Page 95: 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: Circuit or grid switching by the power company ...
Page 96 Access Power Solutions Installation and Operation Guide (APS6-300/500 and APS12-300 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.
Page 97 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.
