36 KV Surge Arrester

36 KV Surge Arresters are critical for protecting high-voltage power systems from overvoltage transients caused by lightning and internal switching events. At Star Freight & Trading FZC LLC, we provide premium-quality 36 KV surge protection devices tailored for substations, transformers, and high-voltage transmission infrastructure.

Our surge arresters utilize advanced metal oxide varistor (MOV) technology to quickly respond to voltage spikes and safely channel excess energy to the ground. This prevents insulation breakdown, equipment damage, and system failures in your high-voltage network.

Built to meet IEC and ANSI standards, these arresters are ideal for outdoor and indoor installations and can withstand severe weather, contamination, and mechanical stress. We offer both polymer-housed and porcelain-housed options, delivering excellent performance, high energy absorption capacity, and low residual voltage characteristics.

Applications include utility substations, renewable energy projects, oil & gas infrastructure, and large-scale industrial facilities operating at or around 36 kV. Our arresters are easy to install, maintenance-friendly, and engineered for long operational life, providing dependable protection under extreme conditions.

By choosing Star Freight & Trading FZC LLC, you ensure your electrical systems are safeguarded with surge protection solutions that are robust, efficient, and backed by technical expertise.
