Where the current waveshape is different from the exponential waveform of Figure 21 of Section 3, the curves of
Figure 5 can be used by converting the pulse duration on the
basis of equivalent energy. This is easily done using the constants given in Figure 2. For example, suppose the actual
current measured has a triangular waveform with a peak
current of 10A, a peak voltage of 340V and an impulse duration of 500s.

In high power industrial circuits the line currents are generally so high as to rule out the use of a line fuse for varistor
protection. The fuse may not clear under a varistor fault condition and would allow varistor failure. In low power (5-20A)
applications it may be feasible to use the line fuse, FL, only.
Use of a line fuse, FL, rather than FV, does not present the
problem of having the fuse arc voltage being applied across
the circuit. Conversely, with FV alone, the fuse arc voltage
adds to the varistor voltage, increasing the VC, the transient
clamp voltage. Since some fuses can have peak arc voltages in excess of twice peak working voltage, fuse clearing
can have a significant effect on protection levels.
B) If varistor fails, fuse clearing limits I2t applied to varistor values below that required for package rupture.
C) Fuse is rated at 130VRMS.
D) Fuse provides current limiting for solid-state devices.
Based on the above, a Carbone-Ferraz 12ARMS, 130VRMS,
Class FA fuse is tentatively selected. The minimum melting
I2t and maximum clearing I2t curves for the 12A fuse are
shown superimposed on the varistor characteristics.
This fuse is guaranteed to melt at an I2t of 40% above the
estimated worst-case transient. Upon melting, clearing I2t
and clearing time will depend upon available fault current
from the 130VRMS line. Table 2 lists clearing times for the
selected fuse versus available prospective circuit current.

SOLUTION
Add a varistor to the transformer secondary to clamp the
transformer inductive transient voltage spike. Select the
lowest voltage Harris Varistor that is equal to or greater
than the maximum high line secondary AC voltage. The
V130LA types fulfills this requirement.
Determine the peak suppressed transient voltage produced by the transient energy source. This is based on
the peak transient current to the suppressor, assuming the
worst-case condition of zero load current. Zero load current is normally a valid assumption. Since the dynamic
transient impedance of the Harris Varistor is generally
quite low, the parallel higher impedance load path can be
neglected.

In the example, RC is 30 and the relay contacts are conducting nearly 1A. The contacts will draw an arc upon

Noise is an electromechanical system is a commonly experienced result of interrupting current by mechanical contacts.
When the switch contacts open, a hot cathode arc may occur
if the current is high enough. On the other hand, low current
will permit switch opening without an arc, but with ringing of
circuit resonances. As a consequence, voltages can exceed
the contact gap breakdown resulting in a replica of the old
spark gap transmitter. It is the low current case that produces
the most serious noise disturbances which can result in malfunctions or damage to electrical equipment. These pulses
cause noise problems on adjacent lines, trigger SCRs and
triacs, and damage semiconductors. In addition, they can
disrupt microprocessor operation causing memory to be lost
and vital instructions to be missed.

The inductor drives the collector voltage up when the transistor base is grounded (turning off). The inductor forces
current to flow until the energy stored in its field is dissipated. This energy is dissipated in the reverse bias condition of the transistor and is sufficient to cause breakdown
(indicated by a sudden collapse of collector voltage during
the pulse).

Frequently, the cause of motor failures can be traced to insulation breakdown of the motor windings. The source of the
transients causing the breakdown may be from either internal magnetic stored energy or from external sources. This
section deals with the self-generated motor transients due to
motor starting and circuit breaker operation. Externally generated transients and their control are covered in Section 2.

SOLUTION
Consult Figure 30 along with Table 4. Standard varistors
having the required voltage ratings are the 320VRMS rated
models. This allows a 20% high-line voltage condition on
the nominal 460V line-to-line voltage, or 266V line-neutral
voltage. Figure 30 shows a two-pole 75hp, wye-connected
induction motor, at the running condition, has 52J of
stored magnetic energy per phase. Either a V320PA40
series or a V321HA32 series varistor will meet this
requirement. The HA series Harris Varistor provides a
greater margin of safety, although the PA series Harris
Varistor fully meets the application requirements. Three
varistors are required, connected directly across the motor
terminals as shown in Figure 33.

The supply shown can provide 2ARMS of short-circuit current and has a 1A circuit breaker. A C106D SCR having a
4ARMS capability is chosen. Triggering will require at least
0.4V gate-to-cathode, and no more than 0.8V at 200A at
25oC ambient.
VL-L
SOLUTION
Check the MA series Harris Varistor specifications for a
device capable of supporting 240V peak. The V270MA4B
can handle 2 (171VRMS) = 242V. According to its
specification of 270V 10%, the V270MA4B will conduct
1mADC at no less than 243V. The gate-cathode resistor can
be chosen to provide 0.4V (the minimum trigger voltage) at
1mA, and the SCR will not trigger below 243V. Therefore,
RGK should be less than 400. The highest value 5%
tolerance resistor falling below 400 is a 360 resistor,
which is selected. Thus, RGK is 378 maximum and 342
minimum. Minimum SCR trigger voltage of 0.4V requires a
varistor of 0.4V/378, or 1.06mA for a minimum varistor
voltage of 245V. The maximum voltage to trigger the
circuit is dependent upon the maximum current the varistor
is required to pass to trigger the SCR. For the C106 at
25oC, this is determined by calculating the maximum
current required to provide 0.8V across a parallel resistor
comprised of the 360 RGK selected and the equivalent
gate-cathode SCR resistor of 0.8V/200A, since the C106
requires a maximum of 200A trigger current. The SCR
gate input resistance is 4k and the minimum equivalent
gate-cathode resistance is the parallel combination of
4k and RGK(MIN), or 360 -5%, 342. The parallel

The transients which may occur on residential and commercial AC lines are of many waveshapes and of varying
severity in terms of peak voltage, current, or energy. For
suppressor application purposes, these may be reduced
to three categories.
First, the most frequent transient might be the one
represented by a 30kHz or 100kHz ring wave. This test
surge is defined by an oscillatory exponentially decaying
voltage wave with a peak open circuit voltage of 6kV. This
wave is considered representative of transients observed
and reported by studies in Europe and North America.
These transients can be caused by distant lightning
strikes or distribution line switching. Due to the relatively
high impedance and short duration of these transients,
peak current and surge energy are lower than the second
and third categories.

direct stroke of a given severity can be determined. However, since the lightning current divides in many paths, the
peak current available at an AC outlet within a building is
much less than the total current of the stroke. The standard impulse used to represent lightning and to test surge
protective devices is an 8/20s current waveshape as
defined by ANSI Standard C68.2, and also described in
ANSI/IEEE Standard C62.41-1991 and IEC 664-1 (1992).
A third category of surges are those produced by the discharge of energy stored in inductive elements such as
motors and transformers. A test current of 10/1000s
waveshape is an accepted industry test impulse and can
be considered representative of these surges.
