Transient Voltage Surge Suppression Design and Correlation Marcus O Durham, PhD, PE THEWAY Corp Tulsa, OK Karen D Durham, EIT NATCO Tulsa, OK Robert A Durham, PE RADCo Consulting Broken Arrow, OK 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 Custom designs evaluated 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 8/20 wave shape ANSI C62.1 Waveforms 1000 500 800 400 100 200 0 0 -100 0 10 20 30 -200 40 1.2 / 50 wave-shape 500 500 400 400 300 300 200 200 100 100 0 0 -100 -100 -10 0 10 20 30 8 / 20 wave-shape -200 40 Amps -200 -10 Volts Volts 200 400 Amps 300 600 Protection Devices • Chosen based on system conditions – – – – • Only a few types available – – – – Voltage Frequency Exposure Grounding Physical Separation Ceramic Materials Passive Devices Solid State Components V I Shunt current F Filter frequencies Clamp voltage E Block energy Protection Devices Observations • Test signal -

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 Test Device 1Open Circuit 2Open Circuit 3Short Circuit Rating Units Test Peak Min V Peak Min I Peak V Voltage V I Out 1000 1011 8 11 4 1000 1009 3 13 -6 1000 99 -4 458 -31 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 Questions ?
