Product descriptions from the supplier
The metal zinc oxide trap is a high-tech product from the 1990s internationally. It uses zinc oxide resistors with excellent nonlinear volt ampere characteristics, which greatly improves the protection characteristics of lightning arresters under steep slopes, lightning waves, and operating waves compared to traditional silicon carbide lightning arresters. Especially zinc oxide resistors have good steep slope response characteristics, no delay in steep slope voltage, low residual voltage during operation, and no discharge dispersion. Thus, it overcomes the inherent disadvantages of high slope discharge voltage caused by steep slope discharge delay and high operation wave discharge voltage due to large dispersion of operation wave discharge in silicon carbide lightning arresters, greatly improving the protection margin under steep slopes and operation waves. Moreover, in terms of insulation coordination, it can achieve similar protection margins for steep slopes, lightning waves, and operation waves, providing optimal protection for power equipment and improving the reliability of protection. Zinc oxide lightning arrester has the ability to absorb lightning overvoltage, operational overvoltage, and power frequency transient overvoltage simultaneously. The composite jacket metal zinc oxide lightning arrester is a high-tech product from the 1990s internationally. It is molded with integral silicone rubber, which has good sealing performance and excellent explosion-proof performance. Pollution is free from cleaning, and can reduce the occurrence of wet flashes in foggy days. It is resistant to electrical corrosion and aging, small in size and light in weight, and collision resistant, which is convenient for installation and maintenance. It is an upgraded product of porcelain bushing lightning arrester.

Why Do Substations Use Stones, Gravel, Pebbles, and Crushed Rock?Why Do Substations Use Stones, Gravel, Pebbles, and Crushed Rock?In substations, equipment such as power and distribution transformers, transmission lines, voltage transformers, current transformers, and disconnect switches all require grounding. Beyond grounding, we will now explore in depth why gravel and crushed stone are commonly used in substations. Though they appear ordinary, these stones play a critical safety and functional role.In substation grounding design—especially when multiple gr01/29/2026 -
Why Must a Transformer Core Be Grounded at Only One Point? Isn't Multi-Point Grounding More Reliable?Why Does the Transformer Core Need to Be Grounded?During operation, the transformer core, along with the metal structures, parts, and components that fix the core and windings, are all situated in a strong electric field. Under the influence of this electric field, they acquire a relatively high potential with respect to ground. If the core is not grounded, a potential difference will exist between the core and the grounded clamping structures and tank, which may lead to intermittent discharge.I01/29/2026 -
