Lightning strikes conductors directly.
Lightning strikes the ground directly. Ground potential rise creates voltage differential in a radial direction from the strike.
Cloud-to-cloud lightning electro-magnetically couples with conductors on the ground.

UL 1449 ChangesUL 1449 ChangesFebruary 9, 2007February 9, 2007
♦ Expanded OVERVOLTAGE Testing(2 x nominal voltage)
♦ Added 7 hour intermediate fault current levels– 10 amps– 100 amps– 500 amps– 1000 ampsTo the original 5 amp & 200kA test
11
What indicates a failure?What indicates a failure?
Units can not exhibit any of the following during testing♦ Emissions of flame, molten metal, glowing or flaming
particles through any opening in the product.♦ Charring, glowing, or flaming of the supporting surface,
tissue paper or cheesecloth.♦ Ignition of the enclosure.♦ Creation of any openings in the enclosure resulting in the
accessibility of live parts in Section 13.♦ Loss of structural integrity to a degree that the equipment
collapses or experiences such displacement of parts that there is a risk of short-circuiting or grounding of current carrying parts.
12
What does this meanWhat does this meanto a customer?to a customer?
♦ Manufacturers can not build product to the old standard after February 8th 2007.
♦ Products produced before February 9th 2007 can continue to be sold.
♦ There is no special markings for the newly certified products.
♦ Have to check the date of manufacture on the product.♦ Spec’s should state “must be manufactured after
February 9th 2007 to the latest UL 1449 directive”♦ Ask for a copy of the product’s new listing from a NRTL
(UL, ETL, Metlabs, CSA,TUV etc)

Now that know how a simple SPD Now that know how a simple SPD reacts to a TOV… reacts to a TOV…
--- --- should we install it inside our should we install it inside our switch gear ??switch gear ??
21
NO WAY!!!NO WAY!!!
♦ Makes a NASTY mess of your switchgear
♦ Everything has to be cleaned or replaced
♦ The Emerald Book tells us it is a BAD IDEA
♦ May require extensive service shut-down
♦ May require HOT repairs♦ HOT repairs require compliance to
OSHA and NFPA 70E
WHY…
22
Integrated SPD is NOT SafeIntegrated SPD is NOT Safe
♦ Integrated SPD NOT RECOMMENDED by IEEE Emerald Book (IEEE Std 1100 – 2005 Section 8.4.2.5 )
Due to Switch Gear and Panel board contamination
– Product failure can contaminate the panel internally with ionized gases
– Carbon particles can cause a secondary and more serious failure, such as a Arc flashover
♦ Integrated Panels Must take an outage to repair/replace or operator MUST suit up

Arc Flash and TVSS SafetyArc Flash and TVSS Safety
……. In the United States, between five and ten times a day, an arc flash explosion occurs in electric equipment and the event sends a victim to a special burn center…..
…. Of these burn victims, at Of these burn victims, at least 1 will die as a result of the least 1 will die as a result of the injuries received !!!!injuries received !!!!These statistics were compiled by CapSchell, Inc., a research and consulting firm specializing in preventing workplace injuries and deaths

Every time you go into the Gear – Danger!Every time you go into the Gear – Danger!
Anytime a surge protection module, test board, alarm sensors or even a surge counter battery has to be replaced inside live equipment of an integrated Transient Voltage Surge Suppression (TVSS) device, it puts your people at risk unnecessarily.
