High Voltage – Reliable Protection
Siemens surge arresters have successfully
­defied high winds, severe weather, harsh
­environments and even earthquakes for
­decades. Our surge arresters exhibit the
­properties and ­provide the benefits that
­ensure they will p­ erform as intended –
­protecting equipment and systems from
­lightning and switching overvoltages.
With decades of experience in the design and manu­facturing of
high voltage power supply components, Siemens also specializes
in advanced Silicone Rubber (SR) insulated surge arresters pro-
viding the highest levels of mechanical strength, performance
and safety even in the most demanding environments, such as
in contaminated, industrially polluted, high seismic and vandal
prone critical installations.
The product family of our surge arresters offers the right solution
to any specific need. They have a proven fit for protecting trans-
mission lines and transformers, as well as complete switchgear
from the hazards of high voltage start-up surges, line transients
and lightning. Siemens surge arresters have been successfully
tested to the latest ANSI/IEEE Standard C62.11.

As pioneers in the field of Silicone Rubber
(SR) insulation and one of the few suppliers
with comprehensive inhouse research and
development capabilities in this industry,
we can also provide surge arresters cus-
tomized to very special requirements. The
cost-effectiveness of our products is under-
scored by uncompromising quality ensur-
ing the long service life and reliability of
each application.
Available off-the-shelf, the 3EL standard
series of our SR surge arresters have been
designed to meet the requirements of
a wide range of common installation
­environments. For more demanding appli-
cations, our high-end 3EQ series will main-
tain at least 75 % of its nominal mechanical
strength in the event of a pressure relief,
and can thus also be used as a “regular”
support (station post) insulator.
Siemens Promise – System Reliability
Silicone Rubber (SR) Insulation for Safety
Siemens offers two different types of arresters with SR housing:
The 3EL series for standard applications, and the advanced
3EQ series for the highest performance needs. Both are
­designed u­ sing the same glass collared MOV-blocks resulting
in outstanding electrical performance.
SR has been used as an outdoor insulation material for over
25 years, with excellent service experience even under severe
climatic and environmental conditions. Today, it is among the
most widely used materials for HV outdoor equipment.
Silicone is highly hydrophobic. While there are many polymeric
materials with similar initial hydrophobic properties, most of
them lose their hydrophobicity after a relatively short period such
as EPDM based alloy rubber. Only the true SR is capable of main-
taining its hydrophobicity throughout its entire lifetime. This
­ensures the long service life of our 3EL and 3EQ arresters.
Further key advantages of SR especially
compared to EPDM based alloy rubber
­include:
■■ High resistance to tracking erosion
■■ Excellent resistance to flashover
■■ Superior UV stability
■■ Self-extinguishing flame retardancy
■■ Adaptability to variable design and
ease of processing

One Goal – 3 Designs
3EL Silicone Rubber (SR)
Surge Arresters with Cage Design™
The standard 3EL series is
based on a cage of p ­ restressed
fiber glass ­reinforced rods
for high ­mechanical strength.
The SR insulation is molded
­directly onto the MOV-Blocks.
The design provides an
­optimum price/performance
­ratio for applications up to
345 kV system voltage. The
3EL1 series as lower voltage
station class surge arrester
is an ­enhancement of our
3EL product line. 3EL
■■ Total encapsulation of all components
to avoid partial discharges and moisture
­ingress
■■ High mechanical performance for
­standard applications
■■ Silicone Rubber shielding provides
low-pressure release of the arc in
the event of a short circuit
■■ Significant weight savings vs.
­comparable porcelain arresters,
­facilitating transport and installation
of the arresters
■■ Suitable for use as substation and/or
line surge arresters

3EQ Silicone Rubber (SR)
Surge Arresters with Tube Design 3EP Porcelain Surge Arresters
The fiber reinforced plastic
(FRP) tube material has been
chosen to provide the highest
possible mechanical strength.
Due to its excellent pro­cessi­
bility, the SR insulation is
molded directly onto the
FRP tube.
The 3EQ tube design is
considered the best choice The high-quality porcelain

 Product Range

We offer multiple models for each family of arresters.

They differ mainly in diameter and length of the
housings and size of the M
­ OV-blocks to fulfill different
customer ­requirements.

Marking and nameplate of high-voltage surge arresters

A nameplate is installed on each high-voltage surge arrester
when it s­ uccessfully passes the mechanical routine test. It is
a weather- and UV-proof blue name plate placed at the flange
of a surge arrester.
