3、fications for Surge-Protective Devices (SPDs) for Use on the Load Side of the Service Equipment in Low-Voltage (1000 V and Less) AC Power Circuits. The purpose of this standard is to provide users, independent laboratories, and manufacturers with a test specification applicable to SPDs intended for
4、limiting transient overvoltages that can appear on alternating current (ac) power circuits of 1000 V (root mean squared rms) or less. The standard contains test specifications that allow the user to compare various SPDs. It is one of several documents based in part on IEEE Std C62.41.2TM-2002athat c
5、haracterizes the surge environment to which low-voltage ac power circuits are exposed. The surge tests described herein are not intended to duplicate lightning or other naturally occurring transients specifically; rather, they provide a method of evaluation and comparison of SPDs. The surge tests in
6、cluded in this standard have been time and application proven to provide a good and fair evaluation of SPDs. The interest in low-voltage ac SPDs has grown with the trend to protect sophisticated electrical and electronic equipment that is exposed and susceptible to surges from the environment and ge
7、nerated within the electrical system itself. This standard provides test methods for SPDs. This test specification has evolved from its original form, IEEE Std C62.62-2000, in that the title and scope have changed. The new title and scope limit the application of this document to SPDs intended for i
8、nstallation on the load side of the service equipment. IEEE Std C62.34TMB6bcovers test specifications for SPDs intended for installation on the line side of the service equipment (referred to as Type 1 SPDs by other standards). Furthermore, the following table summarizes a comparison of tests from t

14、Operational Voltage Test (Informative Annex) Grounding Continuity Test (Informative Annex) Leakage Current Test (Informative Annex) Although a number of the tests from the previous revision also appear in this revision, many have been modified. Another important revision is the formatting of the tes
15、t specifications to include the rationale, purpose, test procedure and setup, and expected results. Annex A (informative) describes additional tests that may be used to establish particular application requirements but are not a requirement of this document and provides supplemental information rega
16、rding the subject of SPDs. Recently, new terminology has been introduced to describe SPDsin particular, the SPD “Type.” This terminology is included and defined in this publication. To provide clarification to the user of this document, Type 1 SPDs (generally used for the line side of the service eq
17、uipmentseemingly out of the scope of this document) are included. The rationale for inclusion is that Type 1 SPDs are also permitted to be used on the load side of the service equipment (within the scope of this document) as well as the line side. Directly correlating the ANSI/UL 1449-2006 B2 SPD Ty
18、pes to the location categories as described in IEEE Std C62.41.2-2002 is sometimes complicated due to the overlap of the boundaries of the location categories. The illustration of the IEEE Location Categories Concept is included in A.15 for reference. Generally, Type 1 SPDs are intended for use in C
19、ategory C locations; however, application of Type 1 SPDs is not limited to the Category C location. They may also be used on the load side of the service equipment, which includes Category B and Category A. Furthermore, Type 2 SPDs are intended for the load side of the service equipment but can have
20、 the same ratings as a Type 1 SPD. The fuzzy boundary between Category C and Category B overlaps at the service equipment; therefore, Type 2 SPDs may be considered for both Category C and Category B. Type 3 SPDs are generally expected to be used in Category A locations. However, because Type 3 SPDs
21、are direct plug-in or cord-connected SPDs for use with convenience outlets, they may be located in the Category C/Category B boundary (a convenience outlet located close to the service equipment), and the corresponding tests for those locations may be considered. Type 4 SPDs may be intended as Type
22、1 SPDs, Type 2 SPDs, or Type 3 SPDs and must be considered based on their intended application. vi Copyright 2011 IEEE. All rights reserved. From Clause 1 of IEEE Std C62.41.2-2002: There are no specific models that are representative of all surge environments; the complexities of the real world nee
23、d to be simplified to produce a manageable set of standard surge tests. To this end, a surge environment classification location categories scheme is presented. This classification provides a practical basis for the selection of waveforms and amplitudes of surge voltages and surge currents that may
24、be applied to evaluate the surge withstand capability of equipment SPDs, in this case connected to these power circuits. It is most important to recognize that proper coordination of equipment capability and environment characteristics is required: each environment and the equipment to be protected
25、have to be characterized and the two reconciled. WARNING Surge testing of electrical or electronic equipment presents potentially hazardous situations for both personnel and equipment. The surge test equipment can generate potentially lethal voltage surges. Furthermore, a catastrophic failure of the
26、 EUT might result in a fire or explosion. Only qualified personnel should perform the tests, with safety precautions enforced according to all national codes as well as the applicable safety directives and prescriptions of the organization where the tests are performed. Testing should not be perform
27、ed unattended. More specific aspects of safety precautions are discussed in 5.1. Notice to users Laws and regulations Users of these documents should consult all applicable laws and regulations.
