TUV Rheinland released new criteria 2 PfG 2634.08.17 – Additional test for Multi-pulses Surge protective devices connected to low-voltage power systems – Requirements and test methods

The standard on the basis of the original international standard test increases the multiple-pulses test, the test technology closer to the line transmission distribution side of the SPD surge in environment simulation, affected by the natural lightning physical characteristics for understanding thunder and lightning, lightning defense provides a new platform for the high level research, is advantageous for the targeted development to adapt to the different application in the field of lightning protection products, to provide the rectification of the running of hundreds of millions of SPD only online technical support, will also promote global SPD R&D and production technology upgrading.

The conference invited many experts in the field of the SPD, together for the SPD related enterprise management, technology, quality, research and development of personnel to unscramble the SPD new standards, to help enterprises to enhance research and development ability, designed to meet the requirements of quality products, help each big manufacturer to enter the international market, promote the enterprise image.

The SPD testing standard from single-pulse to multi-pulse

With the continuous development of electronic technology, all kinds of advanced electronic products are widely used in construction, transportation, electric power, communication, chemical industry and other fields, and with the low voltage power distribution system in a variety of electrical components of the intelligent gradually, a large number of low pressure value, high sensitivity, high integration of electronic components to the application. However, lightning overvoltage or operating overvoltage, often bring fatal harm to the electronic components. Therefore, in order to prevent lightning overvoltage and operating over-voltage damage to the electrical and electronic equipment and improve the safety and reliability of equipment system, all kinds of SPD products has been widely used.

However, due to the human physical characteristics of the thunder also lacks enough clear and definite understanding, lightning causes many kinds of theories are based on some prerequisites and hypothesis, and the wide application of surge protector, lightning protection products, mainly based on the understanding of the single pulse lightning. Global production of the SPD in the past are also in accordance with the international electrotechnical commission IEC 61643 products research and development and production of technical standards, and by lightning high-voltage laboratories use 10/350μs or 8/20μs test of single pulse shock wave.

In fact, in recent years the monitoring results of the thunder and lightning and thunder and lightning protection practice show that the lightning with a single pulse high voltage laboratory test SPD methods, and the facts of the real lightning stroke at a time of multiple pulse, by single pulse inspection of SPD in real tolerance when struck by lightning, and its nominal value, also often leads to the SPD overheat burst into flames, causing fire accident. Therefore, can withstand shock pulses SPD become more urgent needs in the field of lightning protection at home and abroad, also provides manufacturers with good opportunities for development.

But as a result of the SPD manufacturers update a lack of understanding of appropriate standards, there are some limitations in terms of product design, causes the SPD production enterprises difficult to achieve breakthroughs in product development and production, struggling in exploring international market.

In order to promote the development of resistance to multiple pulse impact the SPD product, TUV Rheinland joint domestic authority of the SPD testing agencies – “Beijing Leishan Testing Center”, combining with the characteristics of domestic enterprises, with the SPD multiple pulse testing and certification standards and solutions, for related enterprises to provide fast and comprehensive solutions, assist the SPD enterprises into the international market.

The SPD TUV Rheinland certification has been widely recognized in the world, the experienced experts to provide safety and quality assurance for the product, and help customers to get the latest technical knowledge and market dynamics. In addition, the TUV Rheinland owns the entire customer base, can assist the SPD manufacturers expand customer channels.

Multiple-pulses surge protector (MSPD) background and current situation of the test standard

In November 2017, Germany TUV Rheinland Group released the “connect to low-voltage power supply system of multiple pulse surge protective device additional test – performance requirements and test methods (IEC61643.11-2011/2 PFG 2634), and “Beijing Leishan Testing Center” TUV Rheinland SPD product cooperation lab opening.

2 PFG 2634/08.17 standard is based on the original international standard test increases the multiple pulse test, the test technology is more close to the line transmission distribution side of the SPD surge environment influenced by natural lightning physical characteristics, for meet the thunder, lightning defense provides a research direction of higher level, is advantageous for the targeted development to adapt to the different application in the field of lightning protection products, to provide the rectification of the running of hundreds of millions of SPD only online technical support, promote global SPD R&D and production technology upgrading.

Duration 2 PFG 2634/08.17 standard released the second anniversary, the director of Sun Yong of “Beijing Leishan Testing Center” and The engineer Yang Yongming of Germany Rhine TUV, jointly reviewed the 2 PFG 2634/08.17 test standard drafting process, and introduces the present development situation.

Sun Yong: multiple-pulses standard drafting process

In 2016 Beijing Leishan company established the lightning multiple pulse high voltage laboratory. Surge protector by the multiple pulse of China invention patent holder surge protector (MSPD) and multiple pulse test standard (draft) draftsman, the famous lightning protection expert Yang Shaojie authorization, the “Beijing Leishan Testing Center” won the surge protector MSPD write multiple pulse test standard (draft) of copyright. To this end, Beijing lightning center organization technical team of MSPD and single pulse of current surge protector (SPD) for further study. After thousands of times of component testing, including the T1, T2 and T3 MSPD and SPD and used in the production of various specifications of MOV surge protector, GDT, open, micro fracture and SCB components, such as transmission cables, air terminals etc, accumulated a large amount of test data, to write multiple pulse surge protector MSPD test standard provides important data to support.

Surge protector MSPD multiple pulse test standard of writing, with reference to the international conference on power grid (CIGRE) published in 2013, the technical report engineering application of lightning parameters (English version), this article is for the big international grid meeting published more than 30 years ago, the parameters of the lightning (Berger, k. Anderson R.B. and Kroninger h. 1975. The Electra No. 41, pp. 23-37) published in 1980 and the engineering application of lightning parameters (Anderson R.B. and Eriksson A.J. 1980. Electra No. 69, pp. 65-102.) the revision. This paper clearly pointed out in the summary: “more than 80% of the flash is negative to consisting of two or more than two back. This percentage significantly higher than the previous Andersonand Eriksson (1980), which is based on the records of inaccurate estimate of 55%.Each flash average response times for 3-5, about 60 ms interval geometric average. About one-third to one-half of the flash, in a few kilometers apart two or more than two locations. But each flash only a position record, lightning density measured value correction factor is about 1.5 to 1.7, significantly higher than the Anderson and Eriksson 1.1 (1980) had previously estimated. Response for the first time the peak current usually is greater than later after the return current peak 2 to 3 times. However, about a third of the flash contains at least one after having a large peak electric field after back. In theory, its current peak also should be greater than the first time. Is greater than the first hit back after the return to power lines and other system constitutes the additional threat “.

On August 12, 2008, Guangzhou negative polarity field test base of artificial triggering lightning thunder lightning has eight times, the Chinese Academy of Sciences atmosphere Qie xiushu team summarizes artificial triggering lightning experiments in Shandong province from 2005 to 2010 as a whole, in the observed 22 lightning discharge, 95% for pulse, 17 times discharge time more than 400 ms (millisecond), maximum pulse number 11.Engineering application of electrical parameters on the phenomenon of lightning discharge pulse more quantitative description, further proves that the combination of multiple pulse characteristics are universal: namely the combination of multiple pulse wave has two maximum, the average pulse interval is 60 ms, finally a pulse with a pulse interval before 400 ms. Surprisingly, a famous SPD, used to test the nominal discharge current 20 kA, measured through the 1.64 kA lightning current fire explosion (8 pulses).This experiment, not only observed multiple pulse of lightning discharge phenomenon, but also illustrates the research can be used in multiple pulse lightning pulse discharge phenomenon of MSPD importance and urgency.

A combination of international and domestic for lightning impulse phenomenon of observation and test data, editorial committee adopted the 8/20μs (including 10 S pulse as the combined pulse MSPD impact current wave.

According to the physical parameters of lightning discharge pulse more, multiple pulse wave, the first pulse and the last one pulse amplitude of nominal value, intermediate pulse amplitude for 1/2 nominal value; The first pulse to pulse interval between 9 to 60 ms, before finally a pulse with a pulse interval is 400 ms.

Should clear, certain specifications, single pulse without backup protection device (SPD) can also be through five of the combined pulse wave impact. According to the national test standard, after the backup protection device and the SPD series multiple pulse shock wave, or don’t have to replace copper nonlinear components of short-circuit tolerance test, the basic can’t pass the test. The fact that contributed to the drawing board to write multiple pulse MSPD the urgency of the test standard, because only the written work as soon as possible, via a standard guide, for lightning protection technology research and development personnel and production enterprises pulse MSPD direction, can effectively promote the lightning protection of the improvement of product technology and the healthy development of the lightning protection and disaster mitigation.

Yang Yongming: multiple-pulses MSPD test standard enacted over the past two years

2 PFG 2634 “connect to low voltage power supply system of multiple pulse surge protective device additional test – performance requirements and test methods” enacted after the relevant domestic and international organization for standardization response quickly.

Society in 2018, “the society released 2018 annual standard (first) planning of notice” (public word [2018] no. 50), approved by Nanjing Kuanyong Electronics Co., Ltd., writing of the highway multiple pulse lightning protection design specification and technology standard “.

In 2018, live to build a project, or committee to write “the pulse of the low-voltage distribution system surge protector – performance requirements and test methods.

ILPS held in Shenzhen in 2018, the 4th international symposium on lightning protection, the chairman of the International Electrotechnical Commission IEC SC37A Alain Rousseau specifically mentioned this standard, and in the heart of the speeches PPT the IEC61643.11-2011/2 PFG 2634 “connect to low voltage power supply system of multiple pulse surge protective device additional test – performance requirements and test methods of joint use, for the first time by the Chinese to write your own premises must be approved by the IEC international standards.

In 2019, the Chinese meteorological services association approved Beijing lightning detection center project to write the lightning impulse test more general guidelines, it is a foundation to the development of multiple pulse technology standard, the standard stipulated in the pulse interval, waveform requirements, all of these are based on 30 years of international natural lightning engineering parameters research, statistical induction general wave form the standardization of laboratory.

In July 2019, the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) issued IEC61400-24-2019 “the lightning protection of wind energy system” first 8.5.5.12: the resistance of the SPD lightning pulse more shocks. Because of the wind turbine lightning under high frequency, and the SPD in the wind turbine is very critical, so should be able to withstand multiple SPD lightning.(note: multiple strokes; Multiple Pulse; Multiple flashes. Multi – pulse can be translated into multiple pulse).

Solstice on 30 October 2019 on October 31, by the Beijing lightning protection device test center, the lightning protection of academic committee of China architectural society led editor group standard “the pulse of the low-voltage distribution system surge protector – performance requirements and test methods of working group meeting will be held in Beijing. According to the architectural society of China architectural society of China in 2019 standard planning “, required by the unit in compilation work completed by the end of June 2020 standard.

Sun Yong: about multiple-pulses waveform parameters of shock wave

In spite of the international and domestic SPD testing standards, useful 10/350μs waveform for classification of SPD impulse current test for T1, adapt to the 10/350μs current shock of SPD generally need to use the switch type device, flow cut-off type switch device is a difficult problem, and pressure limiting device on the response time is another problem. Internationally, the 10/350μs waveform parameters used for the SPD impulse current test has been controversial. A large number of observed data show that 10/350μs waveform and natural lightning discharge form of multiple pulse waveform parameters, 8/20μs than 10/350μs waveform parameter s waveform parameters is closer to nature lightning discharge pulse waveform parameters, and the simulation of natural lightning pulse waveform parameters as far as possible is the pursuit of laboratory. This is the drawing board with 8/20μs waveform parameters as MSPD impact current wave, one of the reasons.

According to the international and domestic SPD testing standard, measure whether the SPD can be classified as T1 parameter is not the most important index of impulse current waveform parameters, but the impact of discharge current peak Iimp; Specific energy charge Q and W/R. National standard GB50057-2010 by code for design of building lightning protection T1 is 12.5 KA of the Q value of 6.25 AS; W/R value of 39 kj/Ω.

To this end, we laboratory use 8/20μs waveform of 10 mu s pulse wave, the pressure limiting type multiple pulse MSPD experiment.60 ka surge current of the Q value of 6.31 AS; W/R is 52.90 kj/Ω. Data show that multiple pulse MSPD type uses the pressure limiting device can completely through the T1 test, well solved using type switch devices are two big problems. This is the drawing board with 8/20μs waveform parameters as MSPD impulse current wave, another reason.

Yang Yongming: China’s multi-pulses MSPD technology more aroused the concern of the international competitors

China multiple pulse MSPD core technology by Guangdong shield company after nearly a decade of research and a large number of trials have, more than 2014 years of T1, T2 and T3 pulse MSPD gained national patent. Internationally, there are the United States, Germany, Singapore, Bangladesh, France and other countries lightning protection experts to review and discuss., chairman of IEC 2014 SC37A Alain Rousseau personally led the two German experts to shield, the ground to the performance of the single pulse SPD and pulse MSPD contrast experiment, October 13, 2014, the 32nd session of ICLP’s conference in Shanghai, Alain chairman made a titled “to increase pulse test” for the SPD’s speech.

Sun Yong: MSPD series products in the market demand

After a lot of testing, MSPD batch production of specialized components supply chain is established. Starting in 2019, using the shield of Guangdong multi-pulses MSPD patent technology of MSPD series products passed the Beijing lightning center IEC61643.11-2011/2 PFG 2634 “connect to low voltage power supply system of multiple pulse surge protective device additional test – performance requirements and test methods of detection, come into the market.

There is no doubt that in multiple pulse MSPD test standard, under the guide of MSPD in China will gradually replace traditional SPD, provide high quality technical service for the lightning protection and disaster mitigation, in order to ensure the security of China’s economic construction and people’s life and property play a positive role. Can be predicted that in our country, the standardization management in the field of lightning protection, lightning protection experts and researchers, as well as the evaluation, testing and engineering technical personnel’s joint efforts, in the near future, China’s surge protection devices (SPDs) cause will be up to a new level, and will go abroad, the service of the world.

Surge protective devices (SPDs), the necessity of multiple-pulses test by TUV certification

At present, human technology is still a lack of clear enough for lightning protection and clear cognition, big in the field of all imaginable, small to a small box, there are requirements of lightning protection, lightning protection method also has a lot of, such as the lightning rod guide, uses the same charges generator, and is currently the most used surge protector (SPD), is a kind of for various kinds of electronic equipment, instrumentation, communications lines provide security protection of the electronic device. Due to lightning highly destructive, instantaneous current can reach hundreds of thousands of amps, often bring fatal harm to electronic components. Therefore, in order to improve the safety and reliability of equipment system, all kinds of surge protector (SPD) has been widely used. The corresponding surge protector TUV certification requirements is also very big.

Lightning causes a variety of theories, on the other hand, based on some prerequisites and hypothesis, which affects the development of the technique of lightning protection, so the current widely used in the surge protector (SPD), such as lightning protection products are based on single pulse lightning know, IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) will surge protector (SPD) performance testing experiment waveform is defined as 8/20μs and 10/350μs wave, etc.

The SPD testing standard from single-pulse to multi-pulse

At present, the global lightning high-voltage laboratory according to IEC 61643-2011 for the SPD with single waveform test, while the impact of a single waveform is not in conformity with the physical characteristics of natural lightning (90% natural lightning discharge is negative stroke, at the same time sequence pulse discharge process).According to the standard test qualified products online runtime burst into flames problems still exist, for electricity, communications, safety brought huge losses, etc. IEC standard of SPD mainly solved the different applications of the SPD design agency requirements and single impact resistance, short circuit resistance, TOV tolerance ability under the condition of lightning and the lightning safety. Is IEC standard for the newest trend of IEC next update about launched in 2019, the whole architecture compared to the current larger happens, will be based on IEC 61643-1 basic concepts and requirements, to 11 for the power SPD testing methods and requirements, – 21 for signal SPD testing methods and requirements, – 31 for photovoltaic SPD testing methods and requirements, – 41 for dc SPD testing methods and requirements.

For a discharge of repeated impact problem has always been an important issue in the field of lightning protection research in the world. Based on this, Germany Rheinland TUV drafted 2 PFG 2634/08.17 SPD multiple pulse technology standards. The standard on the basis of the original international standard test increases the multiple pulse test, the test technology is more close to the simulation of natural lightning physical characteristics, to meet the thunder, defense thunderbolt provides a new platform for the high level research, is advantageous for the targeted development to adapt to the different application in the field of lightning protection products, to provide online the rectification of the running of hundreds of millions of SPD only technical support, will also push for global SPD R&D and production technology upgrades.

Due to the SPD manufacturers update a lack of understanding of appropriate standards, there are some limitations in terms of product design, causes the SPD production enterprises difficult to achieve breakthroughs in product development and production, struggling in exploring international market.

In order to promote the development of resistance to multiple pulse impact the SPD product, TUV Rheinland joint domestic authority of the SPD testing institutions, combining with the characteristics of domestic enterprises and for related enterprises to provide fast and comprehensive solutions, assist the SPD enterprises into the international market.

The SPD TUV Rheinland certification has been widely recognized in the world, the experienced experts to provide safety and quality assurance for the product, and help customers to get the latest technical knowledge and market dynamics. In addition, the TUV Rheinland owns the entire customer base, can assist the SPD manufacturers expand customer channels.

Description
Multiple-pulse surge protector
Technical field

[0001] the invention relates to a surge protector, belong to prevent lightning protection equipment technical field, especially refers to a kind of multiple pulse surge protector. Technical background

[0002] Along with the advance of science and technology, the continuous development of electronic technology, all kinds of advanced electronic products are increasingly extensive application in the information industry, transportation, electric power, finance, chemical industry and other fields in the system. And with a variety of electrical components in the low-voltage distribution system intelligent step by step, the result is to choose a large amount of low pressure value, high sensitivity, high integration of electronic components. Lightning overvoltage or operating overvoltage, however, often bring fatal harm to the electronic components, makes the breadth, depth and frequency overvoltage damage are increasing. Therefore, in order to prevent lightning overvoltage and operating over-voltage damage to the electrical and electronic equipment and improve the safety and reliability of equipment system, all kinds of Surge protector has been widely used.

[0003] countries of the world’s production of surge protector SH) are carried out in accordance with the IEC/TC61643 product technology standard research and development and production and via high pressure of lightning laboratory using 10/350μs or 8/20μs test of single pulse shock wave. In the IEC61643-1:2011 and China’s national standard GB50057-2010 “code for design of the building lightning protection, surge protector of the low-voltage distribution system is divided into three test methods, and use Τ1, T2 and T3, respectively.

[0004] of the existing surge protector can be divided into general switch SPD and voltage- limiting SPD, switch SPD can withstand the direct lightning on formation of the large capacity of impact current, but there is limit high voltage, long reaction time, stream off difficult.SH) and the latest research also suggests that switch mode response time is too slow (type pressure limiting the response time of the SPD acuities were 20 ns, the response time of the switch type SPD > 200 us, average real lightning current pulse length < 180 us, 119.6 us), shortest lead to lightning current can’t have very good inhibitory effect, tend to be damaged by the lightning impulse type 2 SPD and equipment and the first-level switch SPDs doesn’t work. Although the SPD of voltage-limiting type fast response time, low voltage limit, but it can only carry a limited impact current, and requires its own backup protection can not only through a large pulse current but also in smaller power frequency current through breaking fast, and breaking time less than 5 seconds.

[0005] At present there is no international technology solutions to solve these technical problems, therefore in the IEC 61643-1:2011 in the first 8.3.5.3 regulation should adopt appropriate alternatives (simulated) instead of copper. But the use of copper instead of switch SPD or voltage-limiting SPD does not conform to the actual situation of SPD shorted, fire explosion phenomenon often occurs in actual operation. Installed in the building, on the other hand, the second level of SPD require secondary test in accordance with the provisions of GB50057-2010, T2, with 8/20μs waveform. In order to be able to pass the secondary test, usually 2 SH) using pressure limiting device is designed, the pressure limiting type SPD (T2) has a larger flow ability of 8/20μs current waveform, but by 10/350μs waveform current ability is only 1/20 of its nominal value. And according to the current national standards, international in the short circuit current test need to adopt the appropriate alternatives (simulated) instead of copper core component. Not only that, further scientific experiments and lightning protection practice shows that the thunder with a single pulse high voltage laboratory test SPD methods and the facts of the real lightning stroke at a time of multiple pulse, via high pressure of lightning lab to the test of single pulse SPD in a real tolerance and its nominal value when struck by lightning, often lead to burst into flames SPD overheating, fire accidents.
