OPERATION
For maximum effectiveness, the protector should be installed directly after
the AC line on/off switch and fuse. This will protect the electronics from the
AC line switch arcing and the severe transients caused by a fuse clearing.
Some heat is produced when operating at full rated current load, and heat
sinking may be required to maintain case temperatures below 85
°C. The
case temperature is measured at the center of the mounting surface. The
unit should not be mounted to a low combusting temperature material such
as wood.
High energy transients will cause a large circulating current in the AC input
line (2,500A is possible). To prevent electromagnetic coupling, the AC line
on the input side of the protector must be dressed away from other wiring
and magnetic shielding may be required. In addition, the electrical service
must be connected to a low impedance earth ground.
ARRESTER DEFINITIONS
Clamping Voltage: The clamping voltage of an arrestor is the voltage
that appears across its terminals during conduction of a transient current.
Standard Wave: The waveshape of a surge current or voltage is
designated by a combination of two numbers. The first number is for the
time of the wave front expressed in microseconds from zero to the peak of
the wave. The second number is for the time of the wavetail also expressed
in microseconds from zero to the instant that the wavetail reaches one-
half of the crest or peak value. Example, 8/20
s wave.
Transient Current: The transient current of an arrestor is the peak surge
current which flows through the arrester when voltage clamping occurs.
