Introduction
Ohio Brass offers a full line of polymer arresters for distribution voltages. The PVR targets cable applications where low discharge voltages promote longer cable life. The PDV-100 is a heavy duty arrester made for overhead distribution equipment protection. The PDV-65 offers cost effective lightning performance with only slightly lower capabilities. These arresters combine the advantages of a polymer housing and metal-oxide varistor valve blocks. On the following pages are descriptions of the benefits, design test reports and arrester accessories. PDV/PVR arresters join an impressive list of advances that Ohio Brass has brought to arrester technology since it began making arresters in 1950. Improvements in design have increased protective margins and durability. More important in terms of dollars and service reliability, Ohio Brass arresters have enabled equipment manufacturers to lower insulation levels and saved millions of dollars for power companies.

PDV-100 and PDV-65 Distribution Surge Arresters

The PDV-100 arrester was introduced in 1986 as the first U.S. non-ceramic arrester for heavy duty applications. The Ohio Brass Company then expanded its line of polymerhoused distribution arresters with a normal duty PDV-65 and PVR arrester. The polymer housing on these arresters offers many benefits never before available. For example, the arrester virtually eliminates the opportunity for damage from mishandling in packing, shipping and installation. Because the PDV does not have an internal atmosphere, failure from breathing or pumping moisture through minute cracks or other imperfections is also eliminated. The application of system overvoltage, above arrester design limits, may result in failure as with all arresters. The housing splits or tears in contrast to the potentially violent failure mode of porcelain into many sharp fragments. The potential danger to nearby equipment and personnel is reduced drastically. The PDV/PVR arresters have the same high-quality metaloxide varistor material used in other Ohio Brass DynaVar station, intermediate and distribution arresters which have operated successfully for over 15 years. PDV/PVR have all the gapless MOV advantages such as high temporary overvoltage capability, contamination resistance, improved surge-duty capability and excellent protective characteristics.

The polymer-housed arrester can be used with all standard mounting arms and brackets. They come with all the necessary fasteners, isolators and terminal attachments. A specially designed glass-filled polyester insulating arm extends from the arrester to the NEMA crossarm bracket, eliminating the need for installation of a metal clamping band around the arrester. The insulating arm not only eliminates the rust and corrosion sometimes encountered with a metal clamping band, but also has been treated with an inhibitor to resist ultraviolet damage.

Benefits
The PDV/PVR housing material excels in tolerance to weather extremes from desert heat to arctic cold, and resists damage from ultraviolet rays and ozone. Samples of the polymer have survived the equivalent of over 50 years of accelerated ultraviolet testing. If the PDV/PVR arresters are dropped or otherwise mishandled, there is little risk of damage, in contrast to the brittleness of porcelain. Internal parts cannot move. The risk of vandalism is reduced. A bullet can penetrate the housing, causing arrester failure. But polymer does not shatter as does porcelain, which scatters sharp fragments. A PDV/PVR arrester weighs less than its porcelain counterpart, again making it easier to handle and less costly to ship. The PDV/PVR arresters are suitable for a number of different applications, such as transformer mounting, enclosed in switchgear or underhung in line protection applications. As non-ceramic arresters, the PDV/PVR offer an imposing list of benefits. The capability of failing with less danger to equipment and personnel, durability and ease of handling lead the list. The PDV/PVR arrester is a worthy development in the long list of Ohio Brass surge arrester innovations innovations that have regularly improved protective levels, lowered costs of protection and enabled utilities to operate equipment with lower basic insulation levels, with savings of millions of dollars. Note: The PDV/PVR arresters comply with ANSI and IEC standards for distribution arresters.

Alloy ESP Housing

The PDV/PVR arrester housing is made from the same ESP rubber material used in high voltage insulators. The ESP housing resists tracking from surface leakage currents. Leakage distance is exceptional. In addition to the performance record as an insulator material, ESPs excellent properties have been confirmed in a series of performance tests that include tracking resistance, contamination, aging and seal design. As with polymer insulators, polymer arresters have high cantilever and tensile strengths.

Basic Construction
The polymer housing fits like a tight elastic glove around the internal components in contrast to porcelain housings which are separated from the varistors. Even though vacuum pumps can remove most moisture from the space inside the porcelain housing, a source of potential trouble can develop if small cracks let additional moisture enter the housing. In the PDV/PVR arresters, the varistors are locked in place with tightly wound layers of fiberglass filament impregnated with epoxy resin. The polymer housing design excludes air and moisture. The inside diameter of the housing is slightly smaller than the outside diameter of the cylindrical element providing a snug fit. The basic PDV/PVR housing is only six inches long for a 10 kV unit 50 to 60 percent shorter than the porcelain equivalent. A great advantage of the PDV/PVR construction is that fault withstand capability can be maintained throughout the voltage range. The fault current capability of porcelain is reduced as the housing lengthens.

Tests Verify PDV & PVR Arrester Design

Ohio Brass introduced the Multirester II distribution arrester twenty years ago. This design had an automatic pressure relief system at the lower end and greatly reduced the probability of porcelain fragmentation following failure while energized in service. However, the desirability of pressure relief was not widely recognized and few utilities considered the benefits worth the added cost and manufacture was discontinued after a few years. A decade later, the desirability of pressure relief in distribution arresters became more widely recognized. A design test procedure was incorporated into ANSI Standard C62.1 and several designs with end venting systems, sometimes enhanced with arc transfer systems and/or use of internal liners, have been available in recent years. All of these designs continued the use of porcelain housings. Therefore, if rated fault current magnitude, or duration, is exceeded, the risk of porcelain fragmentation remains. The ESP polymer-housed PDV/PVR arresters with epoxy/ fiberglass-wrapped MOV disc modules eliminates the major hazard of an arrester failure by not having a porcelain housing to explode if a power arc is established within the arrester.

Full Scale Fault Current Tests

A series of full voltage tests was conducted in accordance with Section 8.10 of ANSI/IEEE C62.11-1993 to determine the failure modes of the PDV/PVR arresters. The 8.4 kV MCOV specimens were assembled with fine fuse wire shunting the blocks before assembly within the module. As described by the standard, this technique simulates the result of arrester failure by internal dielectric breakdown. Fault currents of 500 to 20,000 amperes RMS symmetrical for durations of 10 to 120 cycles were used in these studies on the PDV-100/PVR arrester. Fault currents of 500 to 10,000 amperes RMS symmetrical for durations of 10 to 120 cycles were used in the PDV-65 studies. Successful performance was demonstrated when the epoxy/fiberglass-wrapped modules either ruptured or burned through to relieve internal pressure. The polymer housings then split open to relieve pressure. At high fault currents the housing may become detached from the MOV module. Since higher voltage arresters were assembled by modular construction, the test results are valid for all arrester voltage ratings. The test sequence was recorded by ultra high-speed movies and camera photographs of the before and after condition of the arresters.

PDV/PVR Design Test Report Summary

The PDV-100 and PDV-65 arresters have been tested in accordance with ANSI Standard C62.11-1993 for metal-oxide surge arresters. There is no ANSI Standard for PVR arresters so they were tested per the heavy duty requirement.

The PDV-100 epoxy-fiberglass-wrapped metal-oxide disc modules ruptured to relieve the internal pressure generated by a fault current arc of 10 kA for 10 cycles. The polymer housing has been split open, but the housing remains attached.

The PDV-100/PVR meet or exceed all the requirements for heavy-duty distribution arrester designs. The PDV-65 meets or exceeds all requirements for normal duty surge arresters. The table below summarizes the capabilities of these designs. Heavy Duty PDV-100 +Riser Pole PVR 2 - 100 kA Discharges 20 - 250A x 2000 sec Discharges 20 - 10 kA plus 2 - 40 kA Discharges

Arrester Lead Length

The first step in reducing voltage stress to extend the life of insulated equipment is to use metal-oxide varistor (MOV) arresters which have lower discharge voltage levels than equivalent silicon-carbide (SiC) designs. The next step in reducing voltage stress is the use of optimum connection methods for the arrester lead wires. The highest current surge voltage stress occurs when lightning strokes to the overhead line have fast rates-of-rise. An arrester discharge current which reaches its crest in 1 sec will produce 10% more voltage across an MOV arrester, and 30% more voltage across an SIC arrester, than will the standard 8 sec test waves used to establish the comparative IR discharge voltage data shown in arrester catalogs. Adding to the surge voltage across the arrester is the L di/dt inductive drop in the lead wire carrying the surge current. It is now known that fast-rising arrester discharge currents are much more common than previously believed. In the late 1970s, more accurate measurements of arrester surge currents were taken which showed rates-or-rise at 13 kA/ sec in half of the discharges, with a maximum value of 60 kA/sec. Consistent with this relatively new data, a realistic estimate for the lead wire voltage drop in arrester installations exposed to lightning is 6 kV/foot - this value is now used for calculating the protective margins under fast-front surge conditions. Many pole mounted transformer installations use arresters mounted on the crossarm. Such installations tend to have very long arrester leads which greatly increase surge voltage stress on transformer windings. Arrester lead is the combined length of line and ground lead wire in series with the arrester AND in parallel with the protected device (transformer in this case). An arrester with lead length of 10 feet can typically add 60 kV to the arrester discharge voltage during fast-front lightning surges. Typical arresters used in this type (13.2 kV system, 95 kV BIL) of installation would discharge such a surge at about 36.5 kV, making the total voltage surge on the transformer 96.5 kV. This leaves a protective margin to the 110 kV chopped-wave withstand of only 11% well below the 20% minimum recommended. However, the protective margin could be greatly improved by moving the ground connection of the transformers up the pole to just under the crossarm, to where the arrester ground leads meet the pole ground. This connection method would reduce arrester lead from ten to five feet. Lead wire inductive drop would then be reduced from 60 to 30 kV. Total voltage stress on the transformers would be reduced to 71 kV and the protective margin would be increased to a comfortable 55%.

Selection of arrester size is based upon the maximum continuous operating voltage (MCOV) that is applied across the arrester in service (line-to-ground). For arresters on effectively grounded systems, this is normally the maximum line-to-ground voltage -- e.g., 7.65 kV on a 12.47 kV multigrounded system. For ungrounded or impedance-grounded systems, the MCOV should be at least 90 percent of maximum phase-to-phase voltage. Smaller arresters than shown may be used, contact your Ohio Brass representative for details. For convenience, the catalog data shown on page 12 includes the traditional duty-cycle voltage rating associated with the MCOV of each arrester.

Voltage Per Unit MCOV

Time Duration - Seconds

DynaVar PDV/PVR arresters are gapless and all the system line-to-ground voltage appears on the metal-oxide valve elements. The blocks can withstand significant overvoltage for a limited time, depending on the magnitude of any immediately preceding surge duty. They can withstand 1.1 percent of MCOV for periods of 2000 hours, up to five percent of the life of the arrester. PVR arresters can withstand about 3.4 KJ/KV of MCOV within one minute. DynaVar PDV100 arresters can absorb up to 2.2 kJ per kV of MCOV within one minute. DynaVar PDV-65 arresters can absorb up to 1.4 kJ per kV of MCOV within one minute. This maximum energy rating may be repeated many times provided there is a sufficient cooling time to keep arrester temperature at reasonable levels.

Step 1 - The catalog number (page 12) of the basic 10 kV PDV-65 arrester is 217259. Step 2 - The 7200 code in the table below specifies the top terminal and wire clamp. Step 3 - The 7020 code specifies the insulating base bracket and 4 x 5 NEMA crossarm hanger. Step 4 - The 7004 code specifies the ground lead isolator, terminal nut and nut. Step 5 - Combine the three suffix digits following the 7 in their correct order gives us the suffix code: 7224. Step 6 - Order the arrester by complete catalog number 217259-7224.

Optional Attachments for PDV & PVR Surge Arresters

The installed cost of distribution arresters can be held to a minimum by ordering only the attachments specifically required for the application. Ohio Brass simplifies this procedure by offering a variety of interchangeable accessories which can be obtained by combining a coded suffix number with the basic arrester catalog number. The same suffix numbers apply to accessories for the PDV/PVR. The coded suffix number is determined by replacing the 0s in the 7000 code with the appropriate number digit to specify the required accessories. The first digit after the 7 describes the line terminal hardware; the second digit describes the mounting hardware; and the third digit describes the ground terminal hardware. An 0 in any of the three positions indicates that no attachment for that position is being ordered. The tabulation at the bottom of this page can be used to obtain the suffix code for all common attachments offered by Ohio Brass. The illustrations (on pages 10 and 11) provide the suffix code for some of the more popular combinations. Ohio Brass district managers have information on additional optional attachments not listed in this catalog. Recommendations will be made upon request.

Insulation Coordination
These electrical characteristics are used to determine protective margins for insulation levels in use. These two figures illustrate a 34.5 kV effectively grounded system, 150 kV BIL, protected with 22 kV MCOV Type PDV arresters. Figure 1 shows equipment protected with a PDV-100 arrester Catalog Number 213622 and Figure 2 shows the same equipment protected with a PDV-65 arrester Catalog Number 217272. The protective margins are calculated using the following formula: Insulation Level ( Arrester Discharge Voltage -1 coordinated with the 500 ampere switching discharge voltage of the surge arrester. The effects of faster rates of rise and of reduced insulation strength due to aging effects would result in further reduced protective margins. Industry standards recommend minimum margins of 20 percent for the chopped wave and BIL levels and 15 percent for switching surge protection.

x 100 = % Margin

Fig. 1
PDV-100 METAL-OXIDE ARRESTER INSULATION COORDINATION 34.5 kV System

The insulation levels are obtained from the manufacturer of the equipment being protected. The arrester discharge voltages are obtained from the table on page 12. For example, the protective margin for the BIL is determined by first finding the arrester discharge voltage at the impulse current level selected. In this example, the 10 kA discharge current is used as representative of typical lightning stroke currents discharged through the arrester. The 10 kA 8/20 discharge voltage of catalog number 213622 is 86.5 kV. The percent protective margin using the formula is: 150 ( 86.5 kV - 1) kV x 100 =73 percent.

The protective margins for other impulse currents are found in a similar fashion. In the case of the PDV-65 arrester, the 10 kA 8/20 discharge voltage of the arrester is 99 kV. This results in a protective margin of 52 percent. These examples include many simplifying assumptions. Not included are the effects of faster rates of current rise on the discharge voltage, reduced insulation levels due to various factors, and line and ground leads. For example, if the effect of lead length was included in the calculations and 1.6 kV per foot of lead length added to the discharge voltage of the arrester. With two feet of line lead and two feet of ground lead, 6.4 kV is added to the published discharge voltage of the arrester. Therefore, the discharge voltage of the PDV-100 is effectively 92.9 kV, resulting in a reduction of protective margin to 61 percent at 10 kA. In the case of the PDV-65 arrester, the 99 kV discharge voltage of the arrester is added to the 6.4 kV from the leads resulting in equipment seeing 105.4 kV reducing the protective margin to 42 percent. The chopped wave strength of the insulation being protected is typically coordinated with the .5 sec discharge voltage of the surge arrester. The heavy duty PDV-100 uses a 10 kA current while the PDV-65 catalog value is for a 5 kA peak current. The switching surge insulation level of the equipment is
