhead lines can produce some of themost severe lightning surges on the power system. Joslyndistribution arresters are designed to meet the demands ofprotecting underground and overhead equipment, respectively.Tested in accordance with the latest industry standard,ANSI/IEEE C62.11-1999 for Heavy Duty metal oxide arresters,Joslyn distribution arresters withstand the following minimumdesign tests:
• High Current-Short Duration: 2 current surges of 100kAmagnitude and 4/10 microsecond duration.
• Low Current-Long Duration: 20 current surges with 2000micro-second duration and 400 amperes magnitude discharged through ‘ZRP’ and 250 amperes magnitudedischarged through ‘ZHP’.
• Duty Cycle: 20 discharges with a current surge of 10kAmagnitude and 8/20 microsecond wave shape followed by 2 discharges with a current surge of 40kA magnitude.
• Following each of these tests, the arresters remain thermallystable and the discharge voltage change at the classifyingcurrent is less than 10%. For more details on procedures andresults, request the product specific Certified Design TestReport.
Insulating BracketJoslyn’s polymer housed arresters are assembled complete with a molded glass reinforced polyester insulating bracket withgreatly increased strength. This polyester bracket providesinsulation between the arrester and ground after the ground lead disconnect has operated in the unlikely event of arresterfailure.
This bracket will accommodate a 1/2 inch carriage bolt on the crossarm bracket. Joslyn recommends that no more than 40 foot-pounds of torque be applied when installing the arresteron the crossarm mounting bolt.
The bracket also uses a contamination deterrent crest down the centerline of the body of the bracket. This crest facilitatesself-washing of contamination with rainwater. This featurereduces the risk of any contaminant build up on the top of thebracket between the skirts.
Terminal ConnectionsDistribution arrester line terminals utilize a stainless steelfour cornered “Star Clamp” for maximum conductor rangeand speed of installation. The ground terminals utilize astainless steel “U clamp”. Both connectors securely clampaluminum or copper conductors from No. 10 solid through2/0 stranded. Joslyn specifies that no more than 20 foot-pounds of torque be applied to the line and groundterminals.
Transformer ProtectionThe level of protection an arrester can provide will decreasewhen utilizing long connecting leads (line and ground side).This is due to the inductive voltage drop which is added tothe discharge voltage of the arrester. Mounting an arresterdirectly to the transformer will yield excellent protectivemargins from a combination of controlled lead length andlow discharge voltages.

Fault-Current Withstand TestsFault-current testing, also known as short circuit testing,demonstrates an arrester failure based on the most probablefailure modes over a range of fault currents. Two failuremodes are tested: 1) a fuse wire runs along the side of theinternal valve elements to simulate and internal flashover(moisture or collar failure), 2) overvoltage the arrester untilthe resistive elements fail to simulate a system overvoltageexceeding the unit’s TOV capability.
ANSI/IEEE C62.11 1999, specifies the test procedures andacceptance criteria for fault-current tests on distributionsurge arresters. Joslyn’s arresters passed the fuse wire andovervoltage fault-current testing at the current levels anddurations listed in the applicable Fault-Current Data Tables.Conformance was shown by oscillograph recordings ofcurrent magnitude and duration conducted through thearresters. All units passed the acceptance criteria.
Initial venting and arcing. Continued arcing. Following the severe fault, the arrester remainedintact.

Flipper Fuse KitThe AD524-Z fuse kit includes a stationary terminal for mounting on the transformer bushing. Its spring arm subjects the fuselink to moderate tension during steady-state operation and provides a positive whip action to quickly separate the link during fault conditions. An insulating cap for the transformer bushing and an insulating sleeve for the spring arm are included for wildlife protection.
Optional Bagging Assemblies (Lug-H and Boss-B)
Transformer mounting hardware is available upon request. To specify, add suffix “-B” for Boss mounting hardware, or “-H” for Lug mounting hardware to catalog number. (See specific Catalog Number Selection Guides for details.)
