Surge and lightning arresters

Intermediate and station class arresters

Eaton's Cooper Power series polymer- and porcelain-housed intermediate and station-class surge arresters feature enhancements in arrester design, including increased cantilever strength and improved energy handling capability.

Increased cantilever strength
Improved performance
Enhanced design
Improved energy handling
Built to exacting specs
Reliable service

Core features

  • Meet or exceed the requirements of IEEE Std C62.11 standard or IEC 60099-4
  • The UltraSIL silicone rubber housing was selected for its superior insulation performance as compared to other polymeric housing materials. Long term environmental testing has verified the lifetime performance advantage that silicone rubber provides
  • The hollow core design offers improved cantilever strength and directional venting
  • Moisture-impervious wrap
  • Optionally available with extra creepage for use in areas with extreme conditions of natural and man-made atmospheric pollution

Station-class arresters

This video discusses the core features and key benefits of Eaton’s Cooper Power series station-class arresters.

Wide range with exacting specifications

Eaton's Cooper Power series arresters range from intermediate through station-class arresters up to 396 kV. The station arresters are built to exacting specifications and tested to IEEE or IEC requirements for years of reliable service

Designed for superior energy handling

The newest high strength type arrester is built with extra-high energy-rated disks, exceptional cantilever strength and directional venting.
