DESCRIPTION

The 587B Low Profile (LP) Series of 120 Volt AC Surge Suppressors is designed for

use by the OEM, equipment installer and or maintenance contractor. These modules

employ a three stage technology proven to be the most cost effective and reliable

method in protecting sensitive electronic equipment from over voltage transients.

This series is designed to protect AC powered equipment from the 6,000 Volt peak

open circuit voltage and 3,000 Amp short circuit current as defined in ANSI/IEEE

C62.41, Category CI.

The 587BxxxLP Series offers a high degree of protection against 120 VAC line EMI

noise. It is ideal for protecting 400 Volt components because the solid state TVS

technology assures that the line-to-neutral voltage will not exceed 400 Volts. While

the modules are designed for transient voltage protection, the advanced circuitry will

also attenuate the amplitude and slow the rate of rise of high frequency noise acting

as an EMI filter. The 587BxxxLP Series includes common mode and differential

mode protection, which are effective in reducing interference from line to equipment

and are effective in reducing equipment generated noise to meet FCC, VDE and CSA

interference requirements

Figures 1 and 2 are photographs of digitized waveforms

showing the typical clamping action of a 15 ampere module.

A 12 Ohm resistor is used to represent a 10 Amp equipment

load. The load is then subjected to the ANSI/IEEE C62.41

Category CI test conditions (6,000V/3,000A). These photo-

graphs contrast the effect on equipment with and without the

protector.
