The IEEE C62.42(TM) guide series covers surge-protective components (SPCs) used in power and telecom surge-protective devices (SPDs) and equipment ports. This overview covers the following: Protective functions both non-linear and linear; Component technologies and characteristics; Common circuit designs used in SPDs and equipment ports; Information on the impulse (surge) generators used to test SPCs. Additional parts of IEEE C62.42(TM) on specific SPC technologies provide details on the following: Component construction; Characteristics and ratings; Application examples
Abstract
Revision Standard - Active.Surge-protective components (SPCs) used in power and telecom surge-protective devices (SPDs) and equipment ports are covered in the C62.42 guide series. This Overview part covers protective functions, both non-linear and linear; component technologies and characteristics; common circuit designs used in SPDs and equipment ports; and information on the impulse (surge) generators used to test SPCs. Additional parts of C62.42 on specific SPC technologies provide details on component construction, characteristics and ratings, and application examples.
