Introduction
• Most protection consists of traditional
arresters
• Most devices remain un-validated for app
• Cost of inadequate protection
– Equipment failure
– Downtime – lost revenue
• Proper protection improves bottom line
Introduction

•
Components and systems tested

Design approaches discussed
Cost vs. protection evaluated
ANSI Standard Tests
• Tests conducted according to ANSI C62.1
procedures
• Open circuit (voltage) evaluated using
1.2/50 wave shape
• Short circuit (current) evaluated using

operate until 2*Vrated

Resistance is consideration
4-20 ma loop compliance = 600 max
Must be small enough to not impact ops
Must be large enough to limit current
Must have large enough power rating
Passive Elements
Inductors
• Block current changes
• Size  Voltage buildup
• Induce higher V
due to I changes
V = L di/dt
• Air core preferred

Fast, handle less energy
MOV = Zinc Oxide = Voltage

SiC  = 10
ZnO  = 25 - 60
• Hi W = Hi C

•
Diodes fastest, but have low power rating
Couple with gas tube to increase rating
MOVs have highest power rating
Still must be coupled with secondary device
MOV
Grounds
• Uniform equi-potential ground is most effective
protection
• Generally, single point connection
• Isolated @ source for hi energy
• Isolated @ load for remote instrumentation
Instrumentation TVSS
•
•
•
•
Most common are inline devices
Problem with Z and f response
Commercial use common mode
Problem with remote app (circulating I)

Remote Instrumentation TVSS
• Isolate transmitter and DCS
• Use differential mode MOVs
• Use inline inductors for isolation
• Inductors round the curve
• Dissipates energy

Remote TVSS Response
Power TVSS
• Shunt type adequate
• Inline devices
– Failed or
– Ineffective in performance or packaging
– Most had more output V than input V
• Hard to match f response and low Z
• Often L-N adequate, while L-G worsened

MOV, Gas tube and capacitor L-N @ input
Fe core inductor inline
MOVs L-N, L-G, N-G @ output
Transorb L-N @ output
• Output V slightly higher than other MOVs
• Handles more energy
• Ringing less due to transorb
Motor TVSS
480 Volt

•
Complete system with filters
6000 V L-N & G input  5900V pass-through
Grounds shorted  ringing on output
R load  harmonic spikes every 10 S
• MOVs as effective
• Primary arresters enhance MOV response
TVSS Challenges
• Follow-through
– Gas tube
– MOVs
– Diodes

• Degradation
–
Select device w/ lifetime hit rating>100,000
• Catastrophic failure
– Shorted @ life or overpowered
– Open with very excessive power (melts)
Conclusions - General
• The engineer with information is never at the
mercy of opinions.
• Proper application of protection should be based
on tested performance
• Response to standard waveforms can be used to
determine circuits of proprietary units

Conclusions - Components
• Most devices do not provide substantial
protection until 200% rated voltage
• Inductors can create Vout >> Vin
• Filters resonate at some transient frequency
• Higher energy devices tend to be slower
• Semiconductor devices need primary arrester to
handle hi energy
Conclusions - TVSS
• Remote systems should dissipate energy without
ground
• Power inline devices failed or did not provide
proper protection
• More sophisticated circuits did not provide
additional protection
• Most effective protection is proper grounding
system
