INSTALLATION ATSHOCK Surge Protective Devices are to be installed in parallel with the Low Voltage supply line, connected to Phase and Ground (ATSHOCK L) or to Neutral and Ground (ATSHOCK N). One ATSHOCK L is needed for each line. The power should be disconnected during the installation of the SPD. ATSHOCK can be installed in combination with ATSUB or ATCOVER. In either case, both must be separated by at least 10 meter cable or, if this is not possible, by a decoupling inductor ATLINK, in order to achieve a correct coordination between them. Their installation is recommended in main switchgears, where the line enters the building and where direct lightning currents could penetrate.

Although transient over voltages have existed since the creation of electrical networks, the need for protection is nowadays much greater. This is due to advanced technology making electrical components ever smaller and more sensitive to electromagnetic disturbances.
Types of overvoltages
A special example is that of UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply). These elements assure the power supply of the equipments connected to it even when there is a cut in the electricity supply. Most of these equipments also have a current rectifier which enables a stable power supply within a 15% variation. However, because they are sophisticated equipment with microprocessor technology and ver y sensitive to over voltages, they can suffer serious damages when subjected to transient over voltages. Surge Protective Devices complement the mentioned protections. In general they do not activate with small deformations in the signal or network overloads. However, they respond in nanoseconds to voltage peaks and they are able to drive lightning current (main or secondary) to earth, safeguarding the connected equipment.
Consequences of overvoltages
The most typical transient overvoltages are caused by the operation of powerful machines. However, the most destructive are caused by atmospheric discharges. Surge effects range from simple brief work interruptions to the total destruction of sensitive equipment.
DISTURBANCE
Interruption of system operation, data loss and corruption, unexplainable computer failures, etc
DEGRADING
Transient overvoltages degrade, without user notice, electronic components and circuits, reducing equipment life and increasing the possibility of failures.
DAMAGES
Severe transient over voltages can damage components, circuit boards and can even burn or destroy the equipment as well as producing the start of a fire. They mainly affect electronic, computer and telecommunications systems.
All these effects imply the interruption in the normal working condition of computers and thus results in economic losses due to delays in productivity. More impor tantly, these effects can carr y risks to people which must be avoided at all cost according to the Health and Safety Laws: Minimum requirements of health and security used by installation workers and work teams. R.D. 1215/97. Annex II, point 12. Any installation or machine used for work purposes, and which could be reached by lightning, should be protected against its effects using adequate devices and measures..
SWITCHING OVERVOLTAGES
These surges are generated in electrical lines, mainly due to the following two reasons: Electrical switching of large machinery: Electrical motors are very inductive loads whose connection and disconnection can cause surges. There are other processes capable of producing surges, like the turning on/off of a welding arch and the connection and disconnection of power electronic devices. Operation and fault in power supply network: In the case of shor t-circuit at any point in the network, the circuit breakers will respond by opening and the following auto-reclosing, in the case of it being a temporary fault. Such faults can generate surges typical in the connection of inductive loads.
Mechanisms of propagation
The prevailing mechanism of switching overvoltages is conduction, because it starts in the very power supply networks. Its in atmospheric discharges where all kinds of different propagation methods can be observed. Therefore, we can differentiate between the following methods:
CONDUCTED OVERVOLTAGES
Lightning can strike aerial lines directly. Surges then propagate and reach the user, finally diverting to ground through the equipment, provoking failures. A common mistake is to think that hitting discharges in power distribution lines (Medium Voltage) dont reach those of Low Voltage because of the galvanic insulation provided by the existing transformer. However, this is not true due to the fact that the before mentioned insulation is effective for nominal frequencies in the network, while for the wave forms associated with lightning, the transformer produces little attenuation.
INDUCED OVERVOLTAGES
The electromagnetic field produced by electric discharges induces transient current in nearby conductors, entering then the structures and harming the equipment.
CAPACITIVE OVERVOLTAGES
There always exists a capacitive coupling, also called stray capacity, between every pair of conductors. Overvoltages due to capacitive coupling become more important as the voltage waveform velocity increases.
INTENSITY Long distance impact: up to 1kA Close impacts: up to some kA Direct impacts: up to tens of kA Can reach some kA Can reach tens of kA
INDUCED OVERVOLTAGES
Up to some kV between conductors which are not ground Up to tens of kV between ground and conductor Up to some kV between conductors which are not ground Up to some kV between ground and conductor
CAPACITIVE OVERVOLTAGES
The above table represents each mechanism, its transmission value typical for each corresponding over voltage and its associated current.
Conductive and inductive surges enter the building, damaging electric and electronic equipment and can even cause fires and personal injuries.
In this case, it is recommended to link all the grounds, including those of the lightning protection system in order to avoid overvoltages and larger flowing currents. In addition, when there are several buildings in the same complex, the risk will usually increase due to crossconnections.
In general, it is convenient to install surge protection at any line entering or leaving a building that connects or could connect in the future sensitive equipment.
Transient overvoltages could easily reach several kilovolts in a few microseconds. During this raise time, while the protector has not reacted, this increasing voltage reaches the connected equipment. Generally, the response time of the arresters varies between 20 and 100 nanoseconds. Surge arresters can be installed in series or parallel, but in all cases they must remain inactive under normal conditions. Once the overvoltage starts, the protector will start working, leading the lightning current to ground. Momentary interruptions should not be made, that is to say, the final user should not notice the SPD action. Sustained interruptions are not allowed: when the overvoltage has been absorbed, the protector should return to its inactive state without affecting the normal working of the line. In those cases where the components of the protector have suffered a bigger overvoltage than they can withstand, the failure mode will be open circuit thus avoiding the short-circuit of the line. Most of protectors are provided with a visual or remote warning which activates when the protector should be replaced.
No protector nowadays is able to both absorb high currents and leave harmless residual voltage pass through. Therefore a set of devices are required in order to achieve a good balance between current and voltage, minimising any further damages on the equipment. From the users point of view, this is the most important fact, the residual voltage should not represent a threat.
Regulations
APLICACIONES TECNOLOGICAS, S.A. has tested all its SPDs in official and independent laboratories successfully achieving all values described in their technical sheets and labels. The regulations of series 61643 of the International Electrotechnical Committee (IEC) define the requirements and implementation of surge protectors. Some of these regulations have already been adopted as European standards (EN). There are other related regulations, the most important one being the Lightning Protection Systems Regulation including its electromagnetical effects. Regulations for the installation of electrical boards should always be fulfilled. The tests carried out on the SPDs are principally based on regulation IEC 61643, although APLICACIONES TECNOLOGICAS products also comply with the requirements of UL1449. Lets say that UL 1449 is a security regulation. It is not a regulation on the working condition of the SPD, it does not test the current and voltage values stated on the protector, however, it does test its safety. On the other hand, IEC 61643 certifies both security and working conditions.
Secondary lightning effects test and switching elements, with wave 8/20s in order to determine Imax. Due to the different make up of the wave form tested, the tests with Iimp have a much higher energy than the tests with Imax and In.

wave 8/20s
Impulse current waves applied to the protectors against overvoltages in order to check its characteristics. The area of each curve in this graph shows the specific energy applied.
t (s)
During the tests, the SPDs are submitted to repeated current and voltage impulses, measuring the residual voltage. The established Level of Protection (Up) cannot be surpassed in any test. Residual voltage does not always increase with the current value: some critical values may exist for currents lower than the maximal. Therefore it is very important to apply stepped current impulses, over and below the nominal current, in order to assure the highest voltage the protector may let through. Thermic and mechanical tests are also performed.

Electrical codes
SPDs should meet every specific regulation of the lines where they are installed. In the case of power supply lines, SPDs should comply with each countr ys electrotechnical regulation (for example in Great Britain BS 7671 "Requirements for electrical installations" and in Spain RBT2002 "Low Voltage Electrotechnical Regulation"; this last regulation makes a special reference to overvoltage protection in instruction ITC-BT-23).
SPD selection
The most important parameters to take into account are: a. Where the area to be protected is located. b. Maximum residual voltage allowed. c. Additional parameters of the line. To protect any equipment correctly, it is necessary to know in detail all its characteristics.
Regulations describe three different types of SPD according to the area where they are located: Class I Protectors: Class I SPDs should be tested with 10/350 s lightning impulse wave, simulating the effects of direct lightning discharges. To be installed where lightning currents and electromagnetic ef fects are unattenuated. Class II Protectors: Class II SPDs should be tested with 8/20 s cur rent impulse wave, simulating lightning secondary effects. To be installed where lightning currents and electromagnetic effects are already attenuated. Class III Protectors: Class III SPDs should be tested with combination impulse wave but with low values, simulating ver y attenuated over voltages. Normally they are installed near the equipment and have low residual voltages.
One method of reducing electromagnetic fields is the shielding of structures, rooms and/or equipment. In case of buildings, the equipotential bonding of metallic objects achieves disturbance reductions. If this interconnection is carried out during the construction of the building, then later protection is more effective and less costly. In any case, all the lines entering or leaving a zone should be protected with the proper device in order to avoid surges.

It is imperative that the protector doesnt affect the working condition of the line and doesnt produce significant losses of signal.
SPD SELECTION
1.- Note the line characteristics in order to find out maximum voltage in continuous and/or alternate in each conductor. Select the SPDs providing: Uc > maximum working voltage of the line
Current that can reach the SPD 2.- Select the SPD type and its maximum current depending on the effects it should withstand: Direct lightning current: Lightning secondary effects: Attenuated surges:
Type of SPD Class I Class II Class III Residual Voltage (1,2/50s) < 4kV < 1,5kV < 1kV
Equipment to be protected 3.- Select the SPD residual voltage according to the equipment to be protected. For example, for power supply lines it is recommended: Very robust equipment (large motors, air conditioning, ): Non-sensitive or internally protected equipment: Very sensitive or non-protected equipment against electromagnetic disturbances:
SPD Coordination
Once the requirements of the protection have been defined, it will probably be the case that one commercial device does not meet the demanded requirements of discharge intensity and residual voltage. For this reason, the installation and coordination of several devices is needed. In general, the higher the current withstanding capacity the higher the residual voltage and therefore its level of protection. if Therefore, a proper protection requires coordinated SPDs, with several protection stages acting sequentially and being able, on one side, of withstanding all the lightning current and, on another side, of letting a residual voltage harmless for the existing or future installed equipment. If SPDs are connected to the same electric point, without any impedance separating them, then the fastest one will withstand the whole surge while the toughest SPD has no time to activate, If the overvoltage is very large, the SPD could be destroyed or damaged. Even if the surge would not harm the SPD, there is no sense in installing a robust protector, with a huge current withstanding capability, if it never acts. For two SPDs to be correctly coordinated, the length of the cable between them should be at least 10 metres. If this is not possible (for example, if both were in the same electric board), a decoupling inductor should be installed between them.
Aplicaciones Tecnolgicas, S.A. supplies complete cabinets where all stages are already installed and coordinated by a decoupling inductor, suitable for those installations where separation by cable is not achievable.
Protection stages
Usually, the first protection is a spark gap. Spark gaps typically remain completely open, with no flowing current, while signal is normal. Each one has its characteristic breakdown voltage (although it varies slightly with the wave form). When this voltage is surpassed, then the component becomes short-circuited, driving all the current to ground. When the high level voltage disappears, these components return to inactive status, that is, to be an open circuit. The element forming the second protection, tighter than the first one, is usually a varistor. Varistors are variable resistances. Their impedance is ver y high when voltage is normal, and it lowers in a non-linear way when voltage increases. In general, they are faster than gas discharge tubes but their disadvantage is that, while voltage is normal, their impedance is very high but still produces current leakage. The third protection barrier is normally Transient Voltage Suppressor Diodes, very fast elements, capable of letting very low residual voltages but unable to withstand currents over several amperes.
Equipment protected
Aplicaciones Tecnolgicas, S.A. Surge Protective Devices have been tested not only individually but also in coordination with other protectors of different stages. Many SPDs are formed by the combination of these elements or by several of them coordinated in a single device. Decoupling elements are normally resistances or inductors with very low impedances because, being in series with the line, the current flows through them continuously. If impedances were high, they would cause unnecessary losses and consumptions. Normally the problem of electrical consumptions is worse in power supply lines, where flowing current is of amperes. For data lines, the current flowing is of miliamperes, hence the consumption is not important. However, the working voltages of electronic components are usually very low thus a significative voltage drop at the decoupling impedance must be avoided, since it could cause disturbances in data transmissions.
YES NO
For power supply lines, dif ferent combinations of ATSHOCK, ATSUB and ATCOVER have been tested, using ATLINK devices as decoupling inductors, verifying their coordination and proper working even with lightning impulse waves (100kA, 10/350s). Concerning SPDs for telephone, data lines, etc., our protectors internally coordinate several protection stages.

When different protection stages are used, it is essential that SPDs are well coordinated when a surge occurs. Surge protection series for power supply lines are the following:
Within power supply surge suppression, Aplicaciones Tecnolgicas, S.A. supplies several SPD series depending on the intensity of the expected discharge current in the area to be protected and on the sensitivity of the protected equipment.
ATSHOCK series
ATSHIELD series
They combine very robust elements with clampling components in order to achieve a large absorption capacity of the direct lightning strike together with a low residual voltage.
ATSUB series
Can withstand tens of kiloamperes and reduce the overvoltage significantly to levels that are not harmful to the equipment.
ATCOVER series
Robust and very complete, protects all phases quickly and efficiently, leaving a low residual voltage.
ATSOUND series
Acoustic signalling module, complementing the remote warning of ATSUB and ATCOVER series.
ATLINK series
For the coordination of protection stages.
ATCOMPACT series
Cabinet for multipolar protection made up of single-polar elements.
ATBARRIER series
Protected coordinated cabinet.
LINE
ATSHOCK series
NEUTRAL
Can withstand direct lightning currents (modelized under 100kA, waveshape 10/350s), leaving a residual voltage of a few kilovolts. They consist of encapsulated spark gaps, thus no plasma arcs are produced outside the casing. They are installed in points likely to directly receive large lightning discharges. They should always be used in coordination with ATSUB and/or ATCOVER SPD series as their residual voltage all alone is still harmful to the connected equipment. They are single-pole protectors (protect only one phase or the neutral depending on the earth) and can be installed in all types of supply systems.
EARTH LINE
ATSHIELD Series
Protectors which bring together both, the quick response time of the zinc-oxide varistors together with the shunt capacity of spark gaps. They are designed and tested as a Class I protector, meaning that they can withstand tens of kiloamperes of direct atmospheric discharge intensity (wave 10/350s), leaving a non harmful amount of residual voltage to the connected equipment. They are single-pole protectors (protect only one phase or neutral depending on the earth) and can be installed in all types of supply systems. They have a bright warning light to detect any possible failure in its proper working.
NEUTRAL
ATSUB Series
Made up of zinc oxide varistors and have a visual alarm when the SPD is out of service. They are single-pole SPDs (they protect one phase or neutral) and can be installed in all types of supply systems. ATSUB protectors can withstand tens of kiloamperes for a 8/20s (waveform simulating lightning secondary effects) and they reduce surges to harmless levels for the protected equipment.
EARTH These characteristics, together with its small size and low cost, make them the most suitable SPDs for installation in secondary boards and close to the equipment. They can be combined with other ATSUB, ATSHOCK (which would receive the main lightning current) and with ATCOVER protectors, which leave a lower residual voltage. In any case, there must be 10 metres of cable or ATLINK devices for a proper coordination between protection stages.
There are also versions with pluggable modules (ATSUB-P) for a quick substitution in case of repeated over voltages and versions with remote warning (ATSUB-PR).
ATCOVER Series
ATCOVER SPD series combine in a single device, protection in common mode (to earth) and differential mode (between lines). They can withstand currents up to 30kA 8/20s, leaving ver y low residual voltages, completely harmless to the connected equipment. They have an internal combination of varistors and gas discharge tubes that avoid current leakage while the line is working under normal conditions. They are provided with a visual alarm and floating changeover contact output for remote control thus allowing the monitoring of its proper working. They should be installed at supply distribution systems with neutral. Three phase and single-phase versions are available for different network voltages. They can be installed in combination with other SPDs from ATSHOCK and ATSUB Series, always linked by at least 10 meters of cable or decoupling inductor as ATLINK.
EARTH
REMOTE CONTROL
One single ATCOVER protects three phases and neutral in both common and differential modes.
ATSOUND Series
Devices which complement the above mentioned protectors, contributing to its maintenance and control. Consists of an additional module for DIN rail of small dimensions designed specifically to create an audible warning of the fault in any of the inputs. These signals come from Aplicaciones Tecnolgicas S.A.s protectors, connected to the module.
LINE NEUTRAL
EARTH
ATLINK Series
ATLINK decoupling inductors are installed in series with the line thus it shall always be checked that the current flowing through it is not higher than the installed ATLINK rated current.
LINE NEUTRAL
EARTH
Power supply networks are built following different wiring systems, defined in Low Voltage codes. It is necessar y to know this data of the line to be protected in order to determine the surge protection installation. Systems are named using a letter code indicating the situation of the supply with respect to the ear thing (T indicates direct connection, I means isolation, N connection to neutral). The main supply systems are the following:
TN system
TN systems have one point of the supply, generally the neutral, directly connected to earth. The exposed-conductive-part of receivers installations is connected to that point by protective conductors. There are several TN distribution systems depending on the relative arrangement of the neutral conductor and the protective earth (PE) conductor.
Fuses (2)
Line protections
TN-S system
Fuses (2)
When the protective earth (PE) and the neutral are combined in the same conductor along the whole system (TN-C systems) then surge protection is complete just by installing SPDs between each phase and the mentioned common neutral/earth conductor. However, if neutral and ear th are two different conductors (TN-S systems), then SPDs should also be installed between neutral and ear th.
Line protections
TT system
TT system
TT Systems have one point of the supply, generally the neutral, directly connected to earth. The exposed-conductive-part of receivers installations is connected to a separate ground.
Fuses (2)
E In order to protect these systems against transient overvoltages, it is necessary to place at least some SPDs between each phase and ground, and between neutral and ground. In addition, it is recommended to protect each phase and neutral. However, it is not convenient to have only phase-neutral plus neutral-ground protection since a surge produced at one phase would transmit to the whole installation through the neutral conductor.

IT Systems have no direct connection between one point of the supply and the ground, but the exposed-conductive-par t of receivers installations is directly connected to ground. In this type of systems, the neutral is not recommended to be distributed. However, surge protection needs a common point where the earth terminals of the SPDs must be connected, and this common point will be connected to earth through a SPD for neutral (ATSHOCK-N, ATSUB-N).
Fuses (2)
Notes:
The three ATSUB that are installed between phases and neutral at TT systems are recommendable, although the lines are also protected without them. Specified fuses for each SPD should be used in cases where the same or lower protection is not provided in the upstream power supply. ATLINK devices are not necessary if there are at least 10 meters cable between the protectors. For an efficient protection, it is convenient that all the earthing systems of the structure are bonded together.
Other combinations
All ATSUB, including ATSUB N, can be substituted by a single ATCOVER380T ATSHOCK can be substituted by ATSUB40 or ATSUB60, although then the withstood current will be lower. If only the first stage protection is installed, then the residual voltage would be too high, possibly damaging the equipment. Single protection (ATSUB or ATCOVER) can be installed if lightning currents reaching the installation are not expected to be higher than those the SPD can withstand, and also if no transients are expected to be generated indoor. Further protection stages may be installed, where the surge will arrive more attenuated. They should be able to reduce transient overvoltages to very low levels (for example, ATCOVER series).
Coarse protection according to scaled protection recommended in Low Voltage Regulation (RBT2002 ITC23). Class I Protector according to IEC61643-1 and EN61643-11. For equipment of categories III and IV according to RBT2002. Encapsulated, non-exhausting creepage discharge spark gap. Suitable for TT, TN-C and TN-S systems. Coordinable with other SPDs such as ATSUB and ATCOVER. Optimum protection level. Quick response. Robust connectors, suitable for all type of connection. Single-pole protection. Withstands direct lightning strike current (10/350s wave), over 100kA. High energy diverting capability. Limits supply following currents. AT83 Series SPDs have been tested in official and independent laboratories, obtaining their characteristics according to relevant standards (shown in the table).
LINE NEUTRAL
EARTH
INSTALLATION ATSHOCK Surge Protective Devices are to be installed in parallel with the Low Voltage supply line, connected to Phase and Ground (ATSHOCK L) or to Neutral and Ground (ATSHOCK N). One ATSHOCK L is needed for each line. The power should be disconnected during the installation of the SPD. ATSHOCK can be installed in combination with ATSUB or ATCOVER. In either case, both must be separated by at least 10 meter cable or, if this is not possible, by a decoupling inductor ATLINK, in order to achieve a correct coordination between them. Their installation is recommended in main switchgears, where the line enters the building and where direct lightning currents could penetrate.
Earth connection is a must. Earthing in all the installation must be bonded either directly or by a spark gap and resistance should be lower than 10. If the indications of this datasheet are not fulfilled during the use or installation of the SPDs, the protection assured by this device could be endangered.

INSTALLATION They are installed in parallel to the Low Voltage line, with connections to the line to be protected to either the neutral and/or ground. The power should be disconnected during the installation of the SPD. When ATSUB are installed as middle protection, they must be separated by at least 10 meter cable or, if this is not possible, by a decoupling inductor ATLINK, in order to achieve a correct coordination between them. Their installation is recommended in places where impor tant over voltages can occur and when lines are connected to ver y sensitive equipment that cannot withstand big overvoltages.
Earth connection is a must. Earthing in all the installation must be bonded either directly or by a spark gap and resistance should be lower than 10. If the indications of this datasheet are not fulfilled during the use or installation of the SPDs, the protection assured by this device could be endangered.

This is specially suggested in systems where a high degree of safety and confidence is requested. It works gathering wired signals from the different SPD that are meant to be monitored and as a consequence of every failure of them, an alarm signal will be activated by mean of warning ring tones. They are fully compatible devices with alls SPDs provided with remote control signal previously mentioned (ATSUBs and ATCOVERs). Several remote control terminals can be wired in series and inserted into the ATSOUND thus giving an alarm if any SPD is harmed. The warning lights and mechanical warnings allow to determine what SPD needs to be replaced in every particular case. A tighter protection stage has been installed in the same module in order to prevent residual dangerous overvoltages after ATSUB and ATCOVER from altering the proper way of working.
INSTALLATION Place ATSOUND on the DIN rail, the closest to SPDs that are to be monitored and then proceed to the remote signal wiring for signals marked as 1, 2, power supply (for connections L and N) and ground. Earth connection is a must. Earthing in all the installation must be bonded either directly or by a spark gap and resistance should be lower than 10.

Telephone lines connect not only phone terminals but also more important and sensitive equipment, such as faxes and modems, inside and outside computers. Furthermore, one of the consequences of the global use of Internet is that many machines (PLCs, electrical house-hold, etc.) activate through the telephone line. Another very common trend is to design all kind of devices for remote distance controlling. This process often means the multiplication of cross-connections and wiring between devices that are placed in separated buildings or with different grounding. The risk of surges damaging the equipment increases then considerably, causing important economic losses not only due to the equipment damage but also the delay or cancellation of the processes and the services they should supply. Protecting communication lines against surges can solve all these problems. Data and telephone lines need a wide previous study of the systems to be protected. Telecommunications is a field in constant evolution, where high precision is required and many different procedures exist. Each transmission protocol has its own working voltage, type of connection, pin-out, etc. All these data should be well known before designing a surge protection strategy that, firstly, does not affect the user and, secondly, is ef ficient against transient overvoltages.
Aplicaciones Tecnolgicas, S.A. supplies specific data and telephone SPDs for the most common working conditions. Besides, being manufacturers, we can develop new devices for the new telecommunication types that appear in the market. Our SPDs are usually made of screwed terminals instead of RJ11 ones because they withstand higher currents.

ATFREQ Series
ATFREQ Surge Protective Devices protect the signal cable deriving the induced and conducted surges to the ground, thus avoiding damages to the communication and TV equipment and to the connected devices (DVD, video, decoders, home cinema sets, etc.) Optimum coupling with imperceptible losses. Small attenuation in the signal even for very high frequencies. Short response times. Discharge takes place in an internal encapsulated element, without external flashes. Small size. Specific connectors for each application.
INSTALLATION ATFREQ SPDs are to be inserted in series with the aerial signal cable. It is convenient to install it as close as possible to the equipment to be protected. Each protector is provided with two coaxial connectors for an easy insertion and one earthing terminal. We supply SPDs provided with the most widely employed connectors (BNC, UHF, N, F) and male/female adaptors for direct insertion in any connection. It is impor tant to point out that ATFREQ protects the signal coaxial cable coming from the aerial, not the power supply. Power supply should be protected using specific SPDs such as ATSUB, ATSHIELD, ATCOVER, ATSHOCK or ATVOLT. Connection to earth is carried out using a M5 screw placed at the SPD side. It must be as straight as possible, using a proper terminal and cable. Earth connection is a must. Earthing in all the installation must be bonded either directly or by a spark gap and resistance should be lower than 10. If the indications of this datasheet are not fulfilled during the use or installation of the SPDs, the protection assured by this device could be endangered.

Technical glossary
10/350s current impulse Current impulse, 10s of front time and 350s to half-time value. Thus the direct effects of the lightning strike are simulated. 8/20s current impulse Current impulse, 8s of front time and 20s to half-time value. Thus the secondary effects of the lightning strike are simulated. 1,2/50 voltage impulse A voltage impulse with a virtual front time (from 10% to 90% of the peak value) of 1,2s and a time to halfvalue of 50s. It is used for classification of SPDs class I and II. Backup overcurrent protection An overcurrent device (fuse or circuit breaker), which is a part of the electrical installation, located upstream the SPD to avoid overheating and destruction if SPD is not able to interrupt the sustained short-circuit current. Charge Q Equals the time integral of the discharge current; expressed in As.
Follow current (If) Current supplied by the electrical power system and flowing through the SPD after a discharge current impulse; it is expressed in kARMS. Follow (Up) current extinguishing capability When Spark Gaps or Gas Discharge Tubes ignite, there is a dielectric breakdown, an ignition arc and the resulting short circuit between the two protected conductors. When working voltage conditions return, the referred short circuit and the arc must disappear. The follow up current extinguishing capability refers to the current that the SPD is capable of extinguishing by itself in order to come back to working isolation conditions. Impulse current (Iimp) Maximum peak value of a 10/350s current wave with a determined charge and energy, applied to the protector which diverts it to ground safely. Insertion loss At a given frequency, the insertion loss of a connected SPD is defined as the ratio of voltages appearing across the mains immediately beyond the point of insertion before and after the insertion of the SPD. This result is expressed in decibels (dB). Level of protection (Up) Parameter that characterises the performance of the SPD in limiting the voltage across its terminals and that is chosen from a chart of values. This value, in volts, should not be surpassed by any of the residual voltage values measured during the tests, including current impulses and 1,2/50s voltage tests. Maximum continuous operating voltage (Uc) Maximum DC or rms voltage that can be continuously applied to the SPD without causing its activation.
Combination type SPD An SPD that incorporates both voltage switching type components and voltage limiting type components. May exhibit voltage switching behaviour, voltage limiting behaviour or a combination of both depending on the characteristics of the applied voltage. Combination wave The combination wave is delivered by a generator that applies a 1,2/50s voltage impulse open circuit, and 8/20s current impulse short circuit. The voltage parameters, current and waveform produced are determined by the generator and the impedance of the protector.
Maximum discharge current (Imax) for class test II Maximum peak value with wave 8/20s which has been applied to the protector, which has been diverted in a safe way to ground. Methods of protection An SPD can be connected Line to Line, Line to Ground, Line to Neutral, Neutral to Ground or a combination of them all. These paths are referred as methods of protection. Nominal current (IN) RMS value of the flowing current in a line under working conditions in order to have a proper SPD working. Nominal discharge current (In) Peak value of a 8/20s current wave that the SPD can withstand several times. Nominal voltage (Un) It is the DC or rms AC voltage of the line under normal conditions so that the SPD works correctly. Response time (tr): Parameter that characterizes the rapidity of the SPD activation. It can vary with different slopes of the applied waveshape, although in general the response time for the varistor is considered to be 25ns, while spark gap is 100ns. Sparkover voltage of a voltage switching SPD Maximum voltage value before disruptive discharge between the electrodes of the gap of a SPD (empty space between terminals). It is used for classification of the SPD class I and II by testing the impulse with waveshape 1,2/50s. SPD disconnector A device which will disconnect the SPD from the system in the event of failure. It is used to avoid a sustained fault in the system and to give a visible indication of the protectors fault. Some SPDs are fitted with floating changeover contact for remote signalling.
Specific energy W/R for Class I The energy dissipated by the impulse current Iimp in a unit resistance. This is equal to the power integral between the equivalent resistance during the discharge. Expressed in kJ/ et en kA2s.
Voltage limiting type SPD An SPD that has a high impedance when no surge is present, but will continuously reduce it with increased surge current and voltage; typical examples of components used as nonlinear devices are varistors and suppressor diodes. Voltage switching type SPD An SPD that has a high impedance when no surge is present, but can have a sudden change in impedance to a low value in response to a voltage surge in the line it protects. Typical examples are spark gaps, gas tubes, thyristors and triacs. Working temperature () Temperature range where the SPD can be used.
Surge Protective Device (SPD) A device intended to limit transient overvoltages and divert surge currents. It contains at least one nonlinear component. There are one-port SPDs which are connected in parallel or two-port SPDs which have specific series impedance inserted between the terminals. They are also referred as arresters or just protectors. In this catalogue, SPD, arresters and protectors mean the same thing. Surge / Transient overvoltage A surge is a transient overvoltage propagating along a line characterized by a rapid increase followed by a slower decrease. Transient overvoltages are every rising in the voltage wave over nominal conditions for a given range of time. In this catalogue, both surge and transient overvoltages or just overvoltages are used in the same sense, that of rapid increase and lower decrease. Thermal stability An SPD is thermally stable if after the operating duty test, where it is connected to maximum continuous operating voltage and at specified ambient temperature conditions, the temperature begins to decrease with time. It is monitored during 30 minutes, the active power dissipation must show constant decline for the last 15 minutes.
