Comparison of SM and SL Surge Arresters for Energy Levels (kJ/kV)

[Virtual Presenter] Good morning everyone. Today I will be discussing the comparison of SM and SL Surge Arresters for Energy Levels (kJ/kV) and why SM is the better option. I aim to provide a concise overview of the advantages SM surge arresters have over SL surge arresters in terms of energy handling capabilities and operational life. Let's begin..

[Audio] It is necessary to compare SM and SL surge arresters and their ability to handle energy levels in kilo joules per kilovolt. SM and SL are two distinct types of surge arresters typically employed for safeguarding electrical apparatus from over-voltage conditions. To gain an understanding of how they compare and which of the two performs better it is necessary to begin the comparison..

[Audio] SM Surge Arrester offers superior energy handling capacity of 7 kilojoules per kilovolt and has a voltage rating of 3-240 kilovolts. Its response time is immensely faster than SL Surge Arrester at 0.8 milliseconds which is half the time. Furthermore it has a longer lifespan than SL Surge Arrester at 20 years instead of 15 years. All of these features makes this Surge Arrester a great selection to fulfill the energy needs..

[Audio] The chart clearly demonstrates that SM surge arresters have significantly higher energy handling capability than SL surge arresters with up to 70% more energy capacity. This improved performance as well as their longevity make them the ideal choice for protection solutions and applications that require energy-intensive protection..

[Audio] SM surge arresters offer a considerable improvement in electrical protection when compared to SL surge arresters. With SM surge arresters the benefits include energy absorption capacity of up to 7 kJ/kV a reaction time of 0.5 milliseconds a lifespan span of 20 years and better overall performance and dependability. Thus SM surge arresters are the superior option for the future..

[Audio] SM surge arresters offer superior energy handling capabilities faster response times longer operational life and for applications requiring high energy absorption are the better choice. This presentation has demonstrated this. Appreciate your attention to this. Thank you..
