COST EFFECTIVE SOLUTION TO PROTECT MEDIUM VOLTAGE INSTALLATIONS AGAINST LIGHTNING

Prevent insulator and conductor No grounding to adjust and control

breakage
No copper ground lead required
Protect sensitive components (Surge
arresters, transformers, etc.) Self-protected product

Avoid outages on the line No maintenance required

Avoid short circuits (follow current) Fix and forget (20 years life expectancy)

One time investment for the line

Higher reliability of the line

INNOVATIVE
EasyQuench is a unique technology able
to protect OHL from lightning by
discharging energy in the air. It requires
NO additional product (ground lead,
ground rod, etc.) EQ functions with the
conductivity of the pole and cross arm.
TECHNOLOGY
The principle:
A lightning surge (direct or induced) along
the line will create an arc between the
line and the EQ. The arc will then go
through a series of discharge chambers
that will extend it and extinguish it.

Streamer Interna tional AG

 Terminal electrode

The STREAMER
SmartArrester SAi20z
can discharge up to
18 lightning impulses 3 – Arc quenching chambers
of 16kA during 200µs
(IEC 60099-8). This is
10 times more than a Attachment point
conventional
distribution class
surge arrester. We
tested our product at
2 – Intermediate electrodes
CESI Laboratory. This
is why the SAi20z has
a life expectancy of
Reinforcing rod
20 years and is a one
time investment for
your distribution line

STANDSTILL

The STREAMER SmartArrester SAi20z installed in

coordination with surge arrester provides the best possible
protection for transformers against any kind of surges and
follow currents.
