Metal Oxide Surge Arresters
SBKC Series in Cage Design for applications up to 420 kV

Tridelta offers arresters with silicone housing in Cage Design of the SBKC series for applications up to 420 kV.
Fibreglass Reinforced Plastic rods (FRP) are fixed in the arrester terminals by means of a TRIDELTA patented technique and form a kind of cage around the metal oxide varistor blocks which provides high mechanical stability to the arrester. The direct molding of the active part with LSR silicone prevents from any moisture ingress and ensures high reliability. Tridelta uses high-quality LSR silicone which keeps its hydrophobic and UV-resistant/non ageing properties over the complete service life and ensures excellent artificial pollution performance.
SBKC arresters in Cage Design are suitable for applications with advanced mechanical requirements and offer an outstanding price-performance ratio. It can be installed in substations in stationary or suspended installation and is best adapted for use as line arresters for the protection of transmission lines. High level and stable manufacturing quality on the newest machinery as well as testing with state-of-the-art test equipment assure a long service life.
