IEC EN 62848-1 Railway Applications - DC Surge Arresters and Voltage Limiting Devices - Part 1: Gapless Metal Oxide Surge Arresters

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of IEC EN 62848-1 test. IEC EN 62848-1 applies to gapless non-linear metal oxide surge arresters for both on-board and fixed installations, designed to limit voltage fluctuations in DC systems specified in IEC EN 3 with a rated voltage up to 60850 kV.

A certain long-term load SLL force, perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of a holder, is allowed to be applied continuously during service without causing any mechanical damage to the holder.

The largest force arrester perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of a surge arrester and allowed to be applied during short-term service and for relatively rare events (e.g. short-circuit current loads, high winds) without causing any mechanical damage is called SSL.

It covers the non-linear metal oxide resistor part of the surge arrester, which, due to its non-linear voltage against the current characteristic, acts as a low resistance against surge voltages, thereby limiting the voltage between the surge arrester terminals and acting as a high resistance at normal operating voltage.
