Surge Protection

Course Information:
This one-day course covers the protection against voltage disturbances and Electromagnetic disturbances and the subjects to be covered on the day:

• Protection against over-voltages of atmospheric origin (lightning)
• Protection against over-voltages generated by the equipment within the installation (switching of inductive loads)
• Consequential levels of protection (consequences and risk assessment calculations the CRL equation)
• Sources of electromagnetic disturbances
• Selection and erection of surge protective devices
• Connection of surge protective devices
• Typical installation methods of a surge protective device in a power distribution board
• The application of SPDs using the lightning protection zone concept (LPZ)
• Examples of best and bad practice of installation
• Ongoing inspection and test
• Performance values as defined in section 534 for the surge protection device assembly (SPDA)
• SPDs in non-LV circuits for example, Ethernet, CCTV, Electric Vehicles and communication systems
