Metal Oxide Varistor Elbow (M.O.V.E.)
Surge Arrester 235-65
GENERAL
The M.O.V.E. Surge Arrester combines
metal (zinc) oxide varistor technology in
a premolded rubber elbow to provide
overvoltage system protection in an
insulated, fully shielded, submersible,
deadfront device.
The arrester housing interface
conforms to IEEE Std 386™ standard –
Separable Insulated Connector
Systems. The arrester housing is
molded of EPDM insulating rubber,
which provides deadfront safety in a
small, clampstick operable unit.
M.O.V.E. Arresters are used on
underground systems in pad-mounted
transformer and entry cabinets, vaults,
switching enclosures and other
installations to provide shielded
deadfront arrester protection. They are
designed for use with 200 A loadbreak
interfaces that conform to IEEE Std
386™ standard to limit overvoltages to
acceptable levels, protect equipment
and extend cable life.

The rubber body is constructed of high
quality precision molded peroxide-cured

materials. Figure 1.
