Abstract:
Superseded by C62.45-2002. Guidance is provided for applying surge testing to ac power interfaces of equipment connected to low-voltage ac power circuits that are subject to transient overvoltages. Signal and data lines are not addressed in this document, nor are any specifications stated on the withstand levels that might be assigned to specific equipments. An important objective of the document is to call attention to the safety aspects of surge testing.
Scope:
The purpose of this document is to provide guidance on applying surge testing to ac power interfaces of equipment connected to low voltage (up to 1000 V rms) ac power circuits that are subject to transient overvoltages. These transients may be defined by any applicable document, such as IEEE Std C62.41-1991 or IEC 664-1 (1992). While frequent reference is made to these documents, the application of this guide is not limited to them. In IEEE Std C62.41-1991 , a description is given of the surge environment that can be expected to prevail in low-voltage ac power circuits where no special precautions have been taken to limit transient overvoltages; in IEC 664-1 (1992), a recommendation made to establish a controlled overvoltage situation is justified if there is compliance with appropriate interface requirements, so that maximum overvoltage levels in a descending staircase can be assigned according to a specified overvoltage category where such a category generally reflects the configurat...
