Surge Protection for AC Rotating Machines - 1

Surge Protection for AC Rotating Machines Capacitors, TRANQUELL™ Arresters and Motor Surge Equipment Product Selection & Application Guide GE Surge Protection Capacitors & Equipment Protective capacitors offer surge protection for AC generators, synchronous condensers and large motors. Surge capacitors protect the winding insulation by reducing the steepness of wave fronts applied to or reflected within the machine windings. Dielektrol™ is the GE non-PCB power capacitor dielectric fluid developed to provide an environmentally acceptable product with superior performance and reliability. GE protective capacitors contain an all film dielectric system and hermetically sealed bushings, which permit mounting these capacitors upright or on their side. GE TRANQUELL Arresters when utilized with GE Surge capacitors provide additional security for AC rotating machines. Arresters provide a reduction of lightening stresses by limiting the amplitude of applied impulse waves or reflections within the machine windings. GE provides the complete assembly solution suitable for indoor or outdoor applications. GE can also provide individual capacitor(s) and arresters for individual application requirements. 18L Series Protective Capacitors 38F Series Motor Surge Protection

Surge Protection for AC Rotating Machines - 5

Application and Selection Guide Surge Capacitors & Motor Surge Protection Application Information GE Dielektrol Surge Capacitors and TRANQUELL Motor Surge Protectors can be applied directly at the motor or generator terminals to reduce the potential for damage caused by lightning and or switching surges. GE Surge Protective Capacitors reduce the steepness of wave fronts to protect turn to turn insulation from surges applied to or reflected within machine windings. GE TRANQUELL Motor Surge Protectors utilize GE TRANQUELL Surge Arresters applied in parallel with GE Dielektrol Surge...
