Reducing the impactof tRansient damage

Surge-Trap® SPD offers a patented fail-safe Type 2 solution and a superior thermal overload technology that delivers higher safety ratings and protection.

Power-related problems cost U.S. companies more than $80 billion a year. The impact is far-reaching and affects just about every aspect of business. It drives up maintenance and production costs, causes production delays, lost sales, late deliveries, as well as increased spoilage and scrap. Mersen’s Surge-Trap® Surge Protective Devices (SPD) help minimize power-related problems by protecting sensitive electrical equipment from harmful transients.

Most transients originate from within a facility and nearly 80% of today’s overvoltage problems are caused by equipment and power disturbances within the plant. These inner-facility transients are caused by light load panels switching on and off, motors starting and stopping, and close conductor proximity, just to name a few.

Less than 20% of transient problems originate outside of the facility due to lightning strikes, utility grid switching, switching of capacitor banks, and electrical accidents.

Transients cause three general types of damage to sensitive electrical equipment, for example:

• Disruptive – A voltage transient enters an electronic component which interprets the valid logic command, resulting in system lock-up, malfunctions, faulty output or corrupted files.

• Dissipative – A repetitive, short duration energy surge resulting in long-term degradation.

• Destructive – Associated with high level energy surges, resulting in immediate equipment failure (most obvious).

When exploring your surge suppression options, keep in mind that not all SPDs are created equally. If you need a space-saving option or are looking for ways to reduce costs, then consider an integrated system. Mersen’s Surge-Trap® is the only SPD featuring our patented TPMOV® technology inside.

To evaluate the safety performance of an SPD, look for compliance with IEC 61643-11, UTE C 61-740-51, UL 1449 Third Edition, RoHS, and ANSI/IEEE C62.41.

the unique benefits of the suRge-tRap® spdThe Surge-Trap® SPD is a fail-safeType 2 surge protective device that is easy to install or retrofit. Direct connection is available with the DIN-rail mount option. The Surge-Trap® SPD has a small foot print, visual indicator and an IP20 finger-safe design. Optional remote indicators are available when status to critical control circuits are needed.

Voltage Protection Level (Up)3: A rating per IEC 61643-11, signifying the rounded up average measured limiting voltage of an SPD when the SPD is subjected to an 8/20 μs current impulse equivalent to the SPD’s in rating.

*Short Circuit current Rating (ISCCR)4: Maximum prospective short circuit current that the surge protective device is able to withstand.

Surge Protective Device (SPD): A device that contains at least one nonlinear component and is listed to limit surge voltages and divert surge current.

8/20 current Impulse current: Impulse with a virtual front time1 of 8μs and a time to half-value2 of 20μs.

Clamp Voltage: The peak MOV terminal Voltage measured with an applied 8/20 μs pulse of rated impulse current

Metal Oxide Varistor (MOV): An electronic component that is commonly used to divert excessive current to the ground and/or neutral lines.

*Maximum Continuous Operating Voltage (MCOV or UC): The maximum rms voltage that may be continuously applied to the SPD for each connected mode.

Nominal Discharge Current (In): Peak value of the current through the SPD, selected by the manufacturer from a list of predetermined values, having a short-circuit current wave shape of 8/20 μs where the SPD remains functional after 15 surges.
