Today, tests of these products can also be carried out by simulating a lightning strike in this context.\r\n\r\nLightning Strike Wave Types:<\/strong>\r\n\r\nThe lightning strike can be studied in two different wavelengths.\r\n\r\n \t- Direct Lightning Strike 10 \/ 350\u03bcs:<\/strong><\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\nImpulse currents in a waveform of 10\/350 \u03bcs occur in direct lightning strikes. This pulse rapid voltage increase releases great power with a large current pulse.\r\n\r\nToday, External Lightning Protection System materials and Type 1 \/ Class I type Surge Arrester circuit elements are tested according to these criteria according to the standards.\r\n
\r\n \t- Lightning Strike and Switching Voltages on a Remote Area 8 \/ 20\u03bcs:<\/strong><\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\nLightning strikes at a distant location and impulse currents with switching voltages 8\/20 \u03bcs waveform occur.\r\n\r\nThe energy content of this pulse is significantly lower than the lightning test current\u2019s pulse current wave of 10\/350 \u03bcs. Type 2 \/ Class II and Type 3 \/ Class III type Surge Protector (Surge Arrester) circuit elements are tested according to these criteria according to the standards.\r\n\r\nStandards<\/strong>\r\n\r\nSome frequently listed standards include:\r\n
\r\n \t- IEC 61643-11 Low-voltage surge protective devices \u2013 Part 11: Surge protective devices connected to low-voltage power systems \u2013 Requirements and test methods (replaces IEC 61643-1)<\/li>\r\n \t

- Underwriters Laboratories (UL) 1449.<\/li>\r\n \t
- AS\/NZS 1768<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nEach standard defines different protector characteristics, test vectors, or operational purpose.\r\n\r\nEN 62305 and ANSI\/IEEE C62.xx define what spikes a protector might be expected to divert. EN 61643-11 and 61643-21 specify both the product\u2019s performance and safety requirements. In contrast, the IEC only writes standards and does not certify any particular product as meeting those standards. IEC Standards are used by members of the CB Scheme of international agreements to test and certify products for safety compliance.\r\n\r\nIn addition, the following standards are not standards for standalone surge protectors, but are instead meant for testing surge immunity in electrical and electronic equipment as a whole. Thus, they\u2019re frequently used in the design and test of surge protection circuitry.\r\n

- Distributes the energy to the other live conductors, in differential mode.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nThe three types of SPD<\/strong>\r\n\r\nType 1 SPD<\/strong>\r\n\r\nThe Type 1 SPD is recommended in the specific case of service-sector and industrial buildings, protected by a lightning protection system or a meshed cage.\r\n\r\nIt protects electrical installations against direct lightning strokes. It can discharge the back-current from lightning spreading from the earth conductor to the network conductors.\r\n\r\nType 1 SPD is characterized by a 10\/350 \u00b5s current wave.\r\n\r\nType 2 SPD<\/strong>\r\n\r\nThe Type 2 SPD is the main protection system for all low voltage electrical installations. Installed in each electrical switchboard, it prevents the spread of overvoltage in the electrical installations and protects the loads.\r\n\r\nType 2 SPD is characterized by an 8\/20 \u00b5s current wave.\r\n\r\nType 3 SPD<\/strong>\r\n\r\nThese SPDs have a low discharge capacity. They must therefore mandatorily be installed as a supplement to Type 2 SPD and in the vicinity of sensitive loads.\r\n\r\nType 3 SPD is characterized by a combination of voltage waves (1.2\/50 \u03bcs) and current waves (8\/20 \u03bcs).\r\n\r\nSPD normative definition<\/strong>\r\n\r\nFig. J18 \u2013 SPD standard definition\r\n
