Parkingstand Lightning Arrester

Hubbell Parkingstand Lightning Arresters are gapless, metal oxide varistor (MOV) surge arresters. They are designed to provide shielded, dead-front arrester protection for 15 kV underground systems. Hubbell Parkingstand Lightning Arresters limit over-voltages to acceptable levels, protecting equipment and extending life. The critical values for arresters are the discharge voltage (IR) and the IEEE Std. 386 interface class. In general, the lower the discharge voltage, the better the protection margin. Hubbell parking stand arresters are non-fragmenting and they fully conform to the safe-failure mode per IEEE Std. C62.11. The standard requires that should the arrester blocks fail they will not be ejected through the body or side wall of the housing. The MOV blocks should exit out the bottom, down and away from equipment and personnel.

Application:
Hubbell Parkingstand Lightning Arresters contain a 200 amp loadbreak interface that conforms to IEEE Std. 386 Fig 5 (15kV). A Hubbell arrester installed at the end of a radial system or at both ends of an open point in a loop circuit will provide excellent protection against high voltage surges resulting from lightning or switching. When combined with an Ohio Brass PVR (Riser Pole) arrester, optimum protection can be achieved. They are fully shielded and submersible, either continuously or intermittently, to a depth of 6 feet (2m).

Installation:
The Hubbell Parkingstand Lightning Arrester should be installed utilizing a shotgun type hotstick.

Performance Characteristics
Tests were performed in accordance with applicable sections of IEEE Std. C62.11 (Metal Oxide Surge Arresters for Alternating Current Power Circuits) with test levels chosen that represent typical underground distribution systems.

Features:
The insulating rubber body consists of peroxide-cured EPDM rubber that offers reliability and the molded shield consists of conductive peroxide-cured EPDM that meets the requirements of IEEE Std. 592 for exposed semi-conducting shields. The drain wire tab provides a contact point to attach a #14 ground wire to ensure the shield is at ground potential and maintains deadfront construction. The fiberglass wrap ensures that the MOV block stack (same MOV blocks found in Ohio Brass overhead arresters) remains in one piece and prevents the blocks from breaching the side wall should the arrester fail. An ID band around the body of the arrester provides clear visual identification of arrester MCOV and duty cycle ratings. The flexible lead is #4 AWG copper rope lay conductor, featuring a soldered end to prevent fraying. A 36 inch length is standard, however, other lead lengths are available. Please contact your Hubbell sales representative for other lead length options. Page 2 | June 2012
