Lightning Overvoltage Protection Unit UZGP-1

Lightning Overvoltage Protection Unit UZGP-1 is used to secure the work of the electric elements employed for the electrolytic cathodic protection – protection stations, rectifiers and converters. UZGP-1 serves to be a lightning conductor absorbing electric overvoltage resulting from a lightning strike or other thunder impacts.

Specifications and Design Characteristics

• Life cycle of the unit is min. 25000 hours of uninterrupted protection with 90% protection probability value, an average service life is 20 years.
• The unit should be installed in the open air. Its dimensions are 349х105х89.5 mm. It is supplied in a metal housing protecting UZGP-1 from water or illegal actions of unauthorized people.
• Range of operating temperatures is from -45 to +45 Celcius degrees, which means that this unit can be used in any region.
• Absorbed voltage of the unit is 220 V, it withstands 2000 V overvoltage from the lightning strike.
• The unit is completely self-contained: no extra actions are required when in operation.

Maintenance Recommendations

• It it necessary to familiarize oneself with a datasheet of UZGP-1 and maintenance guidelines prior the installation and start-up of the unit.
• The unit should be mounted on a smooth vertical surface close to the protected cathodic protection station.
• Prior start-up it is necessary to check the reliability of all connecting points and make sure that the unit is connected to the earthing contour.
• In case of failure of varistors responsible for the protection, they are replaced by similar varistors in accordance with the Maintenance.
