EN 61643-311:2013

Components for low-voltage surge protective devices - Part 311: Performance requirements and test circuits for gas discharge tubes (GDT)

IEC 61643-311:2013 is applicable to gas discharge tubes (GDT) used for overvoltage protection in telecommunications, signalling and low-voltage power distribution networks with nominal system voltages up to 1 000 V (r.m.s.) a.c. and 1 500 V d.c..They are defined as a gap, or several gaps with two or three metal electrodes hermetically sealed so that gas mixture and pressure are under control. They are designed to protect apparatus or personnel, or both, from high transient voltages. This standard contains a series of test criteria, test methods and test circuits for determining the electrical characteristics of GDTs having two or three electrodes. This standard does not specify requirements applicable to complete surge protective devices, nor does it specify total requirements for GDTs employed within electronic devices, where precise coordination between GDT performance and surge protective device withstand capability is highly critical. This second edition of IEC 61643-311 cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2001. It constitutes a technical revision. Specific changes with respect to the previous edition are: Addition of performance values. Key words: gas discharge tubes (GDT), overvoltage protection in telecommunications, signalling and low-voltage power distribution networks, nominal system voltages up to 1 000 V (r.m.s.) a.c. and 1 500 V d.c.

Composants pour parafoudres basse tension - Partie 311: Exigences de performance et circuits d'essai pour tubes à décharge de gaz (TDG)

La CEI 61643-311:2013 est applicable aux tubes à décharge de gaz (TDG) utilisés pour la protection contre les surtensions des réseaux de télécommunications, de signaux et de distribution basse tension, dont les tensions nominales de réseau sont inférieures ou égales à 1 000 V (valeurs efficaces) c.a. et 1 500 V c.c. Ils sont définis comme un éclateur ou des éclateurs avec deux ou trois électrodes métalliques hermétiquement scellées de sorte que le mélange et la pression de gaz soient sous contrôle. Ils sont conçus pour protéger des matériels ou des personnes, ou les deux, contre des surtensions transitoires élevées. La présente norme contient une série de critères d'essai, de méthodes d'essai et de circuits d'essai destinés à déterminer les caractéristiques électriques des TDG comportant deux ou trois électrodes. La présente norme ne traite pas des exigences applicables aux parafoudres complets, ni de la totalité des exigences relatives aux TDG utilisés dans les dispositifs électroniques, où une coordination précise entre les performances des TDG et la résistance des parafoudres aux surtensions est primordiale. Cette deuxième édition de la CEI 61643-311 annule et remplace la première édition publiée en 2001 dont elle constitue une révision technique. Les changements spécifiques par rapport à l'édition précédente sont: l'ajout des valeurs de performance. Mots clés: tubes à décharge de gaz (TDG), protection contre les surtensions des réseaux de télécommunications, de signaux et de distribution basse tension, tensions nominales sont inférieures ou égales à 1 000 V (valeurs efficaces) c.a. et 1 500 V c.c

Sestavni deli za nizkonapetostne naprave za zaščito pred prenapetostnimi udari - 311. del: Zahtevane lastnosti, preskusni tokokrogi in metode preskušanja plinskih odvodnikov (IEC 61643-311:2013)

Ta del standarda IEC 61643 se uporablja za s plinom polnjene cevi (GDT), ki se uporabljajo za prenapetostno zaščito pri telekomunikacijah, signaliziranju in nizkonapetostnih razdelilnih omrežjih z nazivnimi sistemskimi napetostmi do 1000 V (efektivne izmenične napetosti) izmenične napetosti in 1500 V enosmerne napetosti. Določene so kot reža ali več rež z dvema ali tremi nepredušno zatesnjenimi kovinskimi elektrodami, tako sta zmes plinov in tlak pod nadzorom. Zasnovane so tako, da ščitijo aparat ali osebje ali oboje pred visokimi tranzientnimi napetostmi. Ta standard vsebuje niz preskusnih meril, preskusnih metod in preskusnih tokokrogov za ugotavljanje električnih značilnosti s plinom polnjenih cevi z dvema ali tremi elektrodami. Ta standard ne določa zahtev, ki se uporabljajo za celotne prenapetostne zaščitne naprave, niti ne določa skupnih zahtev za s plinom polnjene cevi, ki se uporabljajo znotraj elektronskih naprav, kjer je natančna koordinacija med delovanjem s plinom polnjenih cevi in odpornostjo prenapetostne zaščitne naprave izjemno kritična. Ta del standarda IEC 61643 – ne obravnava elementov za pritrditev in njihovega vpliva na značilnosti s plinom polnjenih cevi. Navedene značilnosti se uporabljajo izključno za s plinom polnjene cevi, ki so pritrjene na načine, opisane za preskuse; – ne obravnava mehanskih dimenzij; – ne obravnava zahtev za zagotavljanje kakovosti; – morda ne zadostuje za s plinom polnjene cevi, ki se uporabljajo pri visoki frekvenci (>30 MHz); – ne obravnava elektrostatičnih napetosti; –ne obravnava komponent hibridne prenapetostne zaščite ali sestavljenih naprav s cevmi, polnjenimi s plinom.
