MATERIAL STANDARD Page: 1 of 3
1. Scope
This standard applies to 21 kV duty-cycle rating, heavy-duty distribution class,
polymer-housed, metal-oxide surge arresters.
2. Application
Heavy-duty distribution class surge arresters are intended for use on
26400GrdY/15240 V power systems in areas where the nominal fault duty is less than
20 kA rms symmetrical. Arresters are installed on riser poles to protect underground
cable and equipment.
In areas where the fault duty is between 20 kA and 40 kA rms symmetrical, refer to
Seattle City Light (SCL) 6801.60, “21 kV Intermediate Class, Polymer, Metal-Oxide
Surge Arresters.”
This standard applies to SCL Stock No. 680115.
3. Industry Standards
