HY10CX-102/296 10kV Series Gap Line Type Zinc Oxide Arrester Composite Housing
Product Overview
Power system overvoltage protection is a key link in ensuring the safe operation of transmission and transformation equipment. Traditional arresters have problems of insufficient current carrying capacity and high residual voltage under lightning impulse and switching overvoltages, leading to frequent insulation breakdown accidents. The HY10CX-102/296 10kV series gap line type zinc oxide arrester adopts composite housing technology, combining zinc oxide nonlinear resistors with series gap structure, specially designed for 110kV system transmission lines, effectively limiting lightning overvoltage and switching overvoltage amplitudes. It is the core protection component for insulation coordination. This product features large current carrying capacity, low residual voltage and fast response speed, suitable for complex outdoor environments, significantly improving line lightning protection levels.
Organic housing metal oxide arresters combine the technical advantages of organic insulation materials and porcelain housing arresters, featuring good electrical insulation performance, high dielectric strength, anti-tracking, anti-corrosion, heat resistance, cold resistance, aging resistance, explosion-proof, hydrophobicity and good sealing performance. HY10CX-102/296 is suitable for AC 220kV and below power generation, transmission, transformation and distribution systems, limiting lightning and system internal operating overvoltage amplitudes to specified levels. It is the preferred lightning protection component for integrated, modular medium and high voltage transmission and transformation complete equipment. The same series includes HY5CX-90/260, HY10CX-90/260, HY10CX90/280 and other models, meeting different voltage levels and current carrying requirements.

- Good sealing performance using integral injection molding process, no internal air gaps, moisture-proof and corrosion-proof, low operation and maintenance cost.
Application Scenarios
10kV series gap line type zinc oxide arresters are widely used in 110kV transmission lines, distribution lines, substation incoming protection and power plant outgoing sides. Particularly suitable for lightning-prone areas, strong lightning areas and complex terrain areas, protecting line insulators, transformers, circuit breakers, cables and other equipment from overvoltage damage. In power systems of petroleum, chemical, railway, metallurgy and other industries, this product serves as the core component of overvoltage protection, significantly reducing lightning trip rates and equipment damage rates. The series gap structure enables reliable operation under abnormal conditions such as single-phase grounding in the system, adapting to neutral non-effectively grounded systems.
