Our experience
With 20 years know-how in the field of Medium Voltage network
protection, DERVASIL designs and manufactures lightning
arresters with zinc oxide varistors and synthetic housings.

Our products
DERVASIL offers:
›› A range of latest generation arresters:
5 kA or 10 kA arresters with fault indicator or disconnector.
Arresters for power follow current breaking.
D.C. voltage arresters.
DERVASIL arresters do not have internal spark gaps. They
exhibit stable characteristics, with practically constant, very
short response times (30 to 50 ns), and better behaviour under
pollution.
Direct injection of Silicone Rubber ensures both absolute
sealing, exceptional resistance to pollution and excellent
behaviour without explosion in case of short-circuit
They have been tested in accordance with the latest version of dervasil
IEC Standard 60099-4.
›› New range of composite insulators: suspension insulators,
tension insulators and support insulators.

Our R & D department

DERVASIL has comprehensive calculation and testing equipment
for the design of lightning arresters. Our facilities are available to
customers for specific applications.

Our quality and environmental system

DERVASIL is ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 system certified.
Our production process is approved by EDF and incorporates all
routine tests required by IEC Standard 60099-4. !

discharges. ZC-B1M Surge counter can be used with class 1 & 2 DERVASIL lightning arresters
and also similar arresters of other manufacturers.
Number of discharges is recorded by 5-digit cyclometer and readings can be taken through the
inspection window.Leakage current of lightning arrester is measured by 0-3mA scale reading
milliammeter. Insulating cap
ZC-B1M Surge counter does not need any auxiliary power supply

Performance
ZC-B1M Surge counter operates on lightning impulse current (8/20µs wave) more than 100A and can operate perfectly if the interval
of multiple lightning strokes is more than 0.2s.
Potential across the ZC-B1M Surge counter is less than 50V crest under normal operating conditions.
Residual voltage at 10kA(8/20µs wave) of the ZC-B1M Surge counter is less than 3 kV and has negligible effect on the protection level
of the lightning arrester.
Discharge current capability is 100kA (4/10µs wave) and 1000A (2ms rectangular wave)
