Introduction  

Properly routing cables is crucial for surge protection in industrial and commercial electrical installations. Cables that are poorly routed; cables that are too long; and cables that have unnecessary loops can cause a higher inductive voltage drop, which in turn reduces the effectiveness of the surge protector.

When lightning strikes or when switch surges occur, incorrectly routed cables can subject PLCs, control panels, switchgear and other sensitive electrical equipment to dangerous voltages that will cause malfunctioning, breakdowns, losses and safety hazards.

It is vital for the SPD to have short and straight connections and for cables to be separated from each other so as to increase safety and performance of the system.

Introduction  

Reliable electrical systems are vital for industrial facilities, commercial properties, data halls, and electricity supply stations. Lightning bolts and fluctuations during switching operations can harm delicate equipment, stop work processes, and expose to electrical dangers.

Knowledge of the distinct characteristics of the 10/350 µs surge wavelength and that of the 8/20 µs one is important for the selection of devices that protect equipment against voltage spikes (SPDs). These types of waveform are responsible for voltage surge processes and are essential for the introduction of effective lightning protection systems.

Understanding 10/350 µs and 8/20 µs Surge Waveforms  

The 10/350 µs waveform represents a lightning impulse current with a 10 µs front time and a 350 µs time to half value. It is used to test Type 1 SPDs designed to handle partial lightning currents. Its longer duration represents a higher charge transfer and specific energy than an 8/20 µs impulse at the same peak current.

The 8/20 µs waveform has an 8 µs front time and a 20 µs time to half value. It is commonly used to test Type 2 SPDs against induced lightning surges and switching transients.

Type 1 SPDs are typically installed at electrical service entrances where partial lightning currents may occur. Type 2 SPDs are commonly installed in distribution boards to limit transient overvoltages affecting connected equipment.

Electric installations that are susceptible to lightning strikes can be subjected to surge currents with extraordinarily high energies capable of destroying switchgear, control panels, automatons as well as sensitive electronic devices. A Type 1 SPD has the ability to absorb the lightning current at the point of entry into an electric installation. Therefore, awareness of Iimp in a Type 1 SPD is essential for ensuring electrical safety and uninterrupted operation of devices.

What Is Iimp?  

Iimp means impulse current. It indicates the lightning current handling capability of a Type 1 SPD and is specified using a 10/350 µs current waveform. The value is expressed in kiloamperes.
