BLITZDUCTOR® VT KKS

Combined lightning current and surge arrester for cathodic protection systems

Arrester for protecting active cathodic protection systems. Integrated floating remote signalling contact (break contact) monitors the function of the arrester.
  • Extremely efficient thanks to high discharge capacity
  • Easy maintenance due to remote signalling contact
  • Resistant to permanent interference voltages up to 65 V a.c.

Description

The protective circuit and voltage measuring circuit are protected against surges caused by atmospheric discharges (lightning strikes) or switching operations (in power supply lines).
The devices are designed for permanent interference voltages up to 65 V a.c. between pipelines and earth. If this value is exceeded, the relevant regulations concerning protection against electric shock have to be observed and further measures have to be taken.
The devices may be overloaded by overcurrents as a result of mains faults (short-circuits or earth faults). For this reason, they should be installed in a separate metal enclosure or a prewired terminal unit (ITAK) should be used. The integrated remote signalling contact indicates thermal overload of the discharge paths.

Energy-coordinated combined lightning current and surge arrester for protecting the rectifier in a protective circuit (red colour). Plug-in remote signalling contact (break contact) indicates overload (thermal monitoring of the varistors). Installation into steel-sheet enclosure recommended. A low impulse sparkover voltage is achieved by capacitive control.
