The surge arrester counter / surge arrester monitor is a monitoring device for metal oxide surge arresters. It is an integral part of the arrester’s earth connection and counts the number of times that the arrester has been in operation.

JS-8 Series Surge Counter:

Able to record the number of times an arrester has been tripped.

It is constructed with a high performance zinc oxide varistor block to ensure reliable performance.

JCQ Series Surge Monitor:

An advanced device that not only records the operating times of the arresters, but also monitors the leakage current.

Gives detailed information on the arrester’s condition and performance.

Design features:

 

Compact design: Both the JS-8 and JCQ have a compact design for ease of installation and minimum space requirements.

Easy integration: They can be easily integrated into existing surge arrestor systems without the need for extensive modifications.

Durable construction: Designed to withstand the tough conditions commonly found in electrical infrastructure applications.

Installation Process:

Installation process:

 

Preparation: Make sure that the overvoltage protection and the monitoring device are compatible and correctly matched.

Connection: Connect the surge voltage meter or surge voltage monitor to the ground terminal of the surge arrester.

Configuration: Ensure it is correctly calibrated and set up according to the manufacturer’s guidelines.

Verification: Test the system to ensure that the meter or monitor operates correctly and records accurate data.

Environmental conditions:

 

Temperature range: Engineered to operate effectively over a wide temperature range, typically -40°C to +70°C.

Humidity resistance: Capable of operating in high humidity environments without performance degradation.

Chemical resistance: The materials used withstand the chemicals commonly used on electrical installations.

UV resistance: The external components are designed to withstand exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation to ensure long-term use in outdoor environments.
