UL 1449 THIRD Edition : 

UL 1449 THIRD Edition SPD TVSS Surge Arresters Combine TVSS and Surge Arresters into one UL Standard, UL 1449 3rd Edition renamed: Surge Protective Devices (SPDs) Effective: Sept 29, 2009 New SPD Types: Types 1, 2, 3 & 4 New Voltage Protection Ratings (VPRs) replace old-style Suppressed Voltage Ratings (SVRs) New I nominal ratings Bid Specifications become Obsolete as product evaluation & ratings change

UL 1449 THIRD Edition & 2008 NEC Art 285 : 

6 UL 1449 THIRD Edition & 2008 NEC Art 285 Changing term TVSS to SPD TVSS SPD Creates Types 1, 2, 3 & 4 SPDs Type 1 – Installed on line or load side of Main OCP - similar to what you knew as SSA, except now includes rigorous safety testing. Includes all OCP & safety apparatus inside SPD Type 2 – Installed on load side of Main OCP - similar to what you know as hardwired TVSS. May require external OCP Type 3 – Point of Utilization – direct plug in - similar to what you know as surge strips - 10 meters from panel (rational based on being IEEE Cat. A location) Type 4 – surge suppression components, could be basic component or complete module. Type 4 components can be tested for Type 1, Type 2 or Type 3 applications. X X

UL 1449 THIRD Edition : 

9 UL 1449 THIRD Edition Performance Test Format Changed New Testing uses Six (6) Times More Energy Old – 6kV / 500A Suppressed Voltage Ratings (SVR) New – 6kV / 3,000A Voltage Protection Ratings (VPR) 500A 3000A As surge amplitude goes up, clamping voltage goes up too Specs become obsolete Need new VPRs in specs

UL 1449 THIRD Edition : 

UL 1449 THIRD Edition I nominal Testing – In - (Nominal Discharge Current) - New Concept to USA – Originated from IEC 61643 - Duty Cycle Testing - 15 8x20s surges through every mode of three samples used for VPR testing Type 1 – 20kA or 10kA Type 2 – 20kA, 10kA, 5kA or 3kA Type 3 – 3kA Type 4 – Based on intended usage as Types 1, 2 or 3 UL 96A Master Label requires 20kA In from Type 1 or Type 2 SPD

APT offers a full breadth of Type 1 and Type 2 SPD’s. Our Type 1 SPD’s use Large Block 50kA MOV’s that have Thermal Protection and are very reliable and robust. Each Series offers protection which is ideal for remote locations and extreme duty applications where downtime is unacceptable, to models ideal for downstream applications. Our units offer protection from 50kA per phase up to 1000kA per phase. Advanced Protection Technologies

APT DIN Rail Surge Protection Devices : 

APT DIN Rail Surge Protection Devices APT AC DIN Rail mounted SPDs are designed for downstream load protection. They are parallel connected devices which utilize large block MOVs, housed in UL 94V-0 thermoplastic enclosures. Each device includes internal thermal disconnects and visual failure mode status indicators with optional relay contacts. These devices are intended for use in IEC Class II, UL 1449 Type 2, Type 4, and IEEE Category C, B & A load applications.. APT Low Voltage DIN Rail SPDs utilize a hybrid mix of Tranzorbs, inductors, gas tubes, and resistors for complete low-voltage/data protection. These products are intended for use on a wide range of low-voltage applications, protect up to 4 wires in a single enclosure, adhere to UL 497B and are IEC / CE compliant. Offered in a full range of AC service voltages; 120V Single Phase 120/208V 3-Phase Wye 120/240V Split Phase 480V 3-Phase Delta 230V Single Phase 277/480V 3-Phase Wye 240V 3-Phase Delta 347/600V 3-Phase Wye 277V Single Phase The following DC low voltage are also available: 5V / 4-wire 12V / 4-wire 24V / 4-wire 48V / 4-wire 60V / 4-wire
