Tyco Electronics Energy Division
covers a wide range of porcelain and
polymeric transmission surge
arresters. The Bowthorpe EMP range
of arresters have demonstrated
reliable performance in
environments all over the world for
over 60 years.
Bowthorpe EMP recognise that
some Power Utilities require the
need to maintain the conventional
ZnO porcelain surge arrester.
A program of continuous design
update and development on the
porcelain arrester has provided a
range of surge arresters to meet the
demands of most system voltages.
Design Evaluated and Type Tested at
our HV Laboratory in Brighton and
also at external Laboratories.
Bowthorpe EMP were the first
manufacturer to develop the
polymeric housed arrester for
commercial operation (1983).
Range of HV surge arresters in
service under the severest climatic
conditions up to 550kV system.
The range of arresters are
covered by worldwide patents to
protect the companys extensive
investment in R & D.

The module core design was
developed in the early 80s and has
over 15 years service experience,
with the housing material changing
in the early 90s.
The modular single column
polymeric surge arrester design is
available up to 132kV systems.
The essential feature of the internal
patented construction is the
permanent homogenous resin and
glass fibre bond over the complete
insulated service of the ZnO
elements. The arrester module has
an inherently high mechanical
strength and provides a uniform
dielectric at the insulated surface of
the ZnO elements.
Routine tests are carried out to show
that the manufacturing conforms to
the current International standard.

The series parallel surge arrester
was developed in the late 80s. We
have over 12 years service
experience in over 60 countries.
The series parallel construction
comprises individual surge arrester
modules rated between 30 and 45kV
interconnected by means of corona
free silicon aluminium alloy plates.
Each surge arrester module is
completely impervious to the
ingress of moisture and utilises the
high mechanical strength properties
of the ZnO varistor bonded by cured
resin impregnated glass fibre.
The external geometry and materials
provide an arrester that is a virtually
perfectly graded voltage field such
that no grading ring is required.
The overall diameter of the series
parallel arrester has been calculated
to reduce the radial field stress to a
minimum, even under adverse
environmental conditions.
The electrostatic capacitance
coupling between each silicon
aluminium interconnection provides
an even voltage field across the
surface of the silicon housing.
This arrangement has been proven
under the severest of monitored
natural pollution conditions (NGC).
The very large surface area allows
this design to maintain thermal
equilibrium after lightning or
switching duty.
The seismic performance of 500kV
arrester has been proven in two
leading test facilities. Bonneville
Power USA performed at Portland
State University and NEL East
Kilbride UK. Test performed and
passed to IEEE 693 Annex K and the
IEEE Recommended Practice for
Seismic Design of Substations.
Routine tests are carried out to show
that the manufacturing conforms to
the current International standard.

The PSRA & B surge arresters are
available for applications for up to
220kV systems.
Both designs utilise the same
housing construction, which is a
resin and glass fibre pultruded tube
and aluminium flanges.
High cantilever mechanical strength
is achieved on this design with the
internal assembly similar to that of
the porcelain.
The design has been tested to IEC
and demonstrated a 63kA pressure
relief performance.
Routine tests are carried out to show
that the manufacturing conforms to
the current International standard.

Porcelain surge arresters are
available for applications up to
400kV systems.
Porcelain housing designs have
been used by us for over 60 years.
From 1936 we produced porcelain
surge arresters to the gapped
silicone carbide pattern and since
1980 we have produced arresters to
the gapless ZnO design.
The design consists of a porcelain
housing which conforms to IEC-815
with an Aero Dynamic shed profile.
The varistors, spacers and locating
rings are assembled under
compression with pressure relief
diaphragms at either end, The air
void is evacuated and replaced with
dry air, then sealed.
All arrester designs have been
proved by Type Testing IEC60099-4.
Routine tests are carried out to show
that the manufacturing conforms to
the current International standard.
