General Data Sheet - ZORC 2
ZORC™ is a unique high frequency transient over voltage surge suppressor for the protection of motors,transformers and
generators from steep wave-front, short rise-time, high magnitude, spikes, surges and other transient voltages, generated by
switching and certain other sources.
The protective characteristics of ZORC™ provide comprehensive insulation co-ordination with both the CIGRë and IEEE
motor impulse voltage withstand characteristics at all practical surge magnitudes and rise times.

Testing
Parameter
Each ZORC™ surge suppressor is routine tested prior to dispatch.
Manufacturing tests
Test certificates are available.
· Check for obvious physical damage (broken bushing, leaking impregnate,
bulging tank, etc.)
· Measure the capacitance from each phase to earth and check that it is
within 10% of nominal (0.1 or 0.2µF, as stamped on t he ZORC™ rating
plate). Use a hand-held capacitance meter or apply a known low voltage
Field tests (e.g. 230V ac) between each phase and earth,measure the phase
currents, and calculate the capacitance.
· With the ZORC™ line connections bonded together, and using a dc cable
test set, test between line and earth for 10 seconds. C onfirm there are no
dielectric breakdowns or audible discharges.
Additional Considerations
Parameter
A ZORC™ is maintenance-free, requiring only periodic cleaning of bushings
in contaminated areas.
· Equipment should be inspected periodically for failure or leaks. This check
can be made after de-energising and following “Safety Instruction, Shock
Maintenance Hazard” detailed elsewhere in this document.
· The use of hoses in the vicinity of an ‘open’ ZORC ™ installation must be
avoided.
· Testing can be carried out once a year.

HVIS – General Specifications
Application
HVIS sheet will cover almost any size or shape or bus-bar joint, making it ideal for insulating bus-bar tees, elbows and other
connections where tubing and tape cannot be used.
®
This product can be applied to the ZORC bushing terminals to improve the overall BIL component.
Clearance reduction
The table below indicates the clearance reductions which are derived from BIL, AC withstand, DC withstand and discharge
extinction tests. These clearances should not be adopted without testing by the user. Sharp electrodes and unusual
geometries may require wider clearances.
