DESCRIPTION

The 587B Series of 120 Volt AC Surge Suppressors is designed for use by the OEM,

equipment installer and or maintenance contractor. These modules employ a three

stage technology proven to be the most cost effective and reliable method in protect-

ing sensitive electronic equipment from over voltage transients.

This series is designed to protect AC powered equipment from the 6,000 Volt peak

open circuit voltage and 3,000 Amp short circuit current as defined in ANSI/IEEE

C62.41, Category C1.

The 587B Series offers a high degree of protection against 120 VAC EMI line noise. It

is ideal for protecting 400 Volt components because the solid state TVS technology

assures that the line-to-neutral voltage will not exceed 400 Volts. While the modules

are designed for transient voltage protection, the advanced circuitry will also attenuate

the amplitude and slow the rate of rise of high frequency noise acting as an EMI filter.

The 587B Series includes differential mode and common mode protection, which is

effective in reducing interference from line to equipment and are effective in reducing

equipment generated noise to meet FCC, VDE and CSA interference requirements.

Figures 1 and 2 are photographs of digitized waveforms

showing the typical clamping action of a 16 ampere module.

A 12 Ohm resistor is used to represent a 10 Amp equipment

load. The load is then subjected to the ANSI/IEEE C62.41

Category CI test conditions (6,000V/3,000A). These photo-

graphs contrast the effect on equipment with and without the

protector.
