HOW DO YOU PROTECT YOUR POWER?
Employing an entire facility protection strategy will safeguard the electrical system against most transients. Multi-stage protection
involves clamping the initial high energy surge, ltering any remaining noise or transients to the protected sensitive equipment and
nally, protecting the data/signal lines entering or leaving the control panel or the factory oor. This coordination of devices provides
the lowest possible let through voltage to the equipment.

SURGE PROTECTION, FILTERING, DATA/SIGNAL LINE PROTECTION
SURGE PROTECTION • First Line of Defense in Limiting High-Impulse Transients
High-energy transients either externally or internally generated
pose an immediate threat to the reliability and performance of your
sensitive electronic equipment. SolaHD recommends placing highenergy Surge Protective Devices (SPDs) on key panels throughout
your facility. Within your facility, motors, inductive loads and various
equipment load switching can cause damage or costly downtime.
Our surge protective devices focus on limiting high-voltage spikes to
a level that is acceptable to most electronic equipment. Plus, they’re
a great rst line of defense, using components that are placed in
parallel with the line and serve as clamping mechanisms for highenergy impulses. Protection at this level is referred to in the industry
as Sine Wave Tracking or electronic grade. Surge Protective Devices
are typically installed at service entrances and on larger distribution
panels.

Low-energy transients and high-frequency noise are the primary causes
for system disruption and long-term degradation of microprocessorbased equipment within your facility. For more than 30 years, our Active
Tracking Filters have proven to be the most eective solution in critical
equipment protection within harsh industrial environments. Active
Tracking Filters are built upon a unique multi-stage hybrid design.
is design creates a foundation for a family of products that attenuate
impulses that would normally go untouched by standard, parallel
clamping devices.
Changing technology and dependence on total automation processes
within modern facilities create a critical need for clean AC power at
the equipment level. Active Tracking Filters are a perfect solution for
your microprocessor-based products, including industrial PLCs, OEM
applications and motion control systems.

DATA/SIGNAL LINE SURGE PROTECTION • Designed to Protect Sensitive Instrumentation
e rapid development of automated controls, telecommunications and
re/alarm/security systems make it imperative to have properly
coordinated low-voltage surge protection. Modern networked industrial
facilities require error-free transmission of information for maximum
productivity and integrity of data, but these areas are often overlooked
when it comes to power protection.
e need to protect all susceptible low-voltage cable routes entering a
facility and at key points within the building is as critical as protecting
the equipment from high-energy impulses. e importance of protecting
at this level grows as your facility’s reliance on sensitive instrumentation,
networked automation, and uncorrupted data transmission increases.
Our Data/Signal Line products utilize high-speed, high-energy
components that come in a variety of voltage levels and unique packaging
congurations.
Underwriters Laboratories (UL) Standard for Safety, Transient Voltage Surge Suppressors (UL 1449) has undergone a number of changes
and will continue to drive application changes throughout the industry. is includes a change in nomenclature from transient voltage surge
suppressors (TVSS) to surge protective devices (SPD) and recognition of the standard by the American National Standard Institute (ANSI).
e adoption of the third edition of UL 1449 also aects performance testing methodologies, SPD ratings and the appropriate application
of SPDs.
Prior versions of the standard did not take into account the performance of the protector. So many products have entered the market that
essentially provided no benet, but were ‘safe for use’. To address this, UL under took these major changes and introduced a 2nd edition
to the standard. Once the new standard was put into practice, it became clear there were still some more issues that needed to be addressed,
therefore, UL decided to make further changes in the form of a 3rd edition to UL 1449.
ANSI/UL 1449 ird Edition Revisions Field Summary
SPD Locations by UL 1449 Types:
UL now categorizes surge protective devices (SPD) into categories based on its
intended application.
• TYPE 1 - Connect anywhere in the customer’s facility –
we strongly urge this to be specied for all critical installations.
• TYPE 2 - Connect downstream on load side of main breaker.
Be aware that some competitors may have “conditions of acceptability”
that can limit how the device is installed.
• TYPE 3 - Typically cord connected, plug in devices.
• TYPE 4 - Components
Nominal Discharge Current (I Nominal Rating):
is is the peak value of surge current which goes through the SPD (15 surges).
• TYPE 1 - UL tests to 10kA or 20kA. Not to be confused with maximum kA rating of the device. We recommend 20kA I Nominal
rating be specied. While this is the highest UL rating, it is a low level surge which should be required by any device in
even moderate exposure installations.
•TYPE 2 - UL tests to 3kA, 5kA, 10kA or 20kA I Nominal ratings. Again, 20kA is recommended for all specied SPD located at
service entrances.
Voltage Protection Rating (VPR):
ese ratings replace the Suppressed Voltage Ratings (SVR) of the prior standard. UL uses a surge six times the current level of the
SVR testing, so ALL measured VPR ratings are higher than the previous SVR rating.
All facilities that employ mission-critical electronic equipment should have a properly sized surge protective device (SPD) installed at the
main electrical service entrance and throughout their facility at the distribution and branch levels. e surge protection connected to the
incoming power line provides the rst line of defense against transient surges which are typically caused by nearby utility grid switching,
lightning or other power disturbances. However, disturbances can be internally generated as well as externally generated so employing
SPDs at key panels throughout your facility will also provide suitable downstream protection from external surges and local protection
from internal high-energy transients caused by motors, inductive loads, and various equipment load switching that can also cause damage
or costly downtime.
IEEE Standard 1100-2005, e Emerald Book: IEEE Recommended Practice for Powering and Grounding Electronic Equipment
recommends a tiered SPD protection from your Service Entrance down to branch panel level.
7.2.4 Surge suppressors: “…Eective surge protection for an entire building power distribution system requires the coordinated use of
large-capacity current-diverting devices at the service entrance followed by lower capacity voltage-clamping devices applied strategically
throughout the power system.”

STV 200/400K SERIES
SolaHD STV 200/400K Series oers continuous protection from
damaging voltage transients and electrical noise commonly found
at the service entrance or distribution panel. e modular design of
the STV 200/400K allows for installation exibility and the robust
design allows for installation in the most severe exposure locations.
ey are capable of handling the high-impulse, potentially
damaging transients commonly found at the service entrance or
distribution panels. e modular design of the STV 200/400K
allows for installation exibility. e robust design allows for
placement in the most severe exposure locations.
e STV 200/400K utilizes circuitry to monitor the status of all
protection modes, including neutral to ground. Should protection
be unavailable in any mode, the Green LED will be extinguished,
and the Red LED will be illuminated. In addition, high isolation
form C dry contacts provide remote monitoring of protection
system failure, under voltage, phase and power loss. e STV
200/400K protection integrity monitoring indicates failure for
both shorted or opened protection components.
ese devices are built to meet your unique requirements, and are
available in hardwire, three phase conguration. ey are designed
for years of trouble free operation and require little or no operator
intervention after installation.
