Bowthorpe pioneered the development
of polymeric housed surge
arresters in the early 1980's and since
1986 have a proven service experience
across the globe, operating in the
worlds toughest environments.
Bowthorpe "OCP" silicone surge
arresters have been designed and
tested to meet our customers
toughest environmental conditions
and to meet the requirements of
IEC60099-4. Our gapless zinc oxide
polymeric arresters have been in
service since 1994 and now the
OCP ranges builds on this experience
and know how.
OCP is the latest gapless, zinc oxide
arrester family from Bowthorpe.
The OCP development was based
on 25 years of internal experience
in arrester design and manufacture
within the Tyco Electronics Energy
Division. The final "OCP" qualification
was performed in independent
laboratory facilities in Europe.
OCP cores are manufactured using
superior ZnO varistors, which display
excellent thermal and current handling
characteristics due to the guaranteed
homogeneity of the varistor volume.
This superior thermal behavior yields
products with:
Excellent TOV performance. Safe, non-shattering failure in the
short circuit test by pre-failing to
higher fault currents. High energy handling capability.
Tested in accordance with
IEC60099-4 at independent accredited laboratories Superior protection margins Direct molded housing to prevent
moisture ingress Low residual voltages High-energy handling Superior TOV performance Safe non-shattering short circuit
behavior to higher current levels Maintenance free Hydrophobic silicone housing:
(Tracking and erosion resistant) Excellent cantilever and tensile
performance Excellent mechanical, vibration and
impact withstand capability Quality design and manu facturing,
ISO 9001 and 14001 compliant TRUST Bowthorpe Surge Arresters
