IEEE C62.45-2002 pdf download IEEE Recommended Practice on Surge Testing for Equipment Connected to Low-Voltage (1000 V and Less) AC Power Circuits
Regardless of the particular surge specification, equipment connected to the power system have to be capableof satisfactory operation, or at least survival, under these surge voltages or surge currents, with or withoutadditional protection as the case may be. The assignment of withstand level remains the prerogative andresponsibility of the users of this document. Surge testing is therefore required to demonstrate this capability.To illustrate the process of surge testing procedures, Figure l shows a flow diagram of the guidingconsiderations that are essential to obtaining reliable test results while enhancing operator safety.
ote that the assignment of withstand levels for equipent is not included in the scope of this recommendedpractice. Surge testing on signal or data interfaces is also not included in the scope of this recommendedpractice, but should not be overlooked in the complete evaluation of specific equipment.
2.References
In this document, two types of references” are used: those that are directly related to the subject beingdiscussed and often necessary to consult when using this guide–true references–and those that providesupporting information to the subject being discussed-bibliographic citations. For the convenience of thereader in not breaking the pace of reading to look up the citation, yet have some indication on what matter isbeing referenced, “references and “citations” are briefly identified in the text as described below.
The first type, references, contains information that is mplicitly adopted in the present document. Completeimplementation of any recommendations or validation of a statement made in this recommended practicewould require the reader to consult that reference for the details of the subject. This first type is introduced inthe text as (Document identity), and the listing is provided below, in this clause.
The second type, bibliographic citations, is not essential to implementation of a recommendation orcomprehensive validation, but it is provided for the use of readers seeking more detailed information orjustification. This second type is introduced in the text as (Author, date (B#), and the listing is provided inAnnex D.
