Low-voltage surge protective devices - Part 22: Surge protective devices connected to telecommunications and signalling networks - Selection and application principles

IEC 61643-22:2015 describes the principles for the selection, operation, location and coordination of SPDs connected to telecommunication and signalling networks with nominal system voltages up to 1 000 V r.m.s. a.c. and 1 500 V d.c. This standard also addresses SPDs that incorporate protection for signalling lines and power lines in the same enclosure (so called multiservice SPDs). This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2004. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
- Update the use of multiservice SPDs (Article 8);
- Comparison between SPD classification of IEC 61643-11 and IEC 61643-21 (7.3.3);
- Consideration of new transmission systems as PoE (Annex F);
- EMC requirements of SPDs (Annex G);
- Maintenance cycles of SPDs (Annex I).

and might be implemented into the equipment by market.

Annex B (informative) Current limiting components
B.2.3.2 Heat coils
Replace contents under B.2.3.2 as follows:
Heat coils are thermally activated mechanical components with normally a series and shunt
connection on the line being protected. Their function is to divert current at the circuit
connection point, thereby preventing this current from flowing through the protected
equipment, as shown in Figure B.3. Normally they are constructed using a grounding contact
held in its non-operative position by solder. A heat source, generally a coil of resistance wire
and a spring, force the grounding contact to ground when the solder melts.
The source of heat is the unwanted line current flowing through the coil of resistance wire.
The resistance of communication-type heat coils is typically 4,0 Ω, with a range between
0,4 Ω and 21 Ω. The contact arrangement is such that once the heat coil contacts are closed
(operated) the current flows to earth directly and bypasses the coils.
Heat coils are normally single-operating component. There is no means to restore the line to
its operating state other than the replacement of the item containing the heat coil. Heat coils
have been designed that are manually resettable, not requiring replacement of the SPD. Their
use is generally restricted for application in areas where induced currents from 50 Hz power
systems are frequent.
It is also possible to construct current-interrupting heat coils, which open circuit as a result of
overcurrent.

Annex J (informative) Earth potential rise (EPR)
J.2 Causes of EPR
Replace text under J.2 as follows:
Power related EPR is caused by a low frequency, 50 Hz fault current flowing through a ground
grid or the earth via a distribution line power cross to a tree or other earthing paths or utility
switching of power lines. The duration of this event may last from fractions of a second to
many minutes.
Lightning related EPR is caused by a fast rising current of many kA with rise times in nano
seconds to micro seconds and pulse widths in micro seconds to milli seconds flowing through
a ground grid or the earth.
Electrified railways also cause EPR.
