The specialist in overvoltage protection

CITELs only business and expertise is to protect networks and equipment from transient overvoltages, in particular those induced by
lightning. For this, CITEL manufactures two complementary products lines:
- Gas discharge tubes (or GDTs) are the basic passive components used to protect telephone exchanges and equipment from voltage surges; they are generally installed on telephone networks by
telecommunication operators.
- Surge Protection Devices (or SPDs) are units combining several protection components. They may be
used by the installer or by the end customer. They are designed to be incorporated in an installation to
protect all electric, electronic, and data-processing equipment from transient overvoltages.
X. Delorme
Transient overvoltages
The users of electric, electronic equipment and telephone and data-processing systems must face the problem of keeping this equipment in operation
in spite of the transient overvoltages induced by lightning.
There are several reasons:
Integration of electronic components makes the equipment more vulnerable.
Interruptions of service are unacceptable.
Data transmission networks cover large areas and are exposed to more
disturbances.
The origin of overvoltages

Transient overvoltages have four main causes :
Lightning
Industrial and switching surges
Electrostatic discharges (ESD)
Nuclear electromagnetic pulses (NEMP)
Overvoltages differ in amplitude, duration and frequency.
While protection against power surges caused by lightning or handling will
require the use of surge protectors systems, ESD or IEMN issues are
far more specic and require other adapted solutions.
Lightning
Lightning, investigated since Benjamin Franklins rst research in 1749,
has paradoxically become a growing threat to our highly electronic society.
Lightning formation
A lightning ash is generated between two zones of opposite charge, typically between two storm clouds or between one cloud and the ground.
The ash may travel several miles, advancing toward the ground in
successive leaps: the leader creates a highly ionized channel. When it
reaches the ground, the real ash or return stroke takes place.
A current in the tens of thousands of Amperes will then travel from
ground to cloud or vice versa via the ionized channel.
Direct effects
At the moment of the discharge, there is an impulse current ow that
ranges from 5,000 to 200,000 Ampere peak, with a rise time of about few
microseconds. This direct effect may be considered as a small factor in
damaging electric and electronic systems, because it is highly localized.
The best protection is still the classic lightning rod or Lightning Protection System (LPS), designed to capture the discharge current and conduct
it to a particular point.
Indirect effects
Industrial and switching surges
There are three types of indirect electrical effects :
This term covers phenomena caused by switching electric power sources

on or off.
Impact on overhead lines

Such lines are very exposed and may be struck directly by lightning, which
will rst partially or completely destroy the cables, then cause high surge
voltages that travel naturally along the conductors to line-connected
equipment. The extent of the damage depends on the distance between
the strike and the equipment.
Rise in ground potential
The ow of lightning in the ground causes earth potential increases that
vary according to the current intensity and the local earth impedance.
In an installation that may be connected to several grounds (e.g. a link
between buildings), a strike will cause a very large potential difference
and equipment connected to the affected networks will be destroyed or
severely disrupted.
Electromagnetic radiation
The ash may be regarded as an antenna several miles high carrying an
impulse current of several tenth of kilo-amperes, radiating intense electromagnetic elds (several kV/m at more than 1 km).
These elds induce strong voltages and currents in lines near or on equipment. The values depend on the distance from the ash and the properties
of the link.

radiation

Surges due to switching operations are caused by:

Starting motors or transformers
Neon and sodium light starters
Switching power networks
Switch bounce in an inductive circuit
Operation of fuses and circuit-breakers
Falling power lines...
These phenomena generate transients of several kV with rise times in the
order of a few microseconds, disturbing equipment in networks to which
the source of disturbance is connected.
Electrostatic overvoltages (ESD)
Electrically, a human being has a capacitance ranging from 100 to 300
picofarads, and can pick up a charge of as much as 15kV by walking on
a carpet, then touch some conducting object and be discharged in a few
nanoseconds, with a current of about ten Amperes. All integrated circuits
(CMOS, etc.) are quite vulnerable to this kind of disturbance, which is generally eliminated by shielding and grounding.
NEMP phenomena
(Nuclear ElectroMagnetic Pulses)
A high-altitude nuclear explosion, above the atmosphere, creates an intense electromagnetic eld (up to 50 kV/m in 10ns), radiated to a ground
area up to 1200 kilometers in radius.
In the ground, the eld induces very large transient overvoltages in power
and transmission lines, antennas, etc., destroying the terminal equipment
(power circuit, computer terminals, telephone equipment, etc.).
Rise in ground
potential
The eld rise may reach several kV/ns. While it is difcult to eliminate
all overvoltages induced by an electromagnetic pulse, there are ways to
reduce them and strengthen the systems to be protected. In spite of the
amplitude of the phenomenon, protection can be provided by shielding and
ltering/surge protection adapted to NEMP.

Effects of overvoltages
Standards
Overvoltages have many types of effects on electronic equipment; in

order of decreasing importance:
Destruction
Voltage breakdown of semiconductor junctions
Destruction of bonding of components
Destruction of tracks of PCBs or contacts
Destruction of triacs/thyristors by dV/dt.
Interference with operation
Random operation of latches, thyristors, and triacs
Erasure of memory
Program errors or crashes
Data and transmission errors
Premature ageing
Components exposed to overvoltages have a shorter life.
Because of the diversity and importance of transients, standards organizations have created specications for testing the effects of overvoltages
on equipment.
The phenomena were rst characterized and a series of standardized
waves created (1.2/50s voltage wave and 8/20s and 10/350s current
waveforms), then a number of standards dening surge arrester performance were issued, among them :

The Surge Protection Devices (or SPD : this is a generic name for any
device to protect from voltage surges) is a recognized and effective solution for the overvoltage problem. For greatest effectiveness, however, it
must be chosen according to the risk and installed in accordance with
the applicable standards.
DIN RAIL AC
Surge Protectors
DIN Rail AC power Surge Protectors
CITEL DS AC power Surge Protective Devices (SPD) are designed to meet all your surge protection needs for any low voltage installation.
These DIN rail mounted surge protectors are easy to install in any standardized distribution panel or control cabinets. The SPDs are equipped with a thermal
disconnection device and provide real-time fault indicators thus allowing complete operational safety.
DS surge protectors are available with several protection circuits to comply with even the most demanding installations and standards compliance requirements.
CITEL AC power surge protectors offer three levels of surge protection capacity that correspond to the different IEC or EN classes, i.e. Class I, II and III.
Standards
Operating principle
To ensure efcient and reliable performances, all CITELs AC power

surge protectors comply with the leading standards.
Relevant standards in the AC surge protection eld could be split into
3 types of documents:
CITEL surge protectors for AC network are based on zinc metal-oxide

varistors (MOV), the best compromise between a fast response time
(<25 ns) and a high discharge current capacity, which are the main
parameters to provide efcient protection.
Nevertheless the end of life of these varistors must be absolutely
monitored thus requiring the systematic use of built-in thermal disconnection devices (see Disconnection devices).

VG technology by CITEL
In order to improve the surge protection efciency, CITEL has developed a patented technology which combines a high energy varistor
(MOV) network and a specic gas tube (GSG). This specialized circuit
incorporated in the VG Type 1+2+3 surge protectors (DS150VG,
DS250VG, DUT250VG) or Type 2+3 (DS40VG) can achieve better performance of:
- Protection level,
- Life duration (due to the suppression of leakage current),
- Continuous operation and power quality (no follow current)
- End of life behavior.
For instance, these features allow it to reach, even with a single stage
of surge protection, the same protection efciency as a double stage
association (Type 1, Type 2 and Type 3 SPDs) (see page 13).
Surge protectors parameters

Surge protectors are dened by a serie of electrical specications
which will help the user to select the right protection specic to their
installation:
Operating voltage - Uc
The maximum continuous operating voltage (MCOV) Uc is the maximum r.m.s voltage which may be applied continuously to the SPD.
Temporary overvoltage - UT
The temporary overvoltage UT (TOV) is the maximum r.m.s. value the
surge protector can withstand during 5 seconds, without failure. In
many cases , this parameter UT is equal or superior to Uc.
An additional test is required for TT AC system, to simulate a temporary high voltage overvoltages (TOV) between Neutral and PE
(application of 1200 Vac, 300 A for 200 ms): the compliance with this
test requires the use of the CT2 diagram (specic gas tube between
N and PE).
Discharge current - In and Imax
The maximum discharge current (Imax), applicable to Type 2 SPD, is
the maximum impulse current 8/20 s a surge protector can withstand without destruction .
The nominal discharge current (In) is the level of impulse current a
surge protector Type 1 or Type 2 can withstand repeatedly (15 surges)
without destruction.
Impulse current - Iimp

The impulse current (Iimp), used in Class I test applicable to Type 1
SPDs, is the maximum impulse 10/350 s current a surge protector
can withstand without destruction. This test simulates the effect, on
AC power surge protectors, of a direct lightning strike on an installation.
Specic energy - W/R
Energy discharged during the ow of the surge current Iimp, during
the class I test. Expressed in KJ/ohm.
Total discharge current - Itotal
Total discharge current owing in the PE or PEN conductor of a multipolar surge protector.
Open circuit voltage - Uoc
This parameter is used only for Class III test, applicable to Type 3 SPD
and consists of the injection of a combination wave (1.2/50 s in open
circuit - 8/20 s in short circuit).
Level of protection - Up
Maximum residual voltage of the surge protector during an 8/20s
current waveform shot (at the maximum of the In or Iimp declared
current) or during a 1,2/50s @ 6kV voltage waveform shot test (if
required)..
Level of protection at In - Up-in
Residual voltage of the surge protector during an 8/20s current waveform shot at a determined value (In or Iimp). This value is lower than
the Up Protection level for all the VG type surge protector.
Short circuits capability - Isccr
The surge protection and its associated disconnector (Fuse) are tested
at a maximal short circuit current value (ex: 25kA) : This Isccr value
needs to be higher than the short circuit value of the network at the
installation point.
Follow on current extinction capability - I
This criteria is only devoted to surge protection using the air gap
technology:once they have red, these surge protectors conduct part
of the network current (follow on current) and need to interrupt it. This
behavior does not concern low voltage surge protector using Metal
Oxide Varistor technology.
10
Type of surge protectors

The AC power surge protectors are split into 3 categories by IEC
61643-11 and EN 61643-11 standards, with the following 3 classes of
tests. These different tests depend on the location of the surge protector in the AC network and on the external conditions.
Type 1 surge protectors
Type 1 surge protectors are designed to be installed where a direct
lightning strike risk is high, especially when the building is equipped
with external lightning protection system (LPS or lightning rod). In this
situation, EN 61643-11 and IEC 61643-11 standards require the Class I
test to be applied to surge protectors : this test is characterized by the
injection of 10/350 s impulse current in order to simulate the direct
lightning strike consequence. Therefore these Type 1 surge protectors must be especially powerful to conduct this high energy impulse
current.

In case of very sensitive or remote equipment, secondary stage of
surge protectors is required : these low energy SPDs could be Type 2
or Type 3 (see Coordination of surge protector page 19).
Type 3 SPDs are tested with a combination waveform (1,2/50 s - 8/20
s) following Class III test).
Surge protector combination

Surge Protectors incorporating VG technology provide protection equivalent to a coordination of a type 1 + type 2 + type 3 surge protector.
Advantages: reduces the cost and time of installation. Simplies selection (no calculation of coordination) (see page 13-14).

Type 2 surge protectors are designed to be installed at the entrance
of the installation, in the main switchboard, or close to sensitive terminals, on installations without LPS (lightning rods). These protectors
are tested following the Class II test from IEC61643-11 or EN61643-11
standards and based on 8/20 s impulse current injection.

Disconnection devices
Maintenance
In compliance with the standards, the AC power surge protectors are

equipped with external and internal disconnection devices in order to
provide total safety in case of failure.
DS surge protectors are designed for repetitive operation and do not

require specic maintenance. Nevertheless, in case of an extreme
event, a controlled end of life could occur (see above) and a maintenance operation must be performed .
2 types of devices are necessary :

Internal thermal security which will disconnect the surge protector
from the AC network in case of thermal runaway. In such a case, the
user will be warned about the trouble by an indicator (mechanical or
light) in front of the protector and will carry out the replacement of the
defective SPD.
External electrical disconnection (fuses or breaker) to disconnect the
surge protector from the AC network in case of internal short circuit,
e.g. due to an excessive impulse current. The rating of the external
fuses (or breaker) are in relation with the discharge capability of the
SPD and the prospective short-circuit current of the installation and
must be tested together with the surge protector in order to ensure
compliance of the short-circuit current withstand test (Isccr parameter). To ease the selection of these components, the rating and type of
fuses (or breaker) are mentioned in the datasheet and in the installation instructions of each SPD (see associated fuses page 15).
Pluggable design
The design of some DS surge protectors (DS10, DS40, DS240, DS70R,
DS130R) is based on the use of a pluggable module that plugs into
a matching receptacle. This makes replacement, and checking very
easy without impairing the protection function. On multipolar surge
protectors, the possibility of replacing a single pole makes rehabilitating a surge protector less expensive.
The plug-in module is identied with a color label in relation with the
type (Black = Type 1 ; Red = Type 2 ; Blue = Type 2 low power or Type 3)
and are keyed for operating voltage, in order to avoid misapplications.
Signaling
DS surge protectors are equipped with a failure indicator (mechanical or light) linked to the internal thermal disconnector : in case of
safety disconnection, the indicator will switch on and the SPD must
be replaced.
Remote Signaling
Most DS surge protectors are available in remote signaling versions. This feature, which allows remote checking of the status of the
surge protector, is especially important when the products are hard to
reach or unsupervised.
The system consists of an auxiliary changeover contact that is activated if the surge protector module changes status.
This lets the user monitor :
- the good operation of the SPD
- the presence of the plug-in modules (if any)
- the end of life (disconnection) of the surge protector.

VG Technology for AC
and Photovoltaic surge protectors
Overview
Several technologies exist on the market for surge protection or power
network:
Metal Oxide Varistor (MOV)
Air Gap + Trigger
MOV + Gas-lled Spark Gap (GSG) CITEL VG Technology
VG technology
This technology is the exclusive and patented technology of CITEL
based on the use of specic types of Gas tubes: GSG. These components, the result of over 75 years of experience in the gas discharge
tube eld, have a behavior adapted to the power network and provide
robustness and working stability: their association with varistors combines the advantages of both technologies.
CITEL originally developed the VG technology for low voltage Type 1

surge protectors and has then extended it to Type 2 surge protectors and
to Photovoltaic applications.
CITEL range using the VG technology:
DS50VGPV:Type 2 DC Surge Protector for PV application, Imax=40 kA
DS40VG: Type 2 AC Surge Protector, Imax=40 kA
DS60VGPV : Type 1 DC Surge Protector for PV application,Iimp=12.5 kA
DS130VG : Type 1 AC Surge Protector, Iimp=12.5 kA
DS250VG : Type 1 AC Surge Protector, Iimp=25 kA.
DUT250VG : Type 1 AC Surge Protector, three phase, Iimp=25 kA
Advantages of VG Technology
versus other technologies (specifically the triggered spark gap)
1. Gas-filled-Spark Gap (GSG)

CITEL VG surge protectors are using specic gas discharge tubes: GSG. These essential components are the result
of over 75 years of experience in the gas discharge tube eld, are meant for power network and ensure a perfect
electrical stability.
Increase reliability
2. Very low clamping level and high surge current capability

GSG are able to conduct very high surge currents (Iimp, Imax) with a very low residual voltage (Up). Such characteristics could only previously be reached with the combination of a Type 1 and a Type 2 surge protector.
Equivalent to Type 1+2+3 or 2+3 solutions
Maximum efciency
Compact design
3. Increased TOV withstand

VG surge protectors can handle very high TOV levels (Temporary over Voltage) up to 450Vac without any degradation
to the level of protection.
Increased reliability for areas with unstable power networks
13
4. No follow current
Unlike to Air Gap technologies, VG Technology does not create any follow on current.
VG ->Increased service continuity (No tripping of the upstream overcurrent protection device (OCP) during surge events)
Improvement of the network quality (no power line disturbances)
Easy selection
5. Robustness and reliability

All the components of the VG surge protector are designed to handle high impulse discharge currents without any assistance from auxiliary systems. On the contrary, the Triggered Air Gap technology includes a control circuit, using very low
power components, which handle parts of the surge current. During some low amplitude, low voltage transients this weak
circuit will handle the full amount of current and will eventually fail.
Increase reliability
Better life expectancy
6. Safe disconnection and Device status signalization

VG surge protectors use a safe disconnection system and provide real-time status indication of internal components. For
a Triggered Air Gap technology, the disconnection and signalization only can provide the status of the control circuit and
not the main protection circuit.
Safe and efcient maintenance
7. No ageing
During normal operation, in addition to transient events, varistors are always conducting a small amount of current. This
current is the result of working current (Ic) and leakage current (Ipe) and is due to the varistors connection to the grounding
system. This type of conduction can be stressful to the varistor over time, especially in dc power systems, and cause the
varistor to age prematurely.
Maximum life
8. Easier surge protection coordination

In the case of coordinated installations, the surge protector downstream a VG surge protector does not need any special
consideration, such as a sufcient distance between locations, in order to ensure a working coordination between multiple
SPDs. Note: due to its optimized protection level, the VG surge protector can be used without any additional surge protector
Easier to use
Conclusion :
CITEL Surge Protectors based on VG technology offer the best level of efciency and reliability, conditions essential for achieving the maximum
performance of your protection system.

Surge protection installation

Location
DS surge protectors are installed as follows, according to their types :
Type 1 or Heavy duty : at the origin of the installation, in a separate
box or on the main electrical panel, for efcient discharge of partial
lightning currents.
Type 2 or Primary : at the origin of the installation, on the main
electrical panel, in order to eliminate impulses currents as fast as
possible and thereby avoid coupling.
Type 2 (or Type 3) or Secondary : on the secondary panel, near
the sensitive equipment, to limit ringing and improve the level of protection.
Wiring
Since lightning surges are essentially common-mode phenomena, DS
surge protectors are connected mainly in common mode (between the
active conductors and ground).
Some recommendations call for additional differential-mode protection (between phase and neutral). For these applications, CITEL offers
specic versions, using a gas tube base module for the Neutral to
Ground (common mode) protection: this type of installation is called
a CT2 connection in IEC 60364 standard, is used in surge protectors
such as DS44-230/G.

Associated fuses
To comply with standards and safety, the AC surge protectors must be
protected against a possible end of life in short-circuit: the user must
install on each SPD branch, a protection against short-circuit current
(fuses or breaker).
The rating of this fuses is given by the SPD manufacturer in the product datasheet or installation instructions. The choice of this rating
depends of 2 criteria:
- Withstand of the short-circuit current tes in the IEC 61643-1
standard: the fuse must cut safety the short-circuit current before an harsh destruction of the SPD.
- Withstand of the discharge currents (In or Iimp): the fuse must
be able to conduct the discharge current of the SPD without
blowing.
CITEL has selected some fuses and DIN rail holders to t with his SPD
range. The fuses equipped with failure indicators to check easily their
opening and the holders can be supplied with or without contact for
remote signal of fuse status (see page 62).

Installation
DS surge protectors are connected in parallel on the AC network and
must be equipped with external fuses (or breakers) for short-circuit
protection (see paragraph Disconnection devices).
The total length of connection wires to AC network must be lower
than 0.5 m in order not to increase the protection level (Up) provided
by the SPD.
Wiring is made by screw connections. On some models, a distribution bus can be used.
The protection wire coming from the SPD must be connected to the
bonding bar of the electrical panel. Paralleling the protection wire with
phases conductors must be avoided.
The cross sectional wire must be 6 mm minimum for Type 2 SPDs

and 16 mm for Type 1.
Local earthing resistance must be in compliance with the electrical
rules.
Further information can be found in IEC 61643-12 standard (selection
and application principles for low voltage SPD).

DIN Rail Low Voltage Surge Protectors
Choosing Surge Protectors

CITELs line of AC power surge protectors is designed to cover all possible congurations in low voltage installations.
They are available in many versions, which differ in :
- Type or test class (1 , 2 or 3)
- Operating voltage (Uc)
- AC network conguration (Single/3-Phase)
- Discharge currents (Iimp, Imax, In)
- Protection level (Up)
- Protection technology (varistors, VG tecnology, lter)
- Features (differential mode, plug-in, remote signaling, compact..).
The surge protection selection must be done following the local electrical code requirements (e.g. : minimum rating for In) and specic
conditions (e.g. : high lightning density).
Choosing the Type of surge protectors

The type of surge protector is based on its location and the constraints
of the installation to be protected.

Choosing the operating voltages Uc and UT

The SPD Uc voltage (maximum continuous operating voltage) depends
on:
- Nominal voltage of the AC network (Uo)
- Type of AC system (TN, TT, IT).
The level of resistance to temporary overvoltages (UT) is related to the
Uc voltage. In addition, withstanding the high voltage TOV (1200 Vac,
300A, 200 ms) between Neutral and PE is needed in TT AC system,
which requires the CT2 diagram.

Choosing In current
The relevant nominal discharge current In for the SPD is in relation with
the lightning risk in the installation area.
The minimum rating of In for a SPD connected at the installation entrance is 5 kA (8/20 s waveform), required by standard.
Nevertheless higher ratings are advised in case of high lightning density.
Moreover higher values of In current will increase the SPD lifetime.
Imax (max. discharge current) rating is linked to In.

Choosing the protection level Up

The user must select a surge protector with a protection level Up adapted to the withstand level of terminal equipment. In every case, the lower
the protection level Up, the better the protection.
IEC 60364 standard calls for the minimum protection level of 2.5 kV for
a SPD connected at the entrance of a 230/400 V network : this level is
in compliance with the withstand of robust devices (electromechanical
type).
Electronic-based terminals have lower impulse withstand and require a
better protection : so, surge protectors with 1.5 kV protection are necessary to provide efcient protection.
Conditions
AC network conguration
DS surge protectors are available for single, 3-Phase and 3-Phase +
neutral AC networks.
17
Choosing Iimp
The impulse current Iimp is dened for Type 1 SPD. The minimum rating
for Iimp is 12.5 kA by pole, following IEC 60364-5-534 . This level is
adapted to the real phenomenon. This value can, however, be increased
according to the risk (calculation according to EN 62305-1)
CITEL proposes, in its Type 1 SPD range, 3 levels of Iimp current by pole:
12.5, 25 and 50 kA.

Choosing the SPD technology

A relevant choice of the SPD technology, as well as the use of coordination diagram can help to improve the protection level.
Coordination by conductor

DS surge protectors are based on Varistor (MOV) technology.

Some versions use different electrical diagrams :
- VG technology : this Gas tube-Varistor hybrib association, used
in SPD: DS130VG, DS250VG, DUT250VG, DS40VG, improves the reliabity and the efciency (see page 13-14)..
- Association with RFI filter : The Surge protection panel M series and
secondary SPD DS-HF combine surge protection stage and/or lter
stage in order to improve the protection level.

Coordination of Surge Protectors

In order to provide maximum protection efciency, it is necessary to
create a coordination diagram, that means installation of a primary SPD at the network entrance and a secondary close to sensitive equipment.

P2 : Primary surge protector (ex. DS40)

P3 : Seconadary surge protector (ex. DS215/G)

This association is required in the 2 following cases :

- High sensitivity equipment :
Improvement of protection level.
L2 : Length of conductor between surge protector and installation
- Long distance (greater than 30 m) of wire between equipment to be

protected and primary SPD :
Reduction of ringing voltages created during the surge transmission.
Efcient SPD coordination is performed by including between primary
and secondary SPDs :
- a minimum length of wire (> 10 m).
or
- a coordination inductor (DSH range).
Coordination with VG Surge Protector

With VG technology there is no consideration of the cable lenght or to
use inductance (see page 19).

Coordination of Surge Protector

Example of coordination on 3-Phase network.
In order to provide maximum protection efciency, it is
necessary to create a coordination diagram: that means
installation of a primary SPD at the network entrance
and a secondary close to sensitive equipment.
Efcient SPD coordination is performed by including,
between primary and secondary SPDs :
- a minimum length of wire (> 10 m).
or
- coordination inductors (DSH range: see below).

An additional benet of the VG technology is to ensure

effective coordination with secondary surge arrester without special precautions (no decoupling length required).
It is therefore possible to directly connect the output of
the surge arrester head VG secondary.
Note: However, because of the very high lightning discharge capacity and low residual clamping of the VG
SPD, the addition of a secondary surge protector is not
necessary.

International Standards
for AC surge protectors
The performance, selection and application of AC surge protectors are
dened by standards, to ensure an efcient and secure use.
National standards are often based on IEC international standards.
In the eld of AC surge protection, several documents must be taken
into consideration.
2 - The installation is connected to an overhead AC network and the

lightning density Ng 2.5 (or local keraunic level Nk 25) :
Recommendation : Type 2 SPD, with nominal discharge current In
5 kA, connected at the origin of the installation.
3 - The installation is connected to an overhead AC network and the

local keraunic level Nk 25 (or the lightning density Ng 2.5) :
Surge Protector not required.
Standards in surge protection

Related standards for test performance, selection and application of
low voltage SPDs are :
General rules : IEC 60364 standard :
- Section 4-443 : Protection against overvoltages of atmospheric origin or due to switching :
This section of IEC 60364 is intended to describe the means by which
transient overvoltages can be limited to reduce the risk of failures in
the installation, and in electrical equipment connected to it, to an acceptable level.
- Section 5-534 : Devices for protection against overvoltages :
This section gives the basic requirements for the selection and implementation of the SPDs for electrical installation of buildings to obtain
a limitation of transient overvoltages.
Product standard : IEC 61643-11 :
This document addresses performance tests for AC surge protective
devices (SPDs) following different classes (Class I , II or III test). It is
mainly dedicated to surge protector manufacturers
Selection and application guide : IEC 61643-12 :
This guide addresses the selection and application principles of SPDs
in practical situations.
The section 4-443 of IEC 60364 recommends SPDs on electrical installations if they are supplied by overhead lines (partially or totally) and
if the local keraunic level is equal or greater than 25. Some national
standards based on IEC make the SPD installation mandatory in these
conditions.
Recommendations for SPD installation

Section 5-534 gives the minimum performance required for SPD installed at the entrance of installation, as nominal discharge current
In 5 kA for Type 2 SPD and Lightning current Iimp 12.5 kA for Type
1 SPD.
1 - The installation equipped with lightning rod (LPS):

Recommendation : Type 1 SPD, with Lightning impulse current
Iimp of 12,5 kA minimum, connected at the origin of the installation.
23
- The installation is connected to an underground AC network

Surge Protector not required.
Nevertheless, in the two last cases, a more accurate analysis could be

done, taking into account the type of equipment (sensitivity, cost..) or
the consequences of a service interruption (downtime costs, human
hazards...) : IEC 61662 international standard proposes a method for
assessing the risk related to surges due to lightning.
5 - The unavailability of the electrical network could have consequences on human safety.
Surge Protector mandatory or risk analysis required.

Conclusion
Depending on the countries, AC surge protectors could be recommended or mandatory in relation with the external conditions (type
of network and lightning threat). Risk assessment methods are also
available to determine more accurately the need of surge protection.
In any case, all the present electrical installations are crowded with
sensitive devices, installing properly selected surge protectors is becoming more and more critical.
North-American regulation on low voltage

Surge Protection Devices
Standard Status
In North America, the international standard IEC does not apply. Other
national standards and guidelines exist, such as UL, NEC and ANSI/
IEEE, which are used to determine your risk to transients in low voltage power networks as well as the use of appropriate protector for
each application.
Categories depending on the location guide IEEE C62.41.2
NEC (National Electrical Code):

The article 280 of NEC denes the use of standalone surge protectors
and imposes their compliance with the product standard UL1449 Ed. 3.
The article 285 denes the selection and installation conditions of
SPDs.
Product Standard: UL1449, 3rd Ed.:

This document, devoted to surge protection manufacturers, denes
the parameters as well as the test procedure to qualify an SPD: it is
important to note that the UL Type designations of surge protective devices, while similar, is not exactly the same as SPD types in IEC6164311.
SPD type according to UL 1449 3rd Ed.:

Type is linked to the installation point of the surge protector in the
network :
- Type 1: SPD connected on the line or load side of the main service
disconnect, no additional overcurrent protection (OCP) is required.
- Type 2: SPD connected on the load of the main service disconnect.
- Type 3: Point-of-Use SPD, directly in front of equipment and further
than 33ft (10m) from the main service disconnect.
- Type 4: SPD Assembly, assembly of surge components (Type5) including an internal or external thermal disconnect.
- Type 5: Surge components, i.e. Gas discharge tube, Silicon Diode,
Metal Oxide Varistor (MOV).

DS range from CITEL

Application field
A pluggable design
The design of most DS surge protectors is based on the use of a module to be plugged into a matching base.
This makes replacement and checking very easy without impairing your protection.
For multipole surge protectors, the possibility of replacing a single pole makes repairing a surge protector less
expensive.
The plug-in module is identied with a color label in relation with the type (black = Type 1 ; red = Type 2 ; blue = low
power Type 2 or Type 3) and are keyed for operating voltage, in order to avoid misapplications

Type 1 + 2 and Type 1+ 2 + 3 Surge Protectors
Type 1+2 and Type 1+2+3 surge protectors are heavy duty devices, designed to be installed at the origin of the AC installations equipped with
LPS (Lightning Protection System). They are necessary to protect sensitive equipment connected to AC network against direct and indirect
effects of lightning. Following the different national electrical codes,
these SPDs can be recommended or mandatory.
Several mechanical formats are available to meet the needs of the

user: Enclosures unipolar assembled, monobloc or equipped with
pluggable modules.
These multipolar SPDs are using 2 different technologies :

DS250VG, DS130VG, DUT250VG : VG technology,
DS500E, DS250E, DS130R : MultiMOV technology.
These surge protectors are available in a wide range of versions to be

adaptable to all congurations :

Type 2 and Type 3 surge protectors
Type 2 Surge Protectors are designed to be installed at the origin of the

Low Voltage system or close to sensitive equipment to protect against
transient voltages coupled into the Low Voltage network. Surge Protectors are recommended or, in some cases, mandatory for some systems, especially when these systems are located in a high lightning
area (Ng>2.5) or when supplied by overhead power lines. These Surge
Protectors undergo NF EN 61643-11 Class II 8/20 s discharge current
tests.
CITEL surge arresters Type 2 are offered mainly in pluggable version.

Monobloc solutions are also available.
These surge protectors are available in a wide range of versions to be

adaptable to all congurations :
CITEL surge arresters Type 2 are based on the use of varistors. Version
DS40VG uses VG technology.
Imax by pole : 10 up to 70 kA
Single, 3 or 3-Phase+Neutral AC network
230/400V or 120/208V AC network
All AC system types
Common mode protection (CT1 conguration)
or Common and Differential mode protection (CT2 conguration)
41
Arresters tested and found Type 3 are intended to be installed near

sensitive equipment, in coordination with type 2 arrester installation
head.
Note: the installation guide UTE C15-443 and Articles 443 and 534 of
the NF C15-100 only consider SPDs Type 1 and Type 2.

Surge Protectors for Photovoltaic systems
Most photovoltaic module manufacturers guarantee their materials

for 20 years or more.The ROI of photovoltaic generation facilities
connected to the low voltage network is therefore calculated over this
long period of time. But these systems are often highly exposed to
lightning and power surges, which can greatly reduce the required
operating time. Implementation of appropriate protection solutions is
strongly recommended.
Several points must be considered to analyze the risk Lightning and
Power Surges:
Due to the exposed nature of the PV array, the threat of lightning
is more common.
The risk is multiple: direct effect (lightning strike on the panels)
and indirect (surge on cells, solar chargers / inverters), on other
lines (data).
The operating loss must be taken into account, especially at sites
of high power capacity.
When the PV system is located on industrial sites, the risk of switching overvoltages must also be taken into account.
The level of risk is directly related to the lightning density and exposure of local lines
Depending on the type of networks, the presence of lightning rod or

primary surge protectors existing, CITEL offers a complete range of
solutions to protect the AC part of the PV system.
Installations with lightning rods
A Type 1 surge protector, specically dimensioned to handle direct
lightning current is required at the service entrance of the installation
(main switchboard). Surge protectors like the DS130R provide a high
energy surge capacity in a compact size and are easily serviced with
pluggable modules.
Standard installation
In the absence of lightning rod, the implementation of a type 2 SPD
is generally preferred,but, in some cases, it is compulsory depending
on the level of lightning in the area (Ng> 2.5). The DS40 type 2 arrester range offers a modular solution adapted to these applications.
For medium and small size facilities with limited space available, the
DS240/DS440 provides a high surge capacity in a reduced footprint.
Input protection of PV inverter
CLC/TS 50539-12 guide requires the implementation of an additional
SPD on the AC input of the PV inverter, if it is more than 10 m from
the primary surge protector. The DS215/DS415 surge protectors provide this protection for these applications and can be installed either
directly into the distribution panel or in a dedicated, standalone enclosure solution.
Protection of PV installation
Surge protectors for datalines
The photovoltaic grid-connected low voltage power lines may be subject to overvoltages on different networks:
The PV system can be interconnected to various datalines networks

including probes, sensors, and monitoring equipment. In these cases,
the implementation of suitable surge protectors is highly recommended: The DLA range performs this function and is available for
any type of telecom or data line connections
AC network: surge protectors are necessary, and in most cases,

mandatory on the AC output of the PV inverter which is connected
back to the AC power grid.
DC network: surge protectors are required or mandatory on the
input of the PV inverter or the input of the PV modules.
Communication network: if the PV inverter is connected to signal

lines (probes, sensors, monitoring) then surge protectors are highly
recommended on these networks.
65
AC surge protectors for PV installation
DC surge protectors for PV installation

The DC input of the PV inverter has to be protected according to the
recommendation of the CLC/TS 50539-12 Guide. CITEL has designed a
complete range of Type 1 and Type 2 surge protectors for these applications that are compliant with the EN 50539-11 product standard.
When the installation is equipped with non-isolated lightning rods (see
CLC/TS 50539-12), it is mandatory to install SPD dimensioned for a
direct lightning impulse (10/350s). In these cases, CITEL has developed a range of high energy Type 1 surge protectors:
DS60VGPV/51 series : Type 1 SPDs may withstand up to 12.5 kA
by pole @ 10/350s, it incorporates CITELs exclusive, patented VG
Technology. Comply with EN50539-11 product test.

Protection of Photovoltaic installations
Residential Photovoltaic installation

The CLC/TS 50539-12 installation guide gives the relevant information to manage the safe operation of PV
installation in case of surge due to lightning. For small
power plants (residential and small commercial), AC
input (connection to the grid) and DC out should be
protected.
The implementation of the SPD may be mandatory for
some cases. However, if the reliability and longevity
of the PV system are the primary objective then the
implementation of surge protectors is always recommended.

Photovoltaic installation
Commercial or industrial sites can integrate very
large photovoltaic systems into their power generation strategy. These applications are vulnerable
to lightning and transient surges which can cause
signicant downtime and losses. The implementation of SPDs at key locations throughout the facility
is necessary to ensure the reliable operation of the
plant.

Photovoltaic power plants have a high risk of lightning strikes due to their large surface area and
exposed location. This means expensive, sensitive
equipment is vulnerable to lightning strikes resulting in direct replacement costs and operation downtime losses. Thus implementation of SPDs on AC, DC
and communication lines are highly recommanded.

Surge protection for PV powered off-grid installation

External generator (optional)
Group-Wind-BT Network
The exposure and location of remote sites powered by isolated PV systems not connected to the
AC network are at a very high risk of failure due
to transient surges.
Unlike the sites connected to the distribution
network, PV equipment failure at a remote site
will result in a total operating loss: thus, the
implementation of appropriate surge protection

is strongly recommended.
The selection and installation of surge protectors for off-grid sites will be dened in the UTE
C15-712-2 guide.
CITEL surge protectors for remote sites are available in voltages from 12 to 350Vdc.

AC Surge Protectors Hard-wired Units

and Combiner boxes
CITEL offers a line of surge protectors for the single and three phase
AC networks connected to sensitive equipment. These products, are
available in various formats:
Hard-wired units single-phase (MSB, MLP)
Hard-wired units and combiner box for US market (M serie)
Hard-wired surge protector
Combiner box surge protector
MSB series
SPDs Type 2 or 3 for effective protection of sensitive equipment, in
addition to the surge protector installation (coordination surge protector). Recommended installation near a sensitive equipment away from
the surge protector (> 10 m). These surge protectors utilize a compact
and economical scheme based varistors, to obtain a power flow relevant for secondary protection. They are more in accordance with NF
EN 61643-11, equipped with internal security which will disconnect
the product of their networks for end of life. The operating condition of
the arrester is signaled by light (or buzzer for version MSB6). Available
in screw terminal connectors or son.
M series
These standalone enclosures are AC surge protectors that have been
specifically designed for standards, networks and installations in
North America.
They are available in all single, dual or three phase configurations and
are equipped with various diagnostic options. Housed in a NEMA 4
metal enclosures, these surge protectors are available in various per
phase surge capacities (Imax = 80, 100, 160 and 200 kA).
The protection circuit is based on a combination of high energy varistors and filter capacitors to provide a very high discharge current
capability with EMI / RFI filtering. Manufactured in accordance with
the UL1449 standard, the safe operation is ensured by real-time diagnostics including fault indicators (LEDs), an audible alarm, and remote
signal contacts.

LED street lighting is now widely used for its efficiency, its energy cost
savings and its life expectancy.
Nevertheless this attractive technology has an important weakness:
its sensitivity to transient voltages created by lightning or by power
switch operations on AC network.
Due to its scattered and over-exposed location, LED lighting system
will face induced surges which will create failure of its power supply,
damage LED components or loss of the lighting efficiency. For these
reasons, the use of relevant surge protectors located upstream the
LED lighting systems is highly recommended.
CITEL offers a full range of surge protectors designed to be installed
at different points on the lighting network such as streetlights, the
base of poles and street cabinets.
CITEL offers solutions adapted to every type of outdoor LED lighting
systems : urban, architectural, tunnels etc
Hard-wired surge protector

MLP series
MLP range is a complete range of AC surge protectors specifically
designed by CITEL for the protection of LED lighting systems at the
lantern.
Many versions have been proposed to meet the various existing configurations : surge protection devices are available in different isolation
classes (Class 1, Class 2) and connection type (wire or screw terminal). Some versions are equipped with additional protection for data
line option (RS485,DALI, 0-10V) to provide a complete solution for LED
systems with control lines.
In cases of extreme aggression, the surge protector will be in a state
of retirement security: according to the different versions available,
an indication of the failure of the surge protector is performed by the
extinction of an indicator, a AC power supply failure and / or through a
remote signalisation.
83
MLPC series
The MLPC range is a compact solution surge protectors to be installed
in small spaces. These devices are available in 2 types of connectors
(screw terminal or spring) and in two orientations wiring (input / output opposite or input / output on the same side) in order to adapt to the
installation as much as possible.
In cases of extreme aggression, lightning MLPC1 will be in a state of
safe end of life: the indication of failure (disconnection) of the surge
protector is performed by the extinction of an indicator and switching
off the AC (extinction street luminaire) inform the user of the need for
maintenance.

These very compact surge protectors can be integrated in the very
small volumes of certain lights (linear LEDs). The surge protection circuit is equipped with an end of life indicator buzzer in order to indicate
the disconnection of the surge protector.
DSLP series
This device is installed inside the bottom of the lighting pole : its very
compact dimension allows a easy integration with the connection box,
on DIN rail .
DSLP1 is based on a powerful association of MOV and GDT components, secured by thermal disconnector and connection indicator.
DS98L series
The DS98L range is a series of AC surge protector for DIN assembly
designed to be installed inside boxes at the bottom of poles: its high
load current and double output connection allow several LED circuits
to be protected. The DS98L is based on an efficient combination of a
varistor and a gas discharge tube, secured by thermal disconnector
and status indicator.
Street cabinet protection
In order to ensure the real security of the lighting network, the main
AC cabinet must also be protected by surge protection devices: surge
protectors on the AC network (e.g.: DS40 range) and, if present, surge
protectors on the data circuit (e.g.: DLA range).

Telephone-Data surge protectors
Introduction
Telecommunication and data transmission devices (PBX, modems,
data terminals etc..) are becoming increasingly vulnerable to lightning-induced voltage surges.
These devices are becoming more complex, sensitive and share a
common grounding connection with other networks. This situation
increases the risk for these sensitive devices to be stressed by destructive surge voltages, induced by lightning or by electrical switching
operations.
Moreover, these devices are nowadays installed at every level of every
installation (industrial, commercial and residential buildings), making
these possible disturbances unacceptable and/or costly.
To make this telecom or data equipment sufciently reliable, the
installation of a dedicated surge protector, against transient overvoltages, is highly recommended.
Surge protectors for telecom and data transmission terminals could
be divided in 3 types :
Surge protectors for telecom networks
Surge protectors for industrial networks
Surge protectors for Local Area Networks (LANs)
CITEL products differ by their electrical diagrams and their mechanical congurations, adapted to the need of each type of network.
Reminder:
Devices connected to telecom or data networks, are also connected
to the AC distribution network : in order to ensure a coordinated protection, surge protectors must be installed on each inter-connected
networks.
Technology of surge protectors

All Citel telephone and data line surge protectors are based on reliable
multistage hybrid design that combines a high discharge current capacity
with fast response time.
All Citel telephone and data line surge protectors use a combination of
a 3-electrode gas discharge tube and fast clamping diodes, in order to
provide:
93
A nominal discharge current (repeated without destruction) greater

than 5 kA @ 8/20 s impulse
An ultrafast response time < 1 ns
Safety operation in end of life
(Fail-safe behaviour)
Low insertion losses to not disturb the transmission signal.
GDT
D
Equipt
The systematic use of 3-electrode discharge tubes provides optimum

protection through simultaneous sparkover.
This set of characteristics is essential for optimum reliability of the
protected equipment whatever the incident or disturbance.
Various protection diagrams are available according to requirements
and the type of network to be protected:
Standard protection, used mainly for the analog telecom network
(PSTN)
Enhanced protection, for very low voltage transmission lines.
Line+Shield Protection : Transmission and protection for
the shield wire.
K20 protection complying with the ITU-T K20 International recommendation
Low capacitance protection for high bit rate links (> 1 Mbit/s)
Cat 5 or Cat 6 surge protection : designed for very high bitrate
LAN (up to 10 Gbit/s).
See list of diagrams, page 98.
Standards
Tests procedures and installation recommendations for communication line surge protectors must comply the following standards:
International:
- IEC 61643-21 : Tests of surge protectors for communication lines.
- IEC 61643-22 : Choice/installation of surge protectors for communication lines.
France:
- NF EN 61643-21 : Essais applicables aux parafoudres de communication.
- Guide UTE C 15-443 : Choice/installation of surge protectors
Specific tests following IEC 61643-21 standard:

Surge protectors for communication lines must be tested following various categories in order to declare their impulse durability :
- C2 Category : 10 x 8/20s current impulses from 1 to 5 kA
- C3 Category: 300 x 10/1000s current impulses from 10 to 100 A
- D1 Category: 2 x 10/350s current impulses from 0.5 to 2.5 kA
Moreover, fault modes on AC or impulse stress must be tested and declared :
- Mode 1 : disconnected SPD but line transmission still active
- Mode 2 : short-circuited SPD, so line transmission off.
- Mode 3 : Failed SPD and line transmission off (in-line cutoff).
Use of surge protectors

In areas where standards are lacking or non-existent, the decision to use
surge protectors on telecom and data lines can be taken by the following:
the recommendation of the equipment manufacturer
preventative action following equipment damage due to transients
a simplied risk assessment
Risk assessment
In order to assess quickly the probability of the lightning surges and
theirs consequences, a simplied risk analysis could be performed following the table below.

The level of recommendation (from no recommendation to highly

recommended) of using surge protectors increase with the number of
parameters classied as high risk on the table.
A more detailed risk analysis is available on the IEC 61643-22 standard.
Installation
To be effective, surge protectors must be installed in accordance with the
following principles :
The earth point of the surge protector and of the protected equipment
must be interconnected.
The protection is installed on the network entrance, to divert impulse
currents as fast as possible.
The protected equipment must be nearby (protector/equipment distance less than 10 m long). If this rule cannot be followed, secondary protection must be installed near the equipment
(coordinated surge protection).
The grounding conductor (between the earth output of the protector
and the installation bonding circuit) must be as short as possible (less
than 0.50 m) and have a cross-sectional area of at least 2.5 mm.
The earth resistance must comply with the standards in force (no special earthing requested).
Protected and unprotected cables must be kept well apart to limit
coupling.
Maintenance
CITEL data line surge protectors require no maintenance or replacement. They are designed to withstand repeated and heavy impulse currents without damage.
Nevertheless a controlled fail-safe mode (short circuit to earth) is planned in case of surges exceeding the parameters of the surge protectors:
Protective short-circuit occurs in the following cases :
- Prolonged contact of a low current line with a power line (AC overstress
test with alternating current, in accordance with EN 61643-21)
- Exceptionally violent lightning strike (impulse overstress test in accordance with EN 61643-21).
In these cases, the surge protector denitively short-circuits, which indicates to the user the functional destruction through a transmission cut,
while protecting the terminal equipment (Mode 2 default in accordance
with EN 61643-21).
To reactive the line, the user must replace the surge protector or or
replace the removable module for pluggable versions.
The basic parameters of the surge protector for datalines could be
controlled with dedicated testers.
Surge Protection parameters

In choosing surge protection for your installation, bear the following in
mind :
The type of line : There is an appropriate level of protection and protection diagram for each type of line.
The site conguration: Number of lines to be protected.
The requested type of installation :
The CITEL line provides the following possibilities :
- Installation in wall-mounted box, plug mounting, on distribution frame
- various types of connection (screw, spring contact, connectors...)
Features
Some surge protectors are equipped with pluggable modules (E280,
DLA).
Special conditions : presence of Lightning rod

If the installation to be protected is equipped with LPS (lightning rod), the
surge protectors for telecom or datalines, connected on external lines
must be able to conduct 10/350 s surge current with a rating up to 2.5
kA minimum (D1 category test in IEC 61643-21 standard).

paragraph), or by detailed risk assessment (as the one included in IEC
61643-22 standard), or by specic installation conditions as :
Conditions
External telecom lines
Systematic protection
Lines downstream PBX
Protection in long or inter-building

lines
Systematic protection

Recommendation
Protecting industrial networks
CITEL range
Industrial installations, businesses or smart buildings are packed with

an increasing quantity of control equipment, measurement, control
and supervisory equipment.
These systems are built with controller cards, probes, sensors and
various sensitive electronic components: downtime on the operation
on this equipment can be costy.
CITEL surge protectors for industrial data networks are designed to t

on symmetrical DIN rail.In order to offer a large range of solutions, the
surge protectors are available in various congurations :
Thus, it is increasingly vital to guarantee a relevant level of reliability to these systems: this can be obtained by installing dataline surge
protection.
Equipment to be protected
Industrial or business installations are equipped with many different
types of sensitive terminals, which must be protected against transient voltages, such as:
Industrial process equipment
SCADA systems (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition)
Transmission systems
I/O cards
Interfaces, converters
Probes
Actuators
Access control system
Fire detection system, Displays
Many data transmissions (or eldbus) exist on the market. The table
below provides relevant CITEL surge protector model (DLA series : Din
rail pluggable module, and DLU series : Din rail monobloc module) in
relation to the type of data transmission.

Surge protectors for ATEX zones

CITEL offers a range of surge protectors with Intrinsically safe surge
protector for transmission lines, designed to protect against transient surge volttaages affecting equipment situated in zones classied
as dangerous, beyond the intrinsic security barrier, in accordance with
the ATEX directive (94/9/EC) and the EN 60079 standard.
These IS-CS range surge protection devices are duly approved by a
certifying body according to the Ex II 1 G Ex ia IIC T4 Ga group, which
allows them to be used in a large number of Ex zones. They are designed to protect the different analogue or digital interfaces commonly
used in automation networks.
Several versions are available:
IS-CSL : pluggable, compact,
intrinsically safe surge protector modules, for low-current line.
Mounted on IS-CLS6DIN base
IS-CSSP6 : pluggable, compact,

intrinsically safe surge protector modules, for lines up to 6 A.
Mounted on IS-CLS-DIN base
IS-CLS-DIN : base for IS-CSL-xxx

module. Mounted on symmetrical
DIN rail. Direct earthing or via gas
discharge tube.
IS-CSLT: Explosion-proof intrinsically safe surge protector module for transmission line. Parallel
connection. Mounted on M20 x1.5
thread.

Data Surge Protectors
Protecting data-processing networks

For industrials sites or secondary buildings integrating a linked computer network, any single issue at one of these systems will create
consequences, more or less,to the safety and productivity of the entire
system.
It is now more and more crucial to reinforce the level of reliability for
these systems: this can be achieved by using a proper surge protection
strategy for these sensitive networks.
As is the case in telecom or industrial networks, the installation of
surge protectors on data-processing networks is necessary, especially
in the following cases :
Inter-building networks
Wide networks
High Electromagnetic disturbance density
As for the other types of transmission lines, CITEL surge protectors
for Local Area Networks (LANs) are based an association 3-pole gas
tubes and fast clamping diodes to ensure efficiency on lightning surges.
In addition, two additional parameters need to be taken into account:
the voltage level of the application and the data transmission speed.
CITEL surge protectors for data-processing networks are designed for
both of these requirements.
Standard
Surge protectors for data network are in compliance with IEC 6164321.
CITEL range
CITEL Surge protector for video transmission can be adapted to
the different configurations. These are generally equipped with the
network connection (RJ45) and available either in an individual box
for the protection of an isolated terminal, or in a 19 Rack version for
multi-line protection at hub or server level.
Surge Protectors for terminal equipment
CITEL offers several configurations depending on the types of network
and the performance protection required:
theMJ8-CAT6S are dedicated to the Category 6 and 5E networks with shielded
cable (STP). Their GDT/Diodes circuit
gives them the discharge capacity necessary for the protection of inter-building connections.
Performances
Ethernet network surge protectors are designed for computer networks
with very fast data transfer speeds up to 1 Gbit/s for the Category 6
networks. In order to cover the many various types of networking applications, CITEL offers a complete range of surge protectors adapted to
the most important networks.

Multi-port surge protectors 19 Rack format

CITEL offers several configurations depending on the types of network
and the protection performance required:
Gamme PL
Available in 24 and 12 ports. Category 6 compatible. Shielded RJ45
input/output. STP cabling. GDT/diodes diagram.
Protecting
Video Data Transmission
Video transmission lines (surveillance cameras) are regularly subjected to transient surges due to the nature of their distributed application. In order to insure the integrity of these installations, the application of dedicated SPDs at the equipment level (cameras) as well as at
the Digital Recording Devices (DVRs) is absolutely necessary.
CITEL range
The CITEL surge protectors for video-transmission are adapted to different configurations:
Gamme RAK
Available in 32 and 16 ports. Category 6, PoE and coaxial BNC
connection versions. Input/output by connectors on front.
UTP cabling.
Video via coaxial cable: a surge protector is installed on the coaxial

connection (CITEL, CXP, CNP range). The terminal power supply
and control links must also be protected. The MSP-VM-2P surge
protector brings together all the protection devices in one single
box.
CNP
MSP-VM-2P
Gamme PCH
Available in 48, 24 and 12 ports. Category 6, PoE and Telecom
versions. Connection by self-stripping connectors/terminal. UTP
cabling.
Video over IP: a MJ8-CAT5E type surge protector must be installed on the IP connection. The AC power supply of the terminal
equipment must also be protected. The MSP-VM/R surge protector
brings together all the protection devices in one single box.
MSP-VM/R
MSP-VM
Installation
The surge protector for IT networks must be installed while respecting the following principles:
The surge protector and the protected equipment must be interconnected with the bonding network of the installation.
The earth discharge conductor (between the earth output of the
surge protector and the bonding circuit of the installation) must be
as short as possible (less than 0.50 m).
The AC power supply of the equipment must also be surge protected.
Video over PoE: a PoE compatible surge protector (MJ8-POE) must

be installed on the terminal equipment. In the case of outdoor installation, the CMJ8-POE version is necessary.

RF Surge Protection
Protection of radiocommunication
equipment
RF surge protection technology
Radiocommunication systems, connected to antennae, are especially

exposed to lightning phenomena, the maximum risk being a direct
strike on the antenna pole.
Equipment, as GSM/UMTS or TETRA base stations, must consider this
risk in order to insure a relevant service continuity.
CITEL offers several surge protection technologies for RF lines to
comply to the different operation requirements.

Network
The gas discharge tube (GDT) is the only surge protection component
usable on very high frequency transmission (several GHz) due to its
very low capacitance. In a coaxial surge protector, the GDT is connected in parallel between the central conductor and the external shield ;
when its sparkover voltage is reached, during an overvoltage, the line
is briey shorted (arc voltage). The sparkover voltage depends on the
rise front of the overvoltage. The higher the dV/dt of the overvoltage,
the higher the sparkover voltage of the surge protector.
When the overvoltage disappears, the gas discharge tube returns to
its original condition of high isolation and is ready to operate again.
The gas tube is removable, making maintenance rapid in the end-oflife scenario.
The greater advantage of this technology is its very wide bandwidth:
from DC (so, compatible with DC voltage injection) to several GHz.

P8AX series (Gas Tube Protection)
PRC series (Quarter Wave Protection)
CNP/CXP series (GDT protection)

and CXP-DCB series (DC Blocked Protection)
CXP protectors are based on GDT to provide high discharge current
capability without destruction. This type of products allows for installation in ungrounded systems. In these cases, the CXP isolates the
shield from the earth ground and is typically found in applications
including wireless radio terminals and TV monitors (antenna, cable
or satellite).
CXP-DBC version is a relevant hybrid association between a lter
stage and a gas tube : this conguration has the advantage of reducing
low frequency disturbances (DC and lightning voltages) while providing a high discharge current capability.
The other way to protect antenna lines is relevant replacement of the

gas tube by a proper short-circuit chosen according to the operating frequency band. This short-circuit is tuned to one quarter of the
wavelength, giving its name to quarter-wave protection. This tuned
short-circuit between the conducting core and the external ground
acts as a band-pass lter.
The lter may be selective (narrow band or wide-band), according to
the calculation of various mechanical elements.
Since lightning has a low-frequency spectrum (from a few hundred
kHz to a few MHz), it will be ltered out from the operating frequencies.
The typical application is the protection of radio lines that do not have
a source voltage.

Installation
The efciency of coaxial protectors is highly dependent on proper installation, in particular their connection to the earthing network of the
installation.
The following installations rules must be strictly observed to ensure
the efciency :
Mounting coaxial surge protectors

in feedthrough
Well grounded
panel
Equipotential bonding network : all the bonding conductors of the

installation must be interconnected and connected to the installation earthing network.
Optimized connection of the protector to the bonding network : to
reduce the residual voltages during lightning discharge currents,
the connection of the protector to the bonding network must be as
short as possible (less than 50 cm) and has a proper cross section
(at least 4 mm).
The feedthrough mounting versions meet perfectly all these
requirements.
Warning : for good contact, remove carefully all paintings or insulating coatings.
Location of the protectors : they should preferably be placed at the
entrance of the installation (to limit the penetration of lightning currents) and also near sensitive equipment (to enhance protection).

Feedthrough mounting
Direct mounting of the surge protector on the grounded frame at the
installation entrance (or on specic bracket see p. 136) :
- perfect connection to the bonding network
- best location (conduction of the surge currents at the entrance of
the installation)
- good mechanical withstand.
Alternative mounting
- connection to the bonding network by wire (4 mm minimum and
shortest length possible).

GAS DISCHARGE TUBE
138
Gas Discharge Tubes
The Gaz Discharge Tube (or GDT) are passive components made of two
or three electrodes in an enclosure filled with a (non-radioactive) rare
gas at a controlled pressure.
The enclosure is a ceramic tube with its ends closed off by metal caps
that also serve as electrodes.
Their main use is to protect telecommunications lines, but other uses
are possible.

Non-operating domain, characterized by practically infinite insulation resistance;

Glow domain : At breakdown, the conductance increases suddenly;
if the current drained off by the gas tube is less than about 0.5A (this
is a rough value that differs according to the type of component),
the glow voltage across the terminals will be in the 80-100V range;
Arc regime : as the current increases, the gas discharge tube shifts
from the glow voltage to the arc voltage (20V). It is in this domain
that the gas discharge tube is most effective, because the current
discharged can reach several thousand amperes without the arc
voltage across its terminals increasing.
Extinction : At a bias voltage roughly equal to the glow voltage, the
gas tube recovers its initial insulating properties.

Operation
The gas discharge tube may be regarded as a sort of very fast switch having conductance properties that change very rapidly, when
breakdown occurs, from open-circuit to quasi-short circuit (arc voltage about 20V). There are accordingly four operating domains in the
behavior of a gas discharge tube:
Arc voltage
Current
Operating regimes
139
Electrical characteristics
3-electrode configuration
The main electrical characteristics defining a gas discharge tube are:

DC sparkover voltage (Volts)
Impulse sparkover voltage (Volts)
Discharge current capacity (kA)
Insulation resistance (Gohms)
Capacitance (pF).
Protecting a two-wire line (for example a telephone pair) with two

2-electrode gas discharge tubes (connected between the wires and
ground) may cause the following problem:
The line is subjected to an overvoltage in common mode; because of
the dispersion of the sparkover voltages ( 20%), one of the gas discharge tubes sparks over a very short time before the other (a few
microseconds); the wire that has sparked over is therefore grounded
(neglecting the arc voltages), turning the common-mode overvoltage
into a differential-mode overvoltage, very dangerous for the terminal
equipment. This risk disappears when the second gas discharge tube
arcs over (a few microseconds later).
3-electrode gas tube geometry eliminates this drawback: the sparkover of one pole causes a general breakdown of the device almost
instantaneously (a few nanoseconds) because there is only one gasfilled enclosure.
DC sparkover voltage
This is the main characteristic defining the gas discharge tube.
It is the voltage at which breakdown will occur between the electrodes
when a slowly increasing voltage (dV/dt = 100 V/s) is applied to the
component; it depends on the electrode spacing, the pressure, and the
properties of the gas mixture and of the emissive substance.
Range of DC sparkover voltages available:
minimum 75V
average 230V
high voltage 500V
very high voltage 1000 to 3000V
The tolerance on the breakdown voltage is generally 20%. .

End of life
Gas discharge tubes are designed to withstand several impulses without destruction or loss of the initial characteristics (typical impulse
tests: 10 times 5 kA impulses of each polarity).
On the other hand, a sustained strong current (e.g. 10 A rms for 15
seconds, simulating the fall of a AC power line onto a telecommunication line) will put the device out of service definitively.
If a fail-safe end of life is desired (i.e. a short-circuit that will report the
fault to the user when the line fault is detected), gas discharge tubes
with the fail-safe feature (external short-circuit) should be chosen.

ischarge current
This depends on the properties of the gas, the volume, and the material and treatment of the electrodes. It is the major characteristic of
the GDT and the one that distinguishes it from other protection devices
(Varistor, Zener diode, etc.): 5 to 20kA with an 8/20s impulse for the
standard components. This is the value the device can withstand repeatedly (say for ten impulses) without destruction or alteration of its
basic specifications.
CITEL gas discharge tubes comply with the specifications of main

telecom operators and with the ITU-T K12 international recommendation and standards IEC 61643-311.
CITEL gas discharge tubes are also compliant with the RoHS Directive
Impulse sparkover voltage

Sparkover voltage in the presence of a steep rise front (dV/dt = 1kV/
s): the impulse sparkover voltage increases with increasing dV/dt.
Insulation resistance and capacitance
These characteristics make the gas discharge tube practically invisible in a line in a steady-state context: insulation resistance very
high (>10 Gohm), capacitance very low (<1 pF).
140
Gas Discharge Tubes
The CITEL line
CITEL gas discharge tubes are available in several mechanical configurations to adapt to the desired set-up:
CITEL proposes a full line of gas discharge tubes to meet most configuration needs and specifications found on the market :
Bare version for mounting adapted support

"S" version wire output (diameter 0.8 or 1 mm) for mounting on
printed circuit
"SMD" version for surface mounting, with optional "SQ" version
(anti-roll square electrode).
Specific versions: output by cable or rod
2- and 3-electrode gas discharge tubes

Sparkover voltages from 75 to 3000 V
Discharge capacities from 5 to 150 kA (8/20s)
Optional external short-circuit device
Installation on support, on printed circuit, or surface-mounted
devices.
Surface mounting
Most of CITEL range of gas discharge tubes are available for surface
mounting (SMD), with optional "anti-rolling" version with square electrode (SQ). The welding profile with reflow must follow the recommended curve (opposite).
The 3-poles BMSQ CMS FL gas
tube is particularly adapted to surface-mount technology, with its "anti-rolling" electrode and its exclusive
external short-circuit system adapted to this type of mounting.
Printed circuit mounting

The majority of CITEL gas discharge tube ranges are available with
wire output (diameter 0.8 or 1 mm) for mounting on a printed circuit
board. Different types of output possible according to the range: axial,
radial, straight output, folded output....... Wave solder mounting must
be done following the recommended profile (opposite)
Radial Taping
The CITEL gas discharge tubes with wire output are provided in a radial tape in a pack of 500 components according to the ranges (plan
opposite) and in line with the IEC 286-1 specification.
Tape and Reel
The CITEL gas discharge tubes with SMT mounting are provided in a
Tape and Reel pack, reel of 500, 800 or 1000 components (plan opposite) and in line with the IEC 286-1 specification
141
GSG series
Thanks to our inherent knowledge and experience in the field of gas
discharge tubes, CITEL has developed a specific technology:
GSG (Gas-filled Spark Gap).
These components are designed to be used on an AC network: they
have an increased extinction capability and a higher current discharge
capability with either a 8/20us or 10/350us waveform.
The GSG components are the heart of the VG technology which insures matching performance with allair gap technologies without any
of downside.

Cold neon discharge low intensity red fixed
OBSTA HI STI and STI

Low intensity type A and B ICAO certified (STAC France) and FAA certified (HI STI only)
Combined with our lengthy experience in hostile environments (EMC, climate etc...), the
principle of cold neon discharge lights gives a proven lifetime of decades on all types of
obstacles, especially the radio towers, the transmission lines
The exposure in high temperature environments does not affet their performance because
cold neon discharge lights are not sensitive to temperature. Therefore their initial luminous
intensity remains stable whatever is ambient temperature and duration of the lights
