The range of models fully covers surge ratings from 40KA to 240kA/phase. CPS Block surge panels are intended for installation at service-entrances, branch panels and electrical cabinets, according to IEEE & UL standards and location categories, TRANSIENTS Electrical power is subject to disturbances called ‘vansients: high to very high peaks (of thousands) of volts which last for a very short time (microseconds) These split-second high voltage transients typically result from atmospheric discharges (direct and indirect lightning activity), external switching of loads or power utility grid switching and internally generated electrical overvottages, TRANSIENT OVERVOLTAGES CRIES ae ear Sete tae aSehse The significance of internal surges is not to be underestimated. Equipment such as motors and appliances, turning on and off, do actually represent a great deal of transient voltage surges reaching values of up to 6 (and even more) times the “system peak value” (EEE C62,41,1-2002) In order to secure its activity against service interruptions (24x7), downtime and data losses as much as against the subsequent effects on productivity and capital assets, does virtually every single business need to protect electrical data, telecom Circuits and electronic equipment from the effects of these overvoltages. BEYOND THE CLASSICAL TVSS The CPS Block family is a range of quality products engineered for long life with premium quality components and a robust modular construction. By recourse to its sound IEC background has CPT developed a product that functionally complies not only with IEEE & UL, but even with IEC standards, under tougher conditions: IEC-61643, CPS Block has been designed to meet the requirements of the 3rd Edition of ULI449, which came into effect in 2009. The results of the tests performed according to the 3rd edition have been included in the tech sheets in this guide They ciffer from that of the 2nd Edition because the system is ‘ested with higher surge impulses. tt follows that the Voltage Protection Rates (3rd, Ed.) are higher than ‘the corresponding Clamping Voltages (2nd, Ed) CPS Block panels offer all-mode protection (I-G N-G, LL, N-L) with individually replaceable surge blocks (modules). And it isto a great extend on the basis of this very concept that the CPS Block does actually extend its functional features reaching beyond the classical TVSS approach with: Visual clagnostics of remaining % of protection((AC) Extended discharge performance (MDS) Improved MOY overcurrent security (MDS) Efficient preventive maintenance (EPM) with surge being replaced per mode, rather than per phase=m IAC Intelligent Aging Control MODULE REMAINING PERCENTAGE (%) OF PROTECTION CPS Block's surge protective modules are each made of an array of several MOV metal oxide varistors following the MDS Multi-Discharge System concept (explained on next page). MOVs are in charge of efficiently mitigating transients, Due to the very nature of discharges that are diverted to ground, varistors will inevitably tend to approach their end-of-life while carrying out their duty It is therefore important to perform diagnosis and maintenance operations in order to guarantee that the protection will indeed be operative at the very time of a transient event. Most TVSS systems provide remote relaying over dry contacts to convey information about a phase having ‘run out of protection’, Other TVSS products do also use a status LED per phase to inform whether itis sill protected or not In ation to all ese alarms, the CPS Block has been engineered to provide visual & comprehensive diagnostics with more accurate information about the remaining percentage (%) of protection per mode (CLLANN-G LG) rather than per phase Maintenance is a key issue in TVSS systems. The modular approach is thus an investment that definitely pays, especially when using the CPS Block. thanks to its IAC. Easy replacement of Surge Blocks. ‘And itis actually on this basis that the need for surge module replacement can not only best be decided upon, but also in a most efficient way It is hereby possible to replace just the module of the unprotected mode, rather than the entire protection of a phase (common mode & differential mode).And this will only be necessary ifthe percentage ($4) of remaining protection is critical, not before: replacing the right amount at the right time means efficiency. =a EPM Efficient Preventive Maintenance Not only must the visual assessment of the remaining (96) of protection be easy, but also must the replacement of the modules be straightforward as, in the CPS Block,ma MDS Multi-Discharge System INDIVIDUAL THERMAL-MECHANICAL DISCONNECTION OF EACH MOV “The CPS Block has been designed to provide high discharge rates along with high attenuation (clamping) rates of ‘ransient voltages thanks to the block concept. in which ‘mutiple varistors are arrayed together in paral, forming 2 redundant protection module. Modules will protect modes (L4, L-G.N-G,L-N) rather than phases IEEE C6241 states that 1OkA is a typical transient value at a service entrance. The reason why 240A surge rates are protected against that non-typical current magnitudes are likely to take place reaching much higher values TVSS systems must also protect against consecutive peaks, especially because of the nature of lightning storms. Is therefore important for aTVSS to withstand ruttiple discharges VSS systems that use redundant technology of varistors ‘ypicaly rely on builtin fuses to disconnect the entire module should a single MOV have reached its end-of-life getting shortcrcited Disconnection isin fact a widespread industrial safe-practice used with MOVs because of the short-circuit risk (very low) intrinsical to varistors that reach their end-of lie Thanks to the MDS technology the CPS Block cisconnects only that varistor that achieves its endo. Besides functionally complying with both the 2nd and 3rd Editons of UL1449, the CPS Block has been engineered to even comply with the IEC-61643 Low Voltage Surge Protective Device standard of the International Electrotechnical Comission. IEC does in this feld prescribe far more demanding tests than UL (Underwriters Laboratory) does, especially when it comes to testing the ability of equipment to withstand the Maximum Surge Current (Imax in terms of IEC). Markets worldwide use this value as a key parameter to structure the range of VSS products. ULI449 standards do however define no test involving this parameter, It follows that: Sr ‘600 Emi anh ~ aay ‘Wi a redundant secholoy al the protection fs disconnected, the ington le not protected ‘Doe ‘With an MDS cehnology oath damaged MOV sdconnected the insalation sll being protecze This protects against short-circuit overcurrent hazard without disconnecting the entire module. The main advantage is that the rest of varistors keep protecting the loads downstream from transients. It does thus extend the protection’ lifetime, efficiently using the available resources, In addition to this, tis well worth to mention that thermalmechanical disconnection is in itself a safer disconnection than just thermal disconnection, which many other TVSS systems use, Mmm IEC-61643 The Heavy Duty Test “The Max. Surge Current value with itch many equipments are labelled, does actually constitute no real measure of robustness, not even a vad indicator. The reason is that ‘most manufacturers cannot certificate ther systems to pass the Imax test according to IEC-61463, Some equipments will rot even withstand a single Max, Surge Current peak. IEC provides a well defned protocol to proof the ability ofthe protector to withstand the Imax value. This test consists of sequence of surge impulses 8/20 us, which values are scaled proportions ofthe Imax value, reaching. ‘the full Imax peak, (CPS Block has been tested to pass the Imax surge current test according to IEC 6 1643,=m More features and opti SURGE EVENT COUNTER, This optional electromechanical surge counter is supplied along with the EMI filter in the Plus version. ‘The system uses the induced energy from a shunted ‘transient surge in order to update the counter The counter does not need external or internal power supply. Reliability is thus out of quest Eira erty EMI/RFI FILTER. Nn This optional electromagnetic / radio-frequency interference filter is supplied with the Plus versions only, for suppression of disruptive electrical noise and low level transients, It follows that CPS Block does thus exhibit sine-wave tracking ability.
