G. Surge Current Capacity: The minimum SPD surge current capacity, per NEMA LS-1 1992 shall be as follows: Model 40 80 80S Surge Rating Per Mode 65 kA 65 kA 80kA Surge Rating Per Phase (L-N or L-L + L-G) 65 kA 80 kA 80 kA

H. Response Time: The typical response time of all suppression components shall be 0.5 ns. I. Joule Rating: The SPD system shall provide a joule rating that meets or exceeds the requirements of ANSI/IEEE C62.41 Category C delivery capability. 1.4 Environmental Requirements A. Storage Temperature: B. Operating Temperature: C. Relative Humidity: D. Audible Noise: E. Operating Altitude: F. Magnetic Fields: -55 to +85 C (-67 to +187 F) -40 to +50 C (-40 to +122 F) 0% to 95% The unit shall not generate any appreciable noise. 0 to 14,000 feet above sea level. The unit shall not generate any appreciable magnetic fields, and shall be suitable for use directly inside computer rooms.

PART 2 PRODUCT 2.1 System Description The system shall be constructed arrays of metal oxide varistors (MOVs) which have been tested and matched to assure surge current sharing. Use of other surge protective devices: gas tubes, silicon avalanche diodes, or selenium cells are unacceptable since the failure of such devices could cause interruption of normal power to connected loads.
