    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Pertains to non linear metal-oxide resistor type surge arresters (MO surge arresters) without spark gaps designed to limit voltage surges on d.c. traction systems with nominal voltage up to 1500 V.

    Scope - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    This Technical Specification applies to non linear metal-oxide resistor type surge arresters (MO surge arresters) without spark gaps designed to limit voltage surges on d.c. traction systems with nominal voltage up to 1 500 V.

    This Technical Specification applies to protection of equipment.

    Same principles for selection and application apply for MO surge arresters on d.c. traction systems with nominal voltage 3 000 V.
