What Is a Composite Polymer Lightning Arrester?

A Lightning Arrester (LA) protects electrical systems from transient overvoltages caused by lightning or switching surges.
Composite Polymer Lightning Arresters use non-linear zinc oxide blocks encapsulated in a polymer housing to discharge surge energy safely to the ground — without any spark gap.Compared to porcelain arresters, polymer versions are lighter, hydrophobic, and maintenance-free, offering long-term stability even in polluted or coastal zones.

Key Benefits:
Provides reliable overvoltage and surge protection.
Hydrophobic silicone rubber prevents tracking and leakage.
Light weight → easier installation on poles and substations.
Resistant to UV radiation, corrosion, and mechanical shocks.
Meets IEC 60099-4 international standards.
