Don't get caught without SURGE PROTECTION!R. J. McRep
Power or voltage surges are brief bursts of energy caused by a sudden change in the electrical conditions
of a circuit; they are virtually inevitable. Wherever electrical or electronic equipment is used, power surges
can and do occur. While often lasting only a millisecond, power surges can raise the voltage in electronic
circuits from a few hundred to as much as several thousand volts. They are one of the most severe,
common and immediate dangers to modern, sensitive electronic equipment. In fact, Business Week
estimates that power surges cost $26 billion a year in lost time, equipment repair and replacement costs.
The most well-known cause of power surges is electrical storms. When lightning strikes near power lines,
even if there is no direct contact, the rapid ionization of the air and the sheer amount of energy in the
lightning are enough to induce additional potential energy in the lines, causing a power surge.

Surge protective devices (SPDs) divert or limit surge currents to protect electrical equipment from over voltages caused by lightning or switching. SPDs have a low resistance path that allows surge energy to ground, then return to a high resistance after the surge. The document discusses the differences between surge arrestors and surge suppressors, explaining that arrestors protect distribution systems while suppressors protect sensitive electronics. It also notes that an SPD's rating does not depend on the panel size, as surges do not recognize panel size.

ABB LV Low Voltage Surge Arresters
ABB LOVOS-5 ABB LOVOS-10
ABB Surge Arresters for Low Voltage Overhead Line Protection
ABB low voltage surge arresters LOVOS-5 and LOVOS-10 are a new generation of LV surge arresters ensuring electrical protection of overhead lines, electric energy receivers, distributing transformers and low voltage electrical equipment. Specify and install ABB LOVOS type surge arresters to protect low voltage power equipment from the effects of lightning and switching overvoltages.
ABB low voltage surge arrester types LOVOS-5 and LOVOS-10 selection criteria : continuous operating voltage Uc, voltage protection level Up and energy absorption capability.
Applications for Low Voltage LV Surge Arresters
The ABB LOVOS range provides protection along LV overhead lines, cables, motors, switches, any equipment connected to the line, from the LV side of distribution transformers up to measuring instruments.
Typical places of installation
Low voltage switchgears, distribution transformers (LV side)
Transition points of insulated and uninsulated, overhead and underground lines and cables
Electricity service entrance locations to buildings (in cabinets or at poles)
At junctions (branching])
Every 500 / 1000 m of overhead line in locations of high lightning activity
At the end of dead-end feeder line
At the sealing ends of inserted cables
At any apparatuses connected to secondary voltage source
ABB LOVOS Low Voltage LV Surge Arresters
ABB LOVOS-5 and ABB LOVOS-10 Low Voltage LV Surge Arresters
The principal active element of ABB LV low voltage LOVOS surge arresters is a metal oxide varistor characterised by high non-linearity - at a working voltage mainly a capacity current flows smaller than 1 mA. Any voltage increase causes a large increase of current flowing through the varistor, leading in turn to immediate limitation of further voltage increase on arrester terminals. When the overvoltage disappears, the surge arrester immediately returns to its basic state. Surge arresters are equipped with a disconnecting device, that disconnects the surge arrester from the low voltage electricity network if it becomes damaged as the result of overvoltage of too high energy or inadmissable voltage increase in the system. If such a situation occurs then the bottom terminal of the disconnecting device is rejected by the spring inside - this terminal remains suspended on an insulation leash.

An improved modulation technique suitable for a three level flying capacitor ...IJECEIAES
This research paper introduces an innovative modulation technique for controlling a 3-level flying capacitor multilevel inverter (FCMLI), aiming to streamline the modulation process in contrast to conventional methods. The proposed
simplified modulation technique paves the way for more straightforward and
efficient control of multilevel inverters, enabling their widespread adoption and
integration into modern power electronic systems. Through the amalgamation of
sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM) with a high-frequency square wave
pulse, this controlling technique attains energy equilibrium across the coupling
capacitor. The modulation scheme incorporates a simplified switching pattern
and a decreased count of voltage references, thereby simplifying the control
algorithm.
Electric vehicle and photovoltaic advanced roles in enhancing the financial p...IJECEIAES
Climate change's impact on the planet forced the United Nations and governments to promote green energies and electric transportation. The deployments of photovoltaic (PV) and electric vehicle (EV) systems gained stronger momentum due to their numerous advantages over fossil fuel types. The advantages go beyond sustainability to reach financial support and stability. The work in this paper introduces the hybrid system between PV and EV to support industrial and commercial plants. This paper covers the theoretical framework of the proposed hybrid system including the required equation to complete the cost analysis when PV and EV are present. In addition, the proposed design diagram which sets the priorities and requirements of the system is presented. The proposed approach allows setup to advance their power stability, especially during power outages. The presented information supports researchers and plant owners to complete the necessary analysis while promoting the deployment of clean energy. The result of a case study that represents a dairy milk farmer supports the theoretical works and highlights its advanced benefits to existing plants. The short return on investment of the proposed approach supports the paper's novelty approach for the sustainable electrical system. In addition, the proposed system allows for an isolated power setup without the need for a transmission line which enhances the safety of the electrical network
Rainfall intensity duration frequency curve statistical analysis and modeling...bijceesjournal
Using data from 41 years in Patna’ India’ the study’s goal is to analyze the trends of how often it rains on a weekly, seasonal, and annual basis (1981−2020). First, utilizing the intensity-duration-frequency (IDF) curve and the relationship by statistically analyzing rainfall’ the historical rainfall data set for Patna’ India’ during a 41 year period (1981−2020), was evaluated for its quality. Changes in the hydrologic cycle as a result of increased greenhouse gas emissions are expected to induce variations in the intensity, length, and frequency of precipitation events. One strategy to lessen vulnerability is to quantify probable changes and adapt to them. Techniques such as log-normal, normal, and Gumbel are used (EV-I). Distributions were created with durations of 1, 2, 3, 6, and 24 h and return times of 2, 5, 10, 25, and 100 years. There were also mathematical correlations discovered between rainfall and recurrence interval.
Findings: Based on findings, the Gumbel approach produced the highest intensity values, whereas the other approaches produced values that were close to each other. The data indicates that 461.9 mm of rain fell during the monsoon season’s 301st week. However, it was found that the 29th week had the greatest average rainfall, 92.6 mm. With 952.6 mm on average, the monsoon season saw the highest rainfall. Calculations revealed that the yearly rainfall averaged 1171.1 mm. Using Weibull’s method, the study was subsequently expanded to examine rainfall distribution at different recurrence intervals of 2, 5, 10, and 25 years. Rainfall and recurrence interval mathematical correlations were also developed. Further regression analysis revealed that short wave irrigation, wind direction, wind speed, pressure, relative humidity, and temperature all had a substantial influence on rainfall.
Originality and value: The results of the rainfall IDF curves can provide useful information to policymakers in making appropriate decisions in managing and minimizing floods in the study area.
Comparative analysis between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquapon...bijceesjournal
The aquaponic system of planting is a method that does not require soil usage. It is a method that only needs water, fish, lava rocks (a substitute for soil), and plants. Aquaponic systems are sustainable and environmentally friendly. Its use not only helps to plant in small spaces but also helps reduce artificial chemical use and minimizes excess water use, as aquaponics consumes 90% less water than soil-based gardening. The study applied a descriptive and experimental design to assess and compare conventional and reconstructed aquaponic methods for reproducing tomatoes. The researchers created an observation checklist to determine the significant factors of the study. The study aims to determine the significant difference between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquaponics systems propagating tomatoes in terms of height, weight, girth, and number of fruits. The reconstructed aquaponics system’s higher growth yield results in a much more nourished crop than the traditional aquaponics system. It is superior in its number of fruits, height, weight, and girth measurement. Moreover, the reconstructed aquaponics system is proven to eliminate all the hindrances present in the traditional aquaponics system, which are overcrowding of fish, algae growth, pest problems, contaminated water, and dead fish.

7. What are the Causes of Surges?
Externally Generated Surges: 25% to 30%
• Lightning
• Direct damage
• Magnetic & electric fields
• Electromagnetic radiation
• Grid Infrastructure Problems
• Grid switching - evening vs daytime
• Downed or damaged power lines
• Blackouts or Intentional Power Outages
• Current inrush
Internally Generated Surges: 70% to 75%
• Inductive Load Switching
• Motors, HVAC compressors, elec. welders
• Constant degradation of equipment
8. The most dramatic
is a direct strike to
the column by
lightning. Since
a typical strike may
be >200kV and
carry >200kA, in
practical terms,
there is nothing that
can effectively be
done to prevent
serious damage or
destruction.
Far less common
in terms of
damage, surges
can also occur
on the power grid
from switching of
heavy electrical
loads nearby or
the sudden
interruption of the
supply.
Potentially much more damaging, is a lightning strike near to
the columns. This can cause transient overvoltages on both
main power lines and other data communication, signal or
telephone lines close by. Depending on the distance, the
strike might induce overvoltages as high as 10kV.

Surge Protection Selection Criteria
Two important areas to consider during the selection of a surge protector:
Performance: 1) surge current capacity or Imax and 2) clamping voltage or VPR
Safety: 1) the individual suppression circuit should be fused to clear an inoperative MOV during an extreme transient
event, and 2) provide overcurrent protection for the surge protector during a fault condition.
Every ABLE Power Products Surge Protector is built with Thermally Protected MOV’s
Surge current capacity or Imax is the maximum amount of surge current that a surge protector can
withstand and survive as tested by UL per 1449 standards. This level is used to indicate the protection
capacity of a particular surge protector design, and when specifying surge protection.

Voltage Protection Rating or VPR:
also referred to as clamping voltage, peak let
through or suppressed voltage rating, is the
amount of voltage a surge suppressor permits to
pass through it to the attached load, in this case an
LED driver, during a transient event. Clamping
voltage is a performance measurement of a surge
suppressor's ability to attenuate a transient. For
example, a surge suppressor might limit a 6,000V
surge so that only 1150V is ‘visible’ to the LED
driver. The clamping voltage is 1150V. This
performance value is confirmed by Underwriters
Laboratories during tests conducted while
evaluating a surge suppressor for listing.
Surge Protection Terminology
14. ABLE Power Products
www.ablepowerproducts.com Protecting the World’s LED Innovations
Other surge protection specifications and terminology to be aware of:
Protection Modes: 1-mode L-N vs 3-mode L-N, L-G, N-G
IEEE modes of protection: electrical paths where the SPD offers defense against transient overvoltages.
—For a single phase ac power SPD connecting to line, neutral, and ground conductors, the modes of protection can
be line-to-neutral (L-N), line-to-ground (L-G) and neutral-to-ground (N-G).
Surge Protection Terminology
16. ABLE Power Products
www.ablepowerproducts.com Protecting the World’s LED Innovations
Other surge protection specifications and terminology to be aware of:
Open Circuit Rating or Uoc :
It is open and not connected to a form a complete electrical path. Open circuit voltage represents a voltage source’s
full voltage because it doesn't share any of its voltage with a load.
Nominal Discharge Current or In :
The UL Nominal Discharge Current is defined as the peak value of 8/20 microsecond surge current conducted
through the SPD. The SPD must still function after 15 applied surges. The highest nominal discharge current rating by
UL is 20kA.
Joule Rating:
A Joule is a unit measurement of energy (Watt-seconds). For example, 60 joules is equivalent to a 60 watt light bulb
that is on for one second.
The amount of energy that the surge protection device can absorb (i.e. joules) does not mean that it is providing the
"best“ protection for your equipment. A joule rating is indicative of the MOV rating only. It does not take into
account the other parts of the surge protection device which also reduce the effects of a surge (i.e. fuses, printed
circuit board traces, wiring, gas tubes, etc.).
Surge Protection Terminology
17. ABLE Power Products
www.ablepowerproducts.com Protecting the World’s LED Innovations
Gas Discharge Tubes (GDT’s) and Metal Oxide Varistors (MOV’s):
GDT:
A sealed glass-enclosed device containing a special gas mixture trapped between two
electrodes, which conducts electric current after becoming ionized by a high voltage spike.
- Pros: can handle transients as high as 60kA, robust
- Cons: Slower to react, high let-through, higher cost
MOV:
A voltage dependent resistor – resistance decreases with rising voltage. MOV’s prevent damage
from transient events by acting as a voltage “clamp”, or limiting voltage to a desired level .
- Pros: Fast reaction, lower let-through, lower cost
- Cons: Shorter life, multiple MOV’s required for high current ratings
Combined GDT / MOV Circuit:
This circuit uses each component to do what each does best: the gas discharge tube diverts the
high energy portion of the transient and the MOV provides the fast, accurate clamping of the
low energy leading edge.
