Page 87: Appendix F Transient Protection
Appendix F Transient Protection Transi ent Protecti on To prevent damage to Eaton Access Power Solutions from lightning and transient over-voltages, structural lightning protection and transient protection must be installed at each site. Transient protection will also protect against other sources of transients, such as:...
Page 88 Access Power Solutions Installation and Operation Guide (APS3-300 Series) Primary Transient Protection Primary transient protection must be considered at all sites. Eaton recommends primary transient protection on the incoming ac supply either at the main ac switchboard or sub-switchboard. In the absence of sufficient information, primary transient protective devices with a minimum repeat strike rating of 100kA (8/20μs wave shape) are recommended.
Page 89 2kA. Tertiary Transient Protection Eaton rectifiers are fitted with 6kV/3kA transient protection. This is designed to protect the rectifiers from voltage spikes generated during operation of the upstream transient protection system. Do not install rectifiers without adequate upstream surge protection.
