5. Transient Standards Categories and Definitions.
According to AS 1768:2005 the installation of transient over-voltage protectors can

be broken down into five (5) categories.
Such categories are shown below from highest risk (E) to lowest risk (A):
CAT E 6kV / 70kA

The Point of entry to “very exposed or
critically important site.
Example: Telecom tower on hill.
CAT D 6kV / 30kA CAT E – very high risk
The point of entry to an exposed rural

site.
Example: Pump station a Country Area
CAT C 6kV / 15 - 20kA

The point of entry to a site in the City or
built up area.
Example: Most common building or site
CAT B 6kV / 3kA

Within a building immediately after the
point of entry or Main Board.
Example: Sub-boards.
C B B
CAT A 6kV / 500Amp

Within a building and fed from a sub-board
being CAT B location.
Example: GPO,s

A GUIDE
TO SPECIFYING
ELECTRONIC SURGE PROTECTION DEVICES
Preface:
This document is meant as a guide to those involved in specifying, applying and/or approving electronic
transient protection devices. It is by no means a definitive paper on the types of transient surge protection
available nor in any way proposes to set out a particular manufacturer, type or technique.
This guide does not address “structural lightning protection” other than to direct the reader to the
Australian Standard AS NZS 1768:2005 and in particular to the proven techniques for effective structural lightning
design and installation. Good structural protection and earthing/bonding is an essential part of minimizing possible
effects from lightning transients.
The most important consideration for any Engineer specifying electronic transient protection is the “let-
thru” voltage as this is critical to the proper functioning of the electronic/electrical equipment it is intended to
protect following a transient. The critical considerations in specifying electronic transient protectors are:
1. Be compatible with the system it is protecting

2. Survive transients and contain any fault condition arising
3. Have a low “let-thru” voltage for ALL conductor combinations
4. Not fail and leave the installation un-protected
5. Be correctly installed and maintained regularly.
1. Compatibility
The protector should not inhibit the systems normal operation if it operates
2. Survival & housing
Transients from a lightning strike (close proximity) can exceed 200,000 amps, however statistically
the average transient is approx 10,000 amps. The IEC Standard uses 10,000 amps as the accepted
“norm”, however AS1768 has adopted 70,000 amps therefore any protector at a point of entry
should have a rating equal to or exceeding 70,000 amps to meet the current Australian Standard.
It is recommended by the leading MOV suppliers that surge protectors incorporating such devices be
constructed of metal as a safety precaution Clause 7.9.2 of IEC61643-1:2005 addresses this aspect.
3. Let-thru voltage
The magnitude of the transient reaching the electronic/electrical equipment is critical and can cause
anything from data-corruption to flash-over and arcing damage. The suitable protector should
therefore offer a let-thru voltage less than the maximum voltage rating for the equipment (the
current IEC states 2.5kV as the minimum insulation level).
Transients occur between all conductors of a system – that is: Ph-N / Ph-E / N-E and in
instrumentation and data-line circuits both Common Mode and Differential Mode. Protectors need to
offer such levels of protection
4. Indication of failure
In-line protectors such as used for 120/240vac sub-circuit, instrumentation and/or data-lines are
inherently “self-revealing” upon a major transient as the circuit invariably goes open. In Main Board
protection systems it is essential to have an indication to warn of failure or degradation of the
protective devices, such indication should be both local visual and a relay output.
5. Installation
The performance of transient protectors depends upon correct installation as they are required to
manage high frequency waveforms, therefore the length and size of connecting cables must be
considered, as a guide refer to AS4070:1992. As a rule of thumb the larger the cross section and the
shorter the cable the better, 500mm of 6 sq mm cable is recommended as a minimum.

SURGE CURRENT CAPACITY & FUSING

REF: AS/NZS 1768:2005
1. INTRODUCTION
The committees of all International Standards, after years of research have decided that the average
indirect lightning surge is only 10kA, Standards Australia, however, via AS1768:2005 Table F1 states
70kA as a maximum indirect lightning surge value,
Transtech has therefore taken the decision to meet the higher level as detailed by Standards Australia
and as a consequence the main board of the TLP range of Surge Protectors is designed to withstand
multiple transient surges of 70kA and a single surge of 140kA.
NOTE: The fault rating assigned to a Mains Surge Protector is not to be confused with the switchboard
bus bar fault rating. A transient/lightning surge rating is based upon an 8/20micro second waveform
therefore a duration of only 28 microseconds.
2. DESIGN OF TRANSTECH MAINS PROTECTORS
Transtech Electronic Controls Pty Ltd has been designing and manufacturing electronic transient/surge
protectors since 1996 and has supplied some of Australia’s biggest Companies not to mention delivering
over 15,000 pcs of its 20Amp single phase series filters to the BER Project Australia Wide.
Based upon the preceding information, Transtech Electronic Controls Pty Ltd designs its
TLP Mains Surge Protectors with high quality 70micron copper board and accurately calculated track
sizing designs. Surge protectors with ratings above 70kA simply offer extended lifetimes to users.
3. PROTECTING A TLP MAINS PROTECTOR
Protection of a Mains Surge Protector is governed according to AS3000. It is a requirement to protect the
circuit with either an HRC Fuse or a MCB, the HRC Fuse or MCB size is determined firstly by the Fault
Rating of the Switchboard and secondly by the wire size supplying the TLP.
3.1.1. SWITCHBOARD FAULT RATING

This refers to the bus bar fault level, therefore any protection device such as an HRC Fuse or
a MCB must be in accordance with suppliers ratings and application advice (an example
being Schneider Cascading & Enhanced Discrimination tables)
3.1.2. WIRE SIZE

Transtech Electronic Controls Pty Ltd recommends the maximum size wire to connect a TLP
2
Mains Protector – that is 16 mm therefore according to AS3000 Table B2 the HRC Fuse or
MCB shall be 50 amps maximum.
3.1.3. PROTECTION SELECTION (amp rating)

As per preceding comments, either an HRC Fuse or MCB is required to protect and provide
isolation for the Mains Surge Protector. The factors to be considered in the selection of a
suitable primary protection device are as per Clauses 3.1.1 and 3.1.2 above.
The current rating of the HRC or MCB should be between 25 amps and 50 amps.

ABN 21 070 629 499
SUMMARY.
A. Transtech Electronic Controls Pty Ltd follows AS1768:2005 and all other relevant Standards in its
designs and meets them regarding surge fault ratings.
B. Transtech Electronic Controls Pty Ltd Mains Surge Protectors cover all Category’s E / D / C / B / A
C. Transtech Electronic Controls Pty Ltd manufactures Mains Surge Protectors offering Surge Fault
ratings in excess of 70kA, these simply offer the user extended lifetime.
D. The fault ratings of the TLP Mains Surge Protectors should not be confused with switchboard bus bar
fault ratings.
E. All Transtech Mains Surge Protectors type TLP’s have internal MOV protection fuses suitable to break
100Amps.
F. The fault rating of a TLP Mains Surge Protector is based upon a very short time of 28 microseconds,
not to be confused with a typically 1sec rating as for switchboard Type Tests.
G. Transtech Electronic Controls Pty Ltd has been designing electronic surge protectors for over 16
years and accurately designs the circuit board layout in its TLP series to withstand a 70kA 8/20
microsecond surge.
