Category C3 waveforms. The Category C3 waveform is defined as a 1.2 x 50 microsecond
waveform at 20,000 volts and 8 x 20 microsecond waveform at 10,000 Amperes.
E.
Filter: The system shall be tested to MIL-STD 220A for electrical line noise attenuation per
50 Ohm insertion loss measurement method of RF Frequencies up to 100 MHz.
SYSTEM OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS
A.
Voltage: The SPD system operating voltage shall be 480Y/277 volts, 3-phase, 4-wire, plus
ground.
B.
Frequency: The nominal SPD system operating frequency shall be 60 Hertz.

3.
Operating Altitude: up to 10,000 feet above sea level.
CONFIGURATION
A.
Equipment shall be multi-stage parallel protector rated for service entrance and including
service entrance disconnect switch. The equipment surge current capacity, based on an 8 x
20 micro-second waveform per ANSI/IEEE C62.41 Category C3 rating, shall be a minimum
of 200,000 Amperes per mode.
B.
Protection Modules: The system protection modules shall contain balanced arrays of metal
oxide varistors (MOV) and metalized filtering capacitors. Each module shall be rated for
minimum of 100,000 amperes based on an 8 x 20 microsecond waveform and shall be
capable of optimally sharing surge currents. The system modules shall not contain silicon
avalanche diodes (SAD), gas tubes or spark gaps.
C.
Protection Modes: The SPD shall provide Line to Neutral (L-N) (WYE); Line to Ground (LG) (WYE or Delta); Neutral to Ground (N-G) (WYE); and Line to Line (L-L) (Delta)

D.
Filtering: The SPD system shall include noise filtering capability to provide 50 dB as
measured by the 50 Ohm Insertion Loss Test.
E.
Performance Ratings: The system performance ratings shall be based on the UL 1449 listing
ratings for IEEE C62.41 Category B equipment. The maximum UL 1449 Voltage Protection
Rating for each of the specified protection modes shall be:
700 volts for 120, 120/208, or 120/240 volt systems.

ACCESSORIES
A.
PART 3
3.1
1.
Monitoring: All SPD equipment shall be provided with both local and remote monitoring
capabilities as herein specified. Provide the following options:
1.
The SPD system shall include on-line, press-to-test diagnostics allowing easy
diagnostic testing verifying the operational integrity of all protection modules. The
diagnostics board shall include long-life, solid-state, externally visible LED status
indicators that monitor the on-line status of each phase of the unit. The diagnostics
board shall also be provided with one (1) set of Normally Open (N/O) Normally
Closed (N/C) Form C dry contact relays and shall individually monitor both
common and normal modes.
2.
Surge Counter Option (SCO): The SPD shall include a surge counter on the face of
the enclosure that will count all surges and transients occurring above the system
clamping voltage threshold. The SCO shall maintain data in the event of a power
failure or disconnection from the AC power source. The SCO system shall provide a
visual count of all surges and transients through LCD readout. The SCO circuitry
shall prevent incorrect counting of ringing transients by registering all surges and
transients occurring within 20 milliseconds as a single event. The SCO shall be
capable of being reset by a push button switch on the surge counter meter faceplate.
3.
Audible Alarm Option (AAO): The SPD shall include a solid-state audible alarm
that will sound in the event that any protection module fails. The AAO shall include
an enclosure-mounted transducer and lighted On/Off alarm silence switch with
visual indication of silence selection. The AAO will interface and derive its power
from the SAM board solely. No additional power supply source should be used.
EXECUTION
INSTALLATION
A.
The SPD equipment shall be installed in full accordance with the equipment manufacturer's
recommendations.
B.
A qualified factory trained technician shall certify the final installation. A letter shall be
provided by the manufacturer after acceptance of the installation that the equipment is
operating within design specifications.
C.
The SPD equipment shall be installed to insure all required working and service clearances.

E.
On-Site Training: On-site training shall be provided by the manufacturer to demonstrate the
normal monitoring capabilities of the SPD equipment.
WARRANTY
A.
Manufacturer shall provide a product warranty for a period of not less than five (5) years
from date of installation. Warranty shall cover unlimited replacement of system protection
modules during the warranty period.
