IEEE C62.64-1997 IEEE Standard Specifications for Surge Protectors Used in Low-Voltage Data, Communications, and Signaling Circuits

standard by IEEE, 11/03/1997

Full Description

Scope

This standard applies to surge protectors for application on multiconductor and coaxial, balanced or unbalanced,data, communications, and signaling circuits with voltages less than or equal to 1000 V rms, or1200 V dc. These surge protectors are intended to limit voltage surges, current surges, or both.This standard provides performance criteria and tables of preferred values for performance based on characterizationtests performed in accordance with IEEE Std C62.36-19941. The surge protectors covered aremultiple-component series or parallel combinations of linear or nonlinear elements, packaged for thepurpose of limiting voltage, current, or both. Figure 1 of IEEE Std C62.36-1994, reproduced here for convenience,illustrates as functional block diagrams the surge protectors covered by this standard.This standard is not intended to cover packaged single gas tube, air gap, varistor, or avalanche junctionsurge-protective devices, which are included in IEEE Std C62.31-1987, IEEE Std C62.32-1981, IEEE StdC62.33-1982, and IEEE Std C62.35-1987, respectively. Safety aspects of performance specifications are notcovered; such aspects are covered in the National Electrical Code¿¿ (NEC¿¿) (NFPA 70-1996). Specificallyexcluded from this standard are protectors for low-voltage power circuit applications.

Abstract

New IEEE Standard - Superseded.This standard applies to surge protectors for application on multiconductor and coaxial, balanced or unbalanced, data, communications, and signaling circuits with voltages less than or equal to 1000 V rms, or 1200 V dc. These surge protectors are intended to limit voltage surges, current surges, or both.
