Protection against overvoltages caused by lightning strokes or switching operations in low voltage systems,
starting from low voltage bushing insulator of low voltage/medium voltage transformer up to point of entry of power line into the building:
- Cable output in overhead power lines – the solution commonly used when new receivers of electricity are connected to the line. In this case surge arresters protect the equipment at final receiver but also protect a cable against the effects of overvoltages
- Overhead cable joints and elements of power system – installation of surge arresters provide the protection of equipment at final receiver and also does not allow to spread the overvoltage wave over elements of the system
- Medium /low voltage power stations, low voltage side – surge arresters being installed on low voltage side provide the protection against overvoltages transferred to the low voltage system from medium voltage system. They give the protection of transformer and outgoing circuits from low voltage station
- Terminals of overhead low voltage power lines
- Points of branch of low voltage overhead lines
- Outdoor (housing resistant to UV) can also be used to indoor applications
- Altitude up to 2000 m above sea level suitable for operation
- Storage and operation temperature: from -40°C to +70°C
- Rrelative humidity up to 90%

* Use in network where the phase conductor is not allowed to appear voltage higher than 280 V.
Due to the large amount of earth faults in low voltage networks it is recommended using of surge arresters with continuous operating voltage at least 440 V.
