    Surge Protection For Lifts

    Uploaded by

    Sándor Barabás
    The document discusses surge protection for lifts (elevators) and provides recommendations. It describes the functions of lifts including smooth starting/stopping, traffic optimization, and energy saving. It also outlines common lift types such as traction, hydraulic, climbing, pneumatic, and electromagnetic propulsion lifts. The document then discusses reasons lifts may be damaged by lightning including damage to master control boards, sensors, and electronic equipment in the machine room. It recommends using surge protection devices (SPDs) to prevent downtime and equipment damage from transients and surges. Specific SPD models are recommended for the main service panel and elevator control panel.

    SURGE PROTECTION FOR

    LIFTS
    MADE BY BARABÁS SÁNDOR
    FUNCTION OF THE LIFTS

    • LIFTS OR ELEVATORS ARE A TYPE OF VERTICAL TRANSPORTATION


    FOUND IN HIGH-RISES AND SKYSCRAPERS THAT ARE PRIMARILY
    UTILIZED TO CONVEY PEOPLE BETWEEN SEVERAL FLOORS.
    • SMOOTH STARTING AND STOPPING CONTROLLED BY A
    FREQUENCY CONVERTER
    • TRAFFIC OPTIMISATION MEASURES (E.G. NO STOP IN CASE OF FULL
    LOAD, PRIORITY TRAVELS, BEHAVIOUR OF LIFTS IN CASE OF FIRE)
    • ENERGY SAVING FUNCTION (CABIN LIGHTING AND VENTILLATOR
    ARE SWITCHED OFF IN CASE OF EMPTY TRAVELS OR STANDSTILL)
    • POWER SUPPLY FUNCTION (THE KINETIC ENERGY GENERATED BY
    GOODS TRANSPORT TOT HE GROUND FLOOR AND EMPTY TRAVELS
    TOT HE TOP FLOORS IS FED INTO THE POWER SUPPLY SYSTEM)
    ELEVATOR TYPES
    TRACTION ELEVATORS: THESE ELEVATORS ARE GENERALLY USED IN HIGH-RISES
    AND OTHER LARGE ESTABLISHMENTS, BOTH FOR TRANSPORTING PEOPLE AND
    FREIGHTS. THESE CAN FURTHER BE CLASSIFIED INTO:
    HYDRAULIC ELEVATORS: THESE ARE LESS COMPLEX THAN THE TRACTION
    ELEVATORS AND ARE HENCE IDEAL FOR LOW TRAFFIC OR LOW-RISE BUILDINGS
    AND ESTABLISHMENTS. USING A HYDRAULIC SYSTEM, THESE ELEVATORS PUSH
    THE ELEVATOR CAR UPWARDS AGAINST THE GRAVITY WHILE THE CAR DESCENDS
    UNDER THE PULL OF GRAVITY.
    CLIMBING ELEVATORS: THESE ARE SELF-ASCENDING AND USE THEIR OWN
    PROPULSION TO ASCEND. THIS PROPULSION CAN EITHER BE ACHIEVED BY A
    COMBUSTION OR ELECTRIC ENGINE. THESE TYPES OF ELEVATORS ARE GENERALLY
    USED IN TOWERS OR GUYED MASTS SO AS TO FACILITATE THE EASY ACCESS FOR
    THE MAINTENANCE OF DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE CONSTRUCTED STRUCTURE.
    PNEUMATIC ELEVATOR: AS THE NAME SUGGESTS THESE ELEVATORS USE A
    VACUUM AND A VALVE TO MOVE THE CAR UPWARDS AND AIR IN PLACE OF THE
    VACUUM TO MOVE IT DOWN. THESE ARE HOWEVER, LOW CAPACITY ELEVATORS
    WHEREIN ONLY ABOUT 3 PASSENGERS WITH A COMBINED WEIGHT OF 525POUNDS
    CAN GET ON IT AT THE SAME TIME.
    ELECTROMAGNETIC PROPULSION ELEVATORS: THESE CABLE-FREE ELEVATORS USE
    ELECTROMAGNETIC PROPULSION TO MOVE THE CAR WHICH CAN MOVER BOTH
    HORIZONTALLY AND VERTICALLY.
    REASONS FOR THE DAMAGE TO
    ELEVATORS CAUSED BY
    LIGHTNING
    DAMAGE TO MASTER CONTROL BOARDS: WHEN BUILDINGS
    HAVING AN ELEVATOR AND THE NEARBY BUILDINGS ARE
    SUBJECTED TO DIRECT LIGHTNING STROKE, THE LIGHTNING
    STROKE BRINGS A HUGE TRANSIENT ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD,
    SO THAT THE LINES OF THE ELEVATOR INDUCE OVERVOLTAGE
    AND OVERCURRENT TO CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE CONTROL
    SYSTEM.
    ONCE AN ELEVATOR IS STRUCK BY LIGHTNING, THESE CONTROL
    DEVICES ARE EASILY INTERFERED OR BURNED OUT DUE TO
    LOW WORKING VOLTAGE. IN THIS LIGHTNING DISASTER, THE
    MASTER CONTROL BOARDS OF FOUR ELEVATORS WERE
    DAMAGED BY LIGHTNING. SUCH DAMAGE ACCOUNTS FOR THE
    MAJORITY OF ELEVATOR ACCIDENTS CAUSED BY LIGHTNING.
    REASONS FOR THE DAMAGE TO ELEVATORS
    CAUSED BY LIGHTNING

    DAMAGE TO SENSORS: ALTHOUGH THE GROUNDING SYSTEM OF AN ELEVATOR IS DESIGNED


    AS A SYSTEM WITH A CERTAIN CAPABILITY OF OVERVOLTAGE PROTECTION, LIGHTNING
    WAVE CAN INVADE THE ELEVATOR DUE TO THE POOR LIGHTNING PROTECTION SYSTEM OF
    THE PARENT ( AN BUILDING ) ITSELF. AS A RESULT, THE TRANSIENT OVERVOLTAGE CAUSED
    BY THE INDUCED CURRENT ON THE POWER LINE OF THE DEVICE IS CAUSED, AND THE
    CONTROL SYSTEM OF HE ELEVATOR IS SUBJECTED TO LIGHTNING STROKE FREQUENTLY. IN
    THIS LIGHTNING DISASTER, THE SENSORS OF TWO ELEVATORS WERE BROKEN BY LIGHTNING
    BECAUSE COMMUNICATION LINES INDUCED LIGHTNING ELECTROMAGNETIC PULSES.
    INTERFERENCE OF ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENTIN THE MACHINE ROOM OF ELEVATORS BY
    LIGHTNING STROKE: OTHER ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT IN THE SAME BUILDING IS STRUCK BY
    LIGHTNING, AND BECAUSE POWER LINES ARE CONNECTED IN THE POWER DISTRIBUTION
    ROOM, THE CONDUCTION AND SHUNTING OF LIGHTNING CURRENT OR LIGHTNING
    INDUCTION CURRENT CAUSES DAMAGE TO ELEVATORS.
    Selecting the appropriate
    THE SPD SOLUTION SPD for your Elevator.

    NEC/NFPA 70 REQUIRE THAT SURGE


    SURGE PROTECTION IS A COST-EFFECTIVE PROTECTIVE DEVICES (SPDS) BE UL
    SOLUTION TO PREVENT DOWNTIME, LISTED. THIS MEANS SELECTING A SURGE
    IMPROVE SYSTEM AND DATA RELIABILITY PROTECTOR IS EASIER THAN IT HAS EVER
    AND ELIMINATION OF EQUIPMENT BEEN. THERE ARE ONLY A FEW CHOICES
    DAMAGE DUE TO TRANSIENTS AND AVAILABLE FOR SPD’S THAT ARE UL
    SURGES FOR BOTH POWER AND SIGNAL LISTED FOR ANY OF THE MOST
    LINES. IT IS SUITABLE FOR ANY FACILITY COMMONLY USED SURGE STANDARDS
    OR LOAD 1000 VOLTS AND BELOW. INCLUDING UL1449 4TH EDITION, UL497B,
    AND UL497E.
    RECOMMENDED SURGE
    PROTECTORS FOR THE MAIN
    SERVICE PANEL

    • EQUIPMENT: MAIN PANELBOARD


    • SYSTEM: 480VAC
    • THE EXACT MODEL: MDS750E-480D
