44、d for Test Methods and Performance of Low-V oltage (1000 V rms or Less) Surge Protective Devices Used on Secondary Distribution Systems (Between the Transformer Low-V oltage Terminals and the Line Side of the Service Equipment). Secondary arresters have been used since 1940 to protect the secondary
45、winding of distribution transformers, kilowatt-hour meters, service entrance equipment, and power equipment loads downstream from breakdown of insulation during lightning strikes and switching surges. Performance criteria for secondary arresters were included in standards for performance of high-vol
46、tage arresters in IEEE Std C62.1-1989 and IEEE Std C62.11-1993. However, IEEE Std C62.1-1989 is no longer in publication and IEEE Std C62.11-1993 has been updated and secondary arresters dropped from its scope. With the proliferation of electronic equipment installed inside buildings, the emphasis h
47、as shifted away from protection of insulation of transformer windings and wiring to protection of vulnerable downstream electronic equipment. Due to increased sensitivity of downstream equipment to surges, the requirements for secondary arresters have necessarily become more stringent. The standards developers have attempted, as far as reasonable and possible, to harmonize with relevant domestic and international standards.
