EN IEC 61643-331:2018

Components for low-voltage surge protective devices - Part 331: Performance requirements and test methods for metal oxide varistors (MOV)

IEC 61643-331:2017E) is a test specification for metal oxide varistors (MOV), which are used for applications up to 1 000 V AC or 1 500 V DC in power line, or telecommunication, or signalling circuits. They are designed to protect apparatus or personnel, or both, from high transient voltages. This specification applies to MOVs having two electrodes and hybrid overvoltage protection components. This specification also does not apply to mountings and their effect on the MOV’s characteristics. Characteristics given apply solely to the MOV mounted only in the ways described for the tests. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2003. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) Update of the nominal varistor voltage test method; b) Addition of thermally protected varistors – component symbol and test methods; c) Addition of nominal discharge current – test methods; d) Addition of voltage ratings for disc types (Table 1); e) Addition of test currents for clamping voltage of disc types (Table 2); f) Addition of typical voltage ratings of SMD types (Table 3); and g) Addition of Limited current and temporary overvoltage tests for thermally protected varistors. Keywords: metal oxide varistors (MOV), high transient voltages.

Composants pour protection par parafoudres basse tension - Partie 331: Exigences de performance et méthodes d’essai pour les varistances à oxyde métallique (MOV)

IEC 61643-331:2017 traite des spécifications d'essais relatifs aux varistances à oxyde métallique (VOM), utilisées pour des applications sur des lignes d'alimentation, de télécommunication ou des circuits de signalisation de 1 000 V CA ou 1 500 V CC au plus. Elles sont conçues pour protéger le matériel, le personnel ou les deux des tensions transitoires élevées. Ces spécifications s'appliquent aux VOM qui disposent de deux électrodes et de composants hybrides de protection contre la surtension. Par ailleurs, ces spécifications ne s'appliquent pas aux supports de fixation et à leur effet sur les caractéristiques des VOM. Les caractéristiques présentées ne s'appliquent qu'aux VOM montées selon les méthodes décrites pour les essais. Cette deuxième édition annule et remplace la première édition parue en 2003. Cette édition constitue une révision technique. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente: a) mise à jour de la méthode d'essai de tension nominale de varistance; b) ajout des varistances à protection thermique – symbole de composant et méthodes d'essai; c) ajout du courant nominal de décharge – méthodes d'essai; d) ajout de caractéristiques de tensions pour les types à disques (Tableau 1); e) ajout de courants d'essai pour la tension d'écrêtage des types à disques (Tableau 2); f) ajout de caractéristiques de tensions typiques des types de CMS (Tableau 3); et g) ajout d'essais en courants limités et surtensions temporaires pour les varistances à protection thermique. Mots clés : varistances à oxyde métallique (VOM), tensions transitoires élevées

Sestavni deli za nizkonapetostne naprave za zaščito pred prenapetostnimi udari - 311. del: Zahteve za lastnosti in preskusne metode za kovinsko-oksidne varistorje (MOV)

V tem delu standarda IEC 61643 je obravnavana uporaba izolacijskih transformatorjev (SIT), ki se uporabljajo pri telekomunikacijskih transformatorjih z ravnmi signala do 400 V od vršne vrednosti do vršne vrednosti. Ti transformatorji imajo visoko nazivno udarno napetost z zaslonom med vhodnim in izhodnim navitjem ali brez njega. Izolacijski transformatorji (SIT) so komponente za zaščito pred prenapetostnimi udari in se uporabljajo za širjenje običajnega načina napetostnih udarov. V tem dokumentu so opisani izbor izolacijskih transformatorjev, načela uporabe in povezane informacije. Ta dokument ne obsega komunikacijskih transformatorjev elektroenergetskih vodov.
