Selection of SPDs

Example 2. c is the most common distribution of current: i.e. 40% to the structure
having the lower earthing resistance and 10% to the one with the higher resistance,
and equivalent distribution of current along the individual conductors. In reality
the specific installation to be protected may not be identical to one of the preceding
examples, in which case the closest one should be chosen and the maximum
expected current / pole of the SPD used.
General rules to be adopted:
For three-phase TT systems select:
UOC (1,2/50)
ISC (8/20)
4 kV
2 kA
2 kV
1 kA
1 kV
0,5 kA
0,5 kV
0,25 kA
UOC and ISC are values with which EMC immunity is tested.

Selection of SPDs

The protection level of SPDs also determines the length of the conductors.
The length of the conductors contributes an additional inductive voltage drop
as follows:
a

device
U = (L a di) / dt
U = 5 H a (1 kA / s) = 5 kV
b
=5 m
L=5 H
=a+b
To eliminate the effect of lead length, these should be kept as short as possible,
or a V-type connection to the SPDs hould be used, as shown below:
Uprot Ui
Uprot = Up + U
Uprot = 1,3 kV + 5 kV
Uprot = 6,3 kV
Uprot = Ui (category I)
Additional SPD
or reduce length
of connection conductors
Rule: the cross sectional area of the earthing conductor used to install and SPD
should be not less than:
16 mm2 - SPD class I
6 mm2 - SPD class II, III
or in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
