Abstract

Transformers are becoming more and more space-saving, but they also need to be flexible, perhaps even mobile. All components must offer highest operational reliability, allowing quick installation as well as long-term flexibility. This is the reason why separable connecting systems are the next step in connecting transformers. As they are making progress toward replacing conventional connection methods, the importance of an entire pluggable product portfolio is increasing. This portfolio includes pluggable surge arresters as they are a vital component for transformer safety. The dry-type pluggable surge arresters may highly reduce space requirements. A solution has now been developed for a rated voltage of up to 180 kV.
