As a technology leader, ABB has played a leading role in the
development and production of surge arresters from the
beginning. The initial patents for the metal-oxide technology and
the direct molding of arresters in silicone form the foundation
for today’s surge arresters to cover all energy requirements
around the world. Basic research, continuous improvement and
active participation in international organizations, such as
IEC and Cigré, ensure that ABB will continue to lead the way
in the field of overvoltage protection in the future as well.
