IEEE 28-1972
IEEE Standard for Surge Arresters (Lightning Arresters) for Alternating Current Power Circuits
standard by IEEE, 01/24/1972
Full Description
Scope
This standard applies to surge-protective devices designed for repeated limiting of voltage surges on 50- or 60-Hz power circuits by passing surge discharge current and subsequently automatically interrupting the flow of follow current. This standard applies to devices for separate mounting and to those supplied integrally with other equipment
Abstract
Revision Standard - Superseded.The issuance of this document to supersede IEEE Std 28-1967 (ANSI C62.1-1967) revises manyportions of the standard and adds two significant design tests, namely, switching-surge sparkovercharacteristic tests for station and intermediate arresters rated 60 kV and above, and radio influencevoltage (RIV) and internal-ionization-voltage tests.
