Transient Voltage Surge Supression
Understanding Surge Protection and it’s Applications
Why do I need surge
protection?
If a surge is of sufficient
energy level then it can
damage or destroy electrical
equipment or even the
electrical infrastructure itself.
Direct and indirect costs
to a business can be very
expensive. A surge protection
device is in real terms very inexpensive
and when correctly
selected and installed can
prevent damage occurring.
What is a surge?
A surge is a random, short
burst of excess electrical
energy to a system. It is
typically measured in micro
and milli-seconds. Also
referred to as a transient,
impulse or spike, these
electrical disturbances can
damage or even destroy
sensitive microprocessorbased
equipment. Surge
protection devices are
designed to reduce the
amount of harmful energy that
flows into a system.
Where do they come from?
80% of transients are
generated from internal
sources such as load
switching, motors starting
up or even turning on air
conditioning systems. The
other 20% of transients are
typically generated from
external sources such as
lightning strikes and power
company grid switching. Like it
or not, most electrical systems
are subjected to some level of
transients.
What is TVSS?
Transient Voltage Surge
Suppressor (TVSS), otherwise
referred to as Surge
Protection Device (SPD). They
are defined as:
“ A device designed to protect
electrical equipment from
power surges and voltage
spikes.”
Are there any standards that
apply ?
For many years now there
have been internationally
recognised standards for
surge and lightning risk
assessment and protection.
Research and standards
committees publish many
standards relating to surge
risk and immunity. These
standards however differ from
one geography to another.
Of importance is that there
are two basic low voltage
standards in the world. In the
U.S. it is 120Vac, 60Hz. ( half
the voltage and twice
the current ). In Europe,
Australasia and parts of
Asia it is 220-240Vac, 50Hz.
( twice the voltage, half the
current ). It is important to
recognise that there are
differing methodologies and
compliance regulations for
both systems. There are
similarities between the US
and European standards, but
at key points the standards
become mutually exclusive.
So what standards do I use ?
Our electrical infrastructure in
Australia has been developed
based on European standards.
It is therefore appropriate to
use the European standards
as our guide. There are many
surge standards that can
be followed. Most AS/NZS
standards have great similarity
to the IEC standards. There
are several levels of standards
that can apply to any solution.
It is important to understand
that there is a hierarchy of
standards. At the highest level
there are the Low Voltage
Framework Directives. Below
this are Lightning and Surge
Risk Assessment standards.
Below this again are TVSS
and SPD equipment standards
and within these are test
and waveform standards. All
these standards need to be
used in conjunction with local
electrical switchboard and
wiring codes. Some of the
standards that apply and are
often mentioned are:
Waveform, test and current
standards and limits.
and Surge Protection - Risk
assessment.
standards
EMI/RFI generation and
immunity
And that’s not all of them.
There’s a lot to understand.
Some standards overlap,
it is easy to confuse them
and apply an in appropriate
standard. Understanding the
standards is key to success.
System design
System design is not as
difficult as it seems. As long
as the basic principles of
applicable standards are
applied then the job at hand
is to:
1. Divert the incoming excess
energy at the point-of-entry.
(Stop it BEFORE it gets into
the system. It’s cheaper and
easier to deal with it at the
point of entry).
2. Control current flow to the
next zone.
Do it again!
1. Divert excess residual
energy.
2. Control current flow to the
next zone.
It’s that simple. However,
understanding what the
correct risk rating is, what
needs to be protected vs. what
does not, what product to use
and how to correctly install it
for full performance benefit
can be difficult. By following
the next few pages we make it
easier to identify risk, classify
protection zones and identify
suitable products.
What are the rules for
installation ?
One of the key issues often
overlooked is the correct
placement and installation
practice that should be
applied. Each site is different.
There is no single definitive
design that can be applied
across the board for all surge
protection situations. It very
much depends on the specific
site infrastructure. There are
however, some basic rules
that should be practiced to
ensure that a solution will
work effectively. Whilst not
comprehensive, the following
are guidelines for successful
installation.

Physical & electrical location.
Location, Location, Location.
It’s a familiar line but very true.
Getting the location of an SPD
right is paramount to success.
It should be located as close
as possible to Main Switch or
metering point – within Main
SWB if possible. The earthing
point for the SPD (for Main
SWBs) must be located within
a short distance. The main
earthing point is where you
want the excess energy to end
up being safely dissipated.
Safety disconnectors.
It is preferred to use HRC
Gg/Gl fuses, not CBs. HRC
fuses perform better than
CB’s which are not designed
for surge waveforms and fast
rising transients. For medium
& high-current services
fuse as recommended by the
manufacturer. For low-current
services (

generates electrical noise (variable speed motor drives, highfrequency
welders etc.), a Surge/Power Filter (SPFi) should
be used. In an SPFi, surge diverters are utilised in conjunction
with low-pass filtering to reduce the surge voltage and remove
noise. In normal operation, an SPFi can be expected to reduce
surge potentials to less than 1000V whilst providing up to 40dB
of noise attenuation.

Firstly determine whether or not you require filtering or just
surge diversion. If selecting a surge diverter, select a device
appropriate for the protection category. The MSDi and SPDi are
suitable for category C & B locations. Quickmov surge diverters
can also be used in these locations for protection of Quicklag
and DIN panelboards.
If the site requires filtering at the point of entry, select an SPFi
with the appropriate current rating for the load, then select the
model appropriate for the protection category.
Eaton manufactures a complete range of power protection
components. These components fall into a number of
categories, depending upon where they are utilised in an
Category A (6kV/200A): Long final sub circuits and power outlets
Category B
Category C (6kV/15kA): Point of entry
In addition to these categories, there are 2 more categories
which simply extend the Category C rating:
Category D
Category E Point of entry, very high exposure and
critical load
Equipment listed in this catalogue is referenced by category to
make the selection of correct components easier.
Selecting Surge Protection Equipment for Commercial
& Industrial Applications
Minor sub mains and short final sub circuits – Category B
Once past the main board, most protection involves both surge
diversion and filtering. Non-critical loads such as lighting and
general-purpose power circuits do not necessarily require
protection.
Method
computer-controlled machinery, select an SPFi appropriate for
the load. In this case the protection level required is usually
taken as ‘one step’ below the protection level applied to the
MSFi filter ranges are suitable (for current < 25A, the CSFi
filter also provides installation compatibility with modular
switchboards). Generally, filters should be mounted as close as
possible to the equipment being protected.
Point of Entry – Category C
Basically, all installations should at least be protected at the
point of entry. The starting point for protection is the surge
diverter. Surge diverters effectively clamp the incoming lines
to neutral or earth, protecting switchboards, contactors,
transformers and motors from burnout due to extreme voltages.
A properly installed surge diverter can limit surges to below
2000V.
If the main load in an installation is critical of high voltages
(computers, communications systems, test equipment etc.), or
Long Final Sub circuits and Power Outlets - Category A
When protecting final sub circuits and power points there are 2
options. Either fit hard-wired filters to the circuit or use plug-in
filters on the equipment to be protected. This choice will be
determined by the load (plug-in filters are only rated up to 10A),
and whether or not there is space for a plug-in filter adjacent
to the equipment. With large computer networks, many
administrators prefer not to use plug-in filters as they can be

accidentally unplugged by the operator’s foot, causing network
problems. For small servers however, a plug-in filter provides
extra protection at the computer for ‘insurance’.
Method
Firstly select whether a hard-wired or plug-in filter is to be
used. If selecting a hard-wired filter, the DSFi range is suitable
provides installation compatibility with modular switchboards).
For plug-in filters, the SSFi series provides high levels of
protection with good filtering.
Selecting Surge Protection Equipment for Domestic
& Home-office Applications
Point of Entry – Category C & B
As with commercial and industrial applications, all installations
should at least be protected at the point of entry. Again, this
usually involves the use of surge diverters. Surge diverters
effectively clamp the incoming lines to neutral or earth,
protecting the switchboard and wiring from damage due to
extreme voltages.
Surge diverters are a ‘must’ if the building is located in an
exposed position or fed by long aerial cables, as in rural
installations. If the building is part of a medium or high-density
development and is fed by an underground cable, the risk
of high-energy surges is quite low. In these cases, a surge
diverter may not be necessary.
In most domestic buildings, the main switchboard is the only
switchboard and therefore, if it is desired to provide filtered
power for critical applications such as computers, office
equipment or entertainment systems, this should be done on
power and those that do usually only use it for heating or airconditioning.
For this reason, only the phase supplying power to
critical equipment is actually filtered. The remaining phases are
simply fitted with shunt diverters.
Method
Firstly determine whether or not you require filtering or just
surge diversion. If selecting a shunt diverter, select a device
and SPDT60 are suitable for single and multi-phase installations
whilst the SPD120i is ideal for very exposed sites (on hilltops or
with long aerial cables).
If the site requires filtering at the point of entry, select a DSFi
filter with the appropriate current rating for the load. The DSFi
provides installation compatibility with modular switchboards).
Final Sub circuits and Power Outlets – Category A
When protecting final sub circuits and power points there are 2
options. Either fit hard-wired filters to the circuit or use plug-in
filters on the equipment to be protected. This choice will be
determined by the load (plug-in filters are only rated up to 10A),
and whether or not there is space for a plug-in filter adjacent
to the equipment. Generally, a plug-in filter, used in conjunction
with protection at the switchboard, gives the best protection.
Method
Firstly select whether a hard-wired or plug-in filter is to be
used.
If selecting a hard-wired filter, the DSFi is suitable for currents
installation compatibility with modular switchboards).
For plug-in filters, the SSFi and POD provides high levels of
protection with good filtering. The POD also provides protection
for ancillary devices such as phone/fax, network and coaxial
cables - ideal for protecting video TV systems in domestic
applications.
Note: cable systems are electrically referred to mains neutral
which only increases the potential of damage from electrical
faults. If high levels of filtering are required such as for home
automation or high-end audio visual, or other noise-critical
equipment, the sub circuits supplying these systems should be
protected at the switchboard by a high level device such as the
CSFi.
Selecting Surge Protection for Dataline Applications
For IT and telecommunication applications, dataline network
protectors provide further protection against transients which
can enter the electrical system through “back-doors”. The
EMTJ and ERAK series offer transient protection for single
port or multi-port configuration on CAT5 and CAT6 networks.
The PWSF8RU is designed for surge protection in data rack
cabinets where space is typically limited.
