ZORC-Transient Surge Suppressor

The ZORC is a transient surge suppressor that protects motors, transformers, and generators from high magnitude voltage spikes and surges. It is unique in its high frequency protection capabilities. It saves costs by preventing equipment failures and can protect equipment throughout their lifetime. Standard and intrinsically safe models are available for single or three phase applications between 400V to 40kV. The ZORC uses capacitors, resistors, and ZnO arresters in a voltage dependent network and is factory tested to stringent voltage standards to ensure reliable protection.

Installation:

ZORC surge suppressors may be installed in any orientation (including upside down) on the machine side of the associated medium
voltage motor/generator/transformer switch, in the following positions (in order of preferance from a surge protection point-of-view):
In the motor/generator/transformer terminal box, connected from each phase to earth
Cabled to the motor/generator/transformer terminal box via a 3-core cable (25mm minimum), plus earth conductor (in accordance
with local regulations).
In line with the motor/generator/transformer supply cable, shunt connected from each phase to earth.
In the associated motor/generator/transformer switch panel, connected from each phase to earth.
Convenient mounting brackets or clamps are provided.

TEST 1 Capacitance to be within 10% of nameplate rating when measure before and after test.
Apply test voltage between L1 & L2, L1 & L3, and L2 & L3 phases, each for 10 seconds.
TEST 2 Bridge L1, L2 & L3, and then apply test voltage between bridged connections and earth for 10 seconds.
Note: These are factory ZORC tests and should not be used as site testing. (Refer below).
