UL 1449 THIRD Edition

SPD

TVSS

Surge Arresters

Combine TVSS and Surge Arrestersinto one UL Standard, UL 1449 3rd

Edition renamed: Surge Protective Devices (SPDs)Effective: Sept 29, 2009

• New SPD Types: Types 1, 2, 3 & 4• New Voltage Protection Ratings (VPRs) replace

old-style Suppressed Voltage Ratings (SVRs)• New I nominal ratings• Bid Specifications become Obsolete as product

evaluation & ratings change

UL 1449 THIRD Edition & 2008 NEC Art 285

• Changing term TVSS to SPD TVSS SPD• Creates Types 1, 2, 3 & 4 SPDs

• Type 1 – Installed on line or load side of Main OCP - similar to what you knew as SSA, except now includes rigorous safety testing. Includes all OCP & safety apparatus inside SPD

• Type 2 – Installed on load side of Main OCP - similar to what you know as hardwired TVSS. May require external OCP

• Type 3 – Point of Utilization – direct plug in - similar to what you know as surge strips - 10 meters from panel (rational based on being IEEE Cat. A location)

• Type 4 – surge suppression components, could be basic component or complete module. Type 4 components can be tested for Type 1, Type 2 or Type 3 applications.

3000A• As surge amplitude goes up, clamping voltage goes up too• Specs become obsolete• Need new VPRs in specs

New Clamping Voltages

UL 1449 THIRD EditionI nominal Testing – In - (Nominal Discharge Current)- New Concept to USA – Originated from IEC 61643- Duty Cycle Testing- 15 8x20s surges through every mode of three samples used for VPR testing

Type 1 – 20kA or 10kAType 2 – 20kA, 10kA, 5kA or 3kAType 3 – 3kAType 4 – Based on intended usage as Types 1, 2 or 3

UL 96A Master Label requires 20kA In from Type 1 or Type 2 SPD

What to look for in a spec….

APT offers a full breadth of Type 1 and Type 2 SPD’s. Our Type 1 SPD’s use Large Block 50kA MOV’s that have Thermal Protection and are very reliable and robust. Each Series offers protection which is ideal for remote locations and extreme duty applications where downtime is unacceptable, to models ideal for downstream applications. Our units offer protection from 50kA per phase up to 1000kA per phase.
