DESCRIPTION

The 587B Low Profile (LPE) Series is designed for European applications where
no line to ground or neutral to ground suppression is allowed. These modules
employ a three stage technology proven to be the most cost effective and reliable
method in protecting sensitive electronic equipment from over voltage transients.

This series is designed to protect AC powered equipment from the 6,000 Volt peak
open circuit voltage and 3,000 Amp short circuit current as defined in ANSI/IEEE
C62.41, Category CI.

The 587BxxxLPE Series offers a high degree of protection against 240 VAC line
noise. It is ideal for protecting 800 Volt components because the solid state TVS
technology assures that the line-to-neutral voltage will not exceed 800 Volts.
While the modules are designed for transient voltage protection, the advanced
circuitry will also attenuate the amplitude and slow the rate of rise of high fre­quency noise. The 587BxxxLPE Series includes common mode protection, which
are effective in reducing interference from line to equipment and are effective in
reducing equipment generated noise to meet FCC, VDE and CSA interference
requirements.

Figures 1 and 2 are photographs of digitized waveforms
showing the typical clamping action of a 16 ampere module.
A 12 Ohm resistor is used to represent a 10 Amp equipment
load. The load is then subjected to the ANSI/IEEE C62.41
Category CI test conditions (6,000V/3,000A). These photo­graphs contrast the effect on equipment with and without the
protector.

Clamping Voltage: The clamping voltage of an arrester is the voltage that appears across its terminals during conduction of a transient current.

Standard Wave Form: The waveform 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 µs waveform.

Transient Current: The transient current of an arrestor is the peak surge current which flows through the arrester when voltage clamping occurs.

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 current load, and heat sinking may be required to maintain case temperature 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, magnetic shielding may be required. In addition, the electrical service
must be connected to a low impedance earth ground.
