3 Overvoltage definition DEFINITION OF OVERVOLTAGE Overvoltage is voltage that exceeds the maximum value of operating voltage in an electric circuit. Pulse overvoltage, its formation and division Pulse overvoltage is short-term overvoltage, lasting in the order of nanoseconds up to milliseconds. It is one of the most noticeable and most harmful manifestations of electromagnetic interference (perturbing influences) and it poses a threat especially to electronic equipment containing semiconductor components. According to its origin, pulse overvoltage is classified into: - atmospheric overvoltage (LEMP Lighting ElektroMagnetic Pulse) - switching overvoltage (SEMP Switching ElektroMagnetic Pulse) - overvoltage formed during discharges of static electricity (ESD ElektroStatic Discharge) - overvoltage due to nuclear explosions (NEMP Nuclear ElektroMagnetic Pulse) Atmospheric overvoltage (LEMP) The most dangerous overvoltage which is induced primarily by thunderstorms with lightning discharges. Overvoltage may occur between a phase and the earth or between phase conductors. It is caused primarily by thunderstorm activity, specifically by lightning discharges, namely to overhead lines and in sections of unshilded cables. Atmospheric overvoltage may be generated by a direct or near strike of lightning into a overhead line, lightning rod, some metal structure, cable, etc. The destructive effect of lightning current is given by its high energy released in a short time, which creates conditions for inducing stress in loops accompanied by adverse changes of earth resistance. Switching overvoltage (SEMP) They are very frequent overvoltage that occurs in both low-voltage and high-voltage networks. Switching overvoltage is generated by industrial activities: - when great loads, especially inductive ones, are switched on and off, e.g. transformers or electric motors or even small household appliances, e.g. refrigerators, freezers - in the event of short circuits in a distribution network and the like. Invisible voltage pulses that are immeasurable by usual means last only several millionths or thousandths of a second, yet they can cause the destruction mainly of electronic equipment, sometimes even a short circuit and subsequent fire. ZnO overvoltage limiters Currently for the construction of surge arresters are usually used voltage dependent resistors with metal-oxide ZnO varistors, which excel symmetrical currentvoltage characteristics and a zero followed current after shock subside the surge.these basic properties allow the use of these resistors as ZnO surge limiters (arresters) without spark gaps. The parameters on the basis of which we design the limiters are as follows: - Continuous operating voltage of the limiter U C it represents the maximum value of voltage connected permanently to limiter terminals at mains frequency. - Rated voltage of the limiter U R it represents the maximum effective value of voltage for which the limiter is designed while the correct function under conditions of temporary overvoltage at mains frequency is maintained. Such voltage is defined as voltage to which the limiter is exposed for 10 seconds following previous stress. - Protective level of the limiter U P is voltage on terminals at a given shape and peak value of current passing though. - Nominal discharge current I n the peak value of an atmospheric current pulse that is used for the classification of overvoltage limiters. - Residual voltage U RES it represents residual voltage on the overvoltage limiter. It is actually the peak value of voltage that appears between terminals of the overvoltage limiter when discharge current is passing through it. - Working temperature J it represents the range of permissible ambient temperatures stated by the manufacturer for the limiter to work properly. - Line discharge class a number expressing the ability of the overvoltage limiter to absorb energy in the event that long lines are discharged. Overvoltage resistance of ZnO limiters By the magnitude of permissible energy, the overvoltage limiters are divided into five classes. The higher the class, the higher is the energy capacity of the limiter. The energy that the limiter has to absorb during overvoltage rises with the voltage of the network in which it is used. Voltage rises slower than energy. Limiters in networks with higher voltage must have a greater energy capacity than limiters in networks with lower voltage. The selection of the energy class and of the rated discharge current is based on the frequency at which the energy capacity is exceeded in the given application. An energy class expresses the ability of the limiter to absorb both atmospheric and switching overvoltage. It is stated in the units kj/kv of the limiter s voltage and is independent of nominal voltage. Energy classes 1 to 5 divide the limiters into groups according to the magnitude of the permissible energy of overvoltage that they are able to absorb without being degraded or without losing heat stability at operating voltage. The higher the class, the greater is the energy capacity of the limiter. The energy classes and an example of their use Class 1 use in HV networks without classification of class (5kA) or class 1 or 2 (10 ka) Class 2 use in 110 kv networks Class 3 use for kv networks and for cable networks Class kv long network lines Class 5 extremely extensive 750 kv cable networks 3

4 Dimensioning of the overvoltage limiters Dimensioning of the overvoltage limiters The overvoltage limiters are sized based on a particular position in the network, i.e. whether they are to protect e.g. a line outlet, a line transition into a cable or transformer. Whatever their position, they have specific conditions for protection and overvoltage stress. The design of these protective equipments for given application always project-designer decides. Selecting the operating voltage U C of limiters The operating voltage, voltage-current characteristics and all voltage parameters of the limiter are dependent upon the height of column of blocks. By contrast, all voltage parameters are set by the selection of operating voltage U C. Incorrect selection of voltage U C may have a considerably negative effect on the limiter s function. If a low U C is selected, the protective level U RES and also the risk of failure of the protected device associated with it will be favourably low. On the other hand, however, there will be a risk of thermal stress on the limiters caused by temporary overvoltage, so the probability of them failing will be high. If a high U C is selected, the risk of failure of the limiters owing to temporary overvoltage will be insignificant but a high protective level U RES will imply a higher probability of the protected devices being destroyed. The correct selection of continuous voltage U C of the limiters should mean optimum parameters of protection, hence a balanced risk of reliability of the supply for both causes. The protection parameters can be improved by connecting the limiters as close to the protected device as possible with as short interconnecting wires as possible! The limiters limit voltage to a limiter s protective level U P. A limiter s protective level U P is voltage on terminals with a given shape and peak value of current passing through. Values characterising a limiter s protective level can be found in our catalogue. It is a limiter s residual voltage U RES. Characteristics of overvoltage protection of LV and HV networks In LV and HV distribution networks with overhead lines, it is necessary to protect equipment primarily from atmospheric overvoltage. Switching overvoltage reaches substantially lower current and voltage levels than atmospheric. The greatest overvoltage in cable networks without connected overhead lines is caused by short circuits and/or switching. The primary task of protective measures which are economically fully justified is to protect the equipment of LV networks from destruction by atmospheric overvoltage by installing surge arresters and, at the same time, to enable the protection of installation by adequately reducing overvoltage in the network. Principles for positioning and wiring in low voltage networks Overvoltage limiters or surge arresters can be used in 1-phase and 3-phase networks TNC, TNS, IT and TT. typically, their connections is recommended to make between phase and grounding conductor E (or PEN with TNC networks in place of his ground). In the event that the grounding conductor is not accessible, it is necessary to use a suitable grounding electrode rod with a length at least 1 m. When designing and implementing of grounding is recommend to proceed according to PNE and PNE Generally applicable rules for connecting of overvoltage limiters 1) The overvoltage limiters and the device that is to be protected must be earthed to a common earthing system. The galvanic interconnection between the earthing terminals of the limiters and the earthing of the protected device must be as short as possible. 2) The total length of conductors a and b of connection of the limiters to the protected device must be as short as possible. 3) It is always recommended that conductor b should be as short as possible or at least shorter than conductor a. 4) Strip conductors are more suitable for connection than those with circular cross-section as with the same cross-section, becase strip conductors have smaller inductance and pulse losses of overvoltage in them are smaller. The minimum size of a connecting conductor is 6 mm. The minimum width of a strip conductor is 12 mm 2. Above all, the installation of overvoltage limiters in every application is prevention of possible damage. A seemingly considerable cost of such protections tend to be only a fraction of a per cent of the acquisition value of the technology protected and a negligible sum for possible damage caused by breakdowns and destruction of technological equipment. Unprotected electric distribution systems, computer and data networks always poses a considerable risk to their users.

16 LOW VOTAGE LIMITER FOR RAILWAY APPLICATIONS Voltage limiter device TYPE 1 (VLD-F) acc.to EN IP67 - CE Limiters for both outdoor and indoor use VOLTAGE LIMITER DEVICE TYPE 1, VLD-F APPLICATION IN AC AND DC TRACTION POWER SYSTEMS P120G, P60G P60G and P120G are a new types of low voltage limiters (voltage limiter devices type 1... VLD-F) based on requirements of EN , which are designed to protect the non-live parts of metallic structures in DC ev. AC traction power supply systems. They are used to effectively protect persons who may come into contact with these parts during lightning strikes or a defect of the tractive overhead line. The limiter has a high internal resistance when voltage on it is less than the nominal level its spark over voltage U VDC and becomes conductive when this level is exceeded. In case of failure arising from a contact between live parts of the power system and traction conductive portion unintentionally associated with return path limiter protects illegal contact voltage that becomes conductive and causes the power is turned off. According to EN , this type of limiter is recommended primarily for connection between the protected area and return circuit in overhead line areas (or pantograph areas) that may be in contact with live conductors or damaged current collector, then the support structures pylons which can become live due to a fault isolation. After re-applied voltage drops below of its nominal level spark over voltage U VDC the limiter returns to the non-conducting state again. 12,5 2x M12x20 51,5 112,5 170,5 3 12, Type P120G P60G Classification acc.

On the outer insulating cover is used a light blue silicone rubber. Working chamber of built GDT is equipped with technically sophisticated fail-save mode hardware that provides an automatically transition to short-circuit mode in the event of longtime overloads above 500A DC (AC) (this state is non-reversible). On the outer insulating cover is used a blue silicone rubber, which is hydrophobic and has excellent resistance against weathering, pollution and UV rays. Cover caps, connecting bolts and nuts are made from stainless steel, suitable for connection of conductors with cross section mm 2 Fe (Cu). The product is delivered with an integrated bracket, allowing direct mounting of P120G (P60G) to the protected metal structure (pillar, wall or flange). Recommended mounting position is vertical bracket up. Limiter is installed directly to a protected building construction (using two bolts M12), so that in the event of its activation was generated a conductive connection between this structure and the return path. The limiter can be activated either by lightning current ev. current resulting from contact protected metallic structure with a fallen overhead line. In such a case occurs between these parts of the occurrence of a potential difference of more than 120V (valid for P120G), ev. 60V (valid for P60G). Built-in GDT ignites instantly (response time is typically 20 nsec) and for a transitional period of both parts electrically interconnects (typical internal resistance initialized P120G (P60G) is 0,001 0,002 Ω). The duration of this transient process is automatically broken up by potential equalization between the protected structures and a return path, when it comes to an automatic switching off GDT due to recombination its gas filling.

They provide protection against low-voltage overvoltage, they protect in low-voltage overhead power distribution systems electrical equipment, instruments, switchgear of distribution transformers and reduce the risk of damage to in-house networks and their equipment by atmospheric and switching overvoltage in AC networks with a frequency of Hz. The SPB surge arresters protect against the destructive effects of lightning and switching overvoltage. It is recommended to use them in places secured against contact, e.g. by a position or barrier. The SPB surge arresters do not require any special maintenance, only a check after thunderstorms with atmospheric discharges. The destruction of arresters due to great overloading is indicated by the lifting-off of a red signalling cap. These arresters should be replaced by new ones. Considering the fact that an arrester is not destroyed in the event of its excessive overloading above guaranteed limits and subsequent thermal breakdown, this arrester can be mounted into switchboards directly on the buses of a power circuit-breaker. An SPB can be connected to all types of overhead conductor lines, including insulated lines to where it is supplied with an insulated piercing terminal. The connection with an insulated terminal makes it possible to connect a branch line to the protected structure and to mount and dismount the live arrester without the risk of contact with live parts under voltage.

22 Characteristics and performance Predominantly capacitative current in the order of hundreds of µa passes through the surge arrester at continuous operating voltage. The active component of the current is negligible. When the terminal voltage of the surge arrester increases, the surge arrester changes smoothly to an on-state and limits all types of overvoltage. The response time is very small (in the order of 100 ns) so the surge arrester reliably limits even steep surges of atmospheric overvoltage. The surge arrester consists of a plastic housing with connecting leads, a separately enclosed watertight and electrically isolated varistor encapsulated in silicon caoutchouk, thermal disconnector and a signalling cap in the bottom part of the housing. Easy assembly is an advantage as well. The plastic of the housing is resistant to UV radiation, weather effects and is flame-retardant Class V0. The connecting screws and terminals are made of stainless steel. The surge arrester is fitted with an earthing cable with an end green-yellow or black in colour as required by the customer, with a length of 0.65 m, 0.8 m or 1.0 m, or with other lengths as agreed with the customer. The built-in disconnector is used to disconnect the limiter from the mains in the event of its overloading, which may occur owing to the limit parameters of the varistor being exceeded (absorption of greater energy, e.g. due to a long-term increase in the operating voltage above Uc, or due to great voltage induced by a lightning strike in the immediate vicinity). The maximum current of the varistor is 100 ka, 4/10 μs. In the event of two consecutive pulses of 65 ka, 4/10 μs, the varistor temperature may reach a value at which the disconnector gets disconnected.. Disconnection is signalled in such a way that the red cap of the surge arrester in the bottom SURGE ARRESTER SPB */10 PP; AlFe; S LV POWER PROTECTION part of the housing is lifted off. In the event of varistor breakdown (e.g. when the maximum current is exceeded owing to a steep pulse), the enclosed varistor may be carried up from the housing by short-circuit current without the outer shell of the surge arrester being damaged or destroyed. This will ensure that the surge arrester is disconnected from the mains without potential damage to surrounding objects (except the bottom part) or a flashover between busbars in the switchgear. The disconnection is again indicated by the lifting off of the cap. When an insulated terminal is used, all the live parts remain sufficiently insulated and protected against accidental contact. Operation Failure Disconnection is signalled in such a way that the red cap of the limiter in the bottom part of the housing is lifted off. Transport, handling and storage requirements The surge arresters shall be packed individually in a polyethylene bag and transported in non-returnable cardboard boxes. Other packaging is possible by agreement with the customer. The surge arresters shall be stored in cartons in indoor closed stores at a temperature from 30 C to +30 C. Foam or water may be used as extinguishing agents. During transport it is necessary to handle the product with care so as not to damage the carton packaging. Effect on the environment There is no risk of a negative influence on the environment during the transport, handling, storage and use of the product. The disposal of damaged products shall be carried out by taking them to a waste dump. The waste catalogue number is
