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, filtering any remaining noise or transients to the protected sensitive equipment and finally, protecting the data/signal lines entering or leaving the control panel or the factory floor. This coordination of devices provides the lowest possible let through voltage to the equipment.

SURGEPROTECTION•FirstLineofDefenseinLimitingHigh-ImpulseTransients

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 first 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.

Active Tracking Filtering with Surge protection •ProvidesCleanACPowerbyEliminatingLow-VoltageNoise

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 effective solution in critical equipment protection within harsh industrial environments. Active Tracking Filters are built upon a unique multi-stage hybrid design.

This 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.

The rapid development of automated controls, telecommunications and fire/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.

The 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. The 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 configurations.

for all your application needs

UL 1449 AND IEEE

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. This 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). The adoption of the third edition of UL 1449 also affects 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 benefit, 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 Third 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 specified 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):

This 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 specified. 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 specified SPD located at service entrances.

Voltage Protection Rating (VPR):

These 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. The surge protection connected to the incoming power line provides the first 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, The 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: “…Effective 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 offers continuous protection from damaging voltage transients and electrical noise commonly found at the service entrance or distribution panel. The modular design of the STV 200/400K allows for installation flexibility and the robust design allows for installation in the most severe exposure locations. They are capable of handling the high-impulse, potentially damaging transients commonly found at the service entrance or distribution panels. The modular design of the STV 200/400K allows for installation flexibility. The robust design allows for placement in the most severe exposure locations.

The 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. The STV 200/400K protection integrity monitoring indicates failure for both shorted or opened protection components.

These devices are built to meet your unique requirements, and are available in hardwire, three phase configuration. They are designed for years of trouble free operation and require little or no operator intervention after installation.
