Surge Protection Devices and Lightning Arresters

Product Description

Product Description

The Problem

Due to the evolution of electronics and microprocessors in the home, we are continually challenged to provide quality (clean) power for electronic loads such as appliances, computers/home office and entertainment systems. Surges (also known as transients) due to lighting, utility grid switching and other sources travel on current carrying conductors through-out the home, which can effect and destroy sensitive electronic loads.

The Solution

Eatons electrical business has developed the most comprehensive family of surge protection devices and lightning arresters installed at service entrance and point-of-use locations, providing quality power required for sensitive electronic loads.

Application Description

Two-Stage Protection

The Institute of Electrical and Elec-tronic Engineers (IEEE) recommends two stages of surge suppression to provide the best protection for elec-tronic equipment. Two-stage surge suppression should be provided for all cables entering a home, including power, Internet, coaxial and telephone.

Stage 1: Primary Protection for Service Entrance

The best place to install surge protec-tion is at the electrical entrance point (loadcenter or breaker panel). This is often where ac power, telephone lines and cable lines are located. Applying a CHSP product to your service entrance (stage 1) will reduce a voltage surge to an acceptable level for appliances and surge strips. See

Figure 4-2

. For added protection, it is recommended that you install surge protection for your cable and telephone lines at the service entrance. Your ac, cable and telephone lines will all have the same ground potential, in one common location, for passing the surge away from your equipment.

Stage 2: Secondary Protection for Point of Use

The Cutler-Hammer

SurgeTrap

surge strip is recommended for sensi-tive electronic loads like computers or entertainment centers. Using a SurgeTrap surge strip (stage 2) reduces any voltage remnant down to an acceptable level.

Stage 1 Service Entrance Surge Protection

Factory Installed

Surge Panel

Industry Breakthrough

Eaton is the first to introduce a factory installed surge protection device that is mounted inside a 120/240 volt loadcenter.

Type CHSUR

The CHSUR loadcenter provides a customer with the lowest system let-through voltage (best protection) when compared to traditional remote/side mounted devices.

The Surge Panel is an internally mounted unit that provides industrial level surge protection in a residential design. The Surge Panel is available with 75 kA/phase surge current com-plete with thermal fusing and provides protection for all residential electrical equipment by reducing power surges,

often caused by lightning, to an acceptable

level for appliances and electronics.

Remote/Side Mounted

Type CHSP Surge Protection

The Cutler-Hammer Surge Protector (CHSP) is an externally mounted unit that provides industrial level surge protection in a residential design. The CHSP is available in four models and provides protection for all residential electrical equipment by reducing power surges, often caused by light-ning, to an acceptable level for appli-ances and electronics. These units can be mounted in any manufacturers breaker panel (loadcenter).

ac Power (Also Includes Cable/Telephone)

Telephone and Cable Accessories

Type CHSP Surge Protection

Eaton also offers a full range of acces-sory products for telephone and cable, including SurgeTel

which protects up to four telephone/modem lines; SurgeCable

which protects up to two cable/satellite lines; and SurgeEthernet featuring protection for high speed Internet hookups.

Transfer Switch PanelsProduct Description

Transfer Switch Panels

All Panels are Manufactured in the USA and Meet UL 1008

Product DescriptionA Transfer Switch Panel is a device that is mounted next to the loadcenter (distribution panel) in the home or small business. The Transfer Switch Panel is used in conjunction with an emergency generator (supplied by others) and serves the purpose of turning selected circuits on and off during a power out-age. The Transfer Switch Panel allows the owner to start up a generator and then restore power to critical circuits when utility power is not available.

The owner designates which circuits are critical such as their refrigerator and certain lights. Sometimes called Emergency Power Panels, Emergency Generator Panels, Gen. Panels, Trans-fer Switches or Emergency Panels; Transfer Switch Panels provide the homeowner or small business owner with a safe and easy way to continue using electrical appliances when the utility power is unavailable.

Application DescriptionTransfer Switch Panels are most often used in residential, agricultural and light commercial applications. Comfort and safety are key concerns of many homeowners who are dependent on an uninterrupted supply of electricity.

Standby Generator SystemsProduct Description

Standby Generator Systems

10 kW, 12 kW

7 kW

Product DescriptionA standby generator system is a package of equipment specifically designed to provide substitute electri-cal power to a residence in the event of a utility power outage or other emergency. These systems are com-prised of a generator, transfer switch, and the connections necessary for installation. The co-branded Briggs & Stratton Power Products/Eatons Cutler-Hammer systems are available in three ratings: 7000 W, 10,000 W and 12,000 W.

A stand-by generator system consists of a permanently installed 7,000, 10,000 or 12,000 watt generator, hardwired to either a 50 ampere, 10-circuit sub-panel, or a 100 or 200 ampere Cutler-Hammer whole house automatic transfer switch.

Standby Generator Systems are most often used in residential, agricultural and light commercial applications. Comfort and safety are key concerns of many homeowners who are dependent on an uninterrupted supply of electricity.

The increase in our dependence on power is due in part to the popularity of home offices and in-home health care. Many regions of the United States experience periodic power outages due to extreme weather conditions such as ice and snowstorms, heat waves, tornadoes or hurricanes.

Portable generator systems are primarily used for smaller homes or for construction sites where temporary power is required. Permanently installed systems are designed for larger homes, small businesses or secondary residences such as vacation

homes, cabins, etc., that require uninterrupted power for critical loads.

Eaton highly recommend, that any generator system be installed by a qualified electrician and/or generator installer.

Application DescriptionAll systems allow the user to pre-select critical circuits that will need power during an outage as shown in Table 4-17.

When selecting the essential circuits that will be switched to Backup Power, it is important that the sum of the combined circuit loads does not exceed the wattage/amperage capacity of the generator. To help you with your selection of essential circuits, please add up the total wattage of all electrical devices to be connected at one time. This total should NOT be greater than the generators wattage capacity.

Table 4-17. Circuit Selection

Notes:

The rated wattage of lights can be taken from light bulbs. The rated wattage of tools, appliances and motors can usually be found on a data plate or decal affixed to the device.

If the appliance, tool or motor does not give wattage, multiply 120 volts times the ampere rating to determine watts (volts x amps = watts).

Some electric motors (induction types) require about three times more watts of power for start-ing than for running. This surge lasts for only a few seconds. Be sure you allow for this high start-ing wattage when selecting electrical devices that will be energized by the backup power system: Figure the watts required to start the largest motor. Add that to the total running watts of all other connected loads.

StructuredWiringSolutionsProduct Description

StructuredWiringSolutions

BR00412001E

Product DescriptionStructured wiring is a simple, affordable way to wire a home for state-of-the-art communications, entertainment, and security now and for many years to come.

The basic concept is that all telephone, television, satellite, coaxial, audio and data communications cables are wired in a star topology (home run) to each room in the home and terminate at a central distribution panel. This distri-bution panel allows flexibility for future modifications and/or additions to keep pace with a homeowners lifestyle and needs.

Structured wiring can also be used as a central hub to interconnect a security system, home automation, HVAC and load control providing a complete sys-tem to increase the security, comfort and convenience for a homeowner.

Today, the demand for structured wir-ing is high due to the impact of the Internet and multi-media applications. Ultimately, people will need a home local area network (LAN) to accommo-date peripheral devices throughout the home. All indication is that the impact of the Internet and coming of broad-band will drive over 80% of structured wiring installations.

Application DescriptionStructured wiring is typically installed in the following areas:

Pre-wiring in new construction. Installations in single-unit homes vs.

wiring multi-dwelling units. Marketing and installation in

production built homes vs. custom-built homes.

Structured Wiring A system is composed of the following:

A distribution panel is used to distribute outside services like cable TV, telephone, DBS satellite, Internet and the like, to locations throughout the home.

Certain services like digital cable, digital satellite, high-speed Internet and HDTV require the second part of the wiring system, high-perfor-mance cables, to allow full access throughout the home. RG-6 coaxial cable for TV and

video distribution Category 5 telephone and data

Each room has a multimedia outlet, which can be customized to users specific needs based on whatservices they want in each room.

Typical Applications

Internet Access, Telephone and Fax All at the Same Time Connect multiple computers, faxes

and telephones so they work together, yet separately.

Access to DSL or cable modem in every room.

Take Home Theater Beyond the TV Room In-house audio distribution. DBS or cable access from any room.

Have 24-Hour Peace of Mind Know your family is safe even

Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI) FIRE-GUARD

FIRE-GUARD Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI)

CH115AF

BR115AF

Product DescriptionEatons Cutler-Hammer FIRE-GUARD Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI) is a residential circuit breaker with an inte-grated processor which recognizes the unique current and/or voltage signa-tures associated with arcing faults, and acts to interrupt the circuit to reduce the likelihood of an electrical fire. With the FIRE-GUARD AFCI, protection from arcing faults is combined with conven-tional thermal and magnetic overloads as found in standard residential circuit breakers protecting wiring from exces-sive heat or damage due to overload-ing or short circuits. FIRE-GUARD AFCI can also be equipped with 5 mA ground fault protection to protect from per-sonal shock hazards. Now, there is a residential circuit breaker that provides protection from arcing faults, conductor damage due to thermal overloads and short circuits, as well as 5 mA ground fault protection in one integrated design.


BackgroundPrior to the FIRE-GUARD AFCI, present-day residential circuit breakers were designed to protect wiring from excessive heating by opening auto-matically when an overload condition was present. These breakers typically contain a bimetal and magnetic trip element. During low current overloads, heating of the bimetal element causes the breaker to unlatch the contact-sepa-ration mechanism, turning power off in the affected circuit. For high overcurrent conditions, such as short circuits, the high magnetic field associated with high current flow causes the instantaneous tripping of the breaker mechanism. The breaker response time is a function of the circuit current and time, with faster response at higher currents. In particular, the circuit breaker Time versus Current characteristics, is selected to prevent conductor damage. Present overcurrent devices, such as circuit breakers and fuses, represent a major safety feature in todays residences. They prevent exces-sive temperatures in the conductors or conductor insulation and they reduce the incidence of household fires, to a great extent, through their prevention of over-heating effects.

The response time of present-day circuit breakers is determined solely by the duration and magnitude of the circuit overcurrent. This response is adequate to protect the wiring if the circuit wir-ing integrity has been maintained. However, once this integrity has been compromised via broken wires or deteriorated insulation, electric arcs can occur. These arcs are characterized by a plasma flame which can release temperatures in excess of 6000C. An arcing fault can go undetected by a thermal, as well as magnetic trip ele-ment. The challenge answered by the FIRE-GUARD AFCI is to enhance circuit protection by identifying the presence of arcing faults, and responding to their presence by opening the circuit in times which are faster than standard circuit breakers. By integrating custom electronics into a present-day circuit breaker, the FIRE-GUARD meets the chal-lenge and offers enhanced protection from household fires.

Arcs in Wiring

Parallel ArcsElectrical arcs can be placed into two categories. The most familiar and dra-matic arcs in residential wiring are associated with short circuit arcs between two conductors. In a parallel arc, the load is paralleled by the arcing fault. An example would be the acci-dental severing of the power cord and a hedge trimmer or other power tool. A less obvious example would be the deterioration of insulation in the wiring behind a wall, due for example, to the cumulative effect of electrical surges, heat or moisture over many years. A parallel arc can often sputter on and off for extended periods of time without detection, increasing the risk of fire.

Series ArcsArcs can also occur at a break in a single conductor. These series arcs are relatively low current since they are in a series with the load. In practice, it is difficult to sustain such arcs since copper-to-copper arcing is unsustain-able at 125 Vac. However, such arcing can occur in the presence of carbon-ized insulation. The arcs are typically sputtering and intermittent in nature, and tend to alert the homeowner since they lead to intermittent device opera-tion such as flickering lighting loads.

In Figure 4-9 (Page 4-32) residential wiring has been divided into four zones. The Cutler-Hammer FIRE-GUARD AFCI will provide parallel arc detection and protection in Zones 1, 2 and 3 and it will respond to arcing to ground in all three of these zones. FIRE-GUARD AFCI responds to series arcs in two conductor plus ground fixed premises wiring (Type N-B wire) of Zone 1.

Types of AFCIsThe 2005 NEC allows current AFCI products (branch/feeder AFCIs) or a 2nd type of AFCI (combination type) to be installed. The UL AFCI standard defines a combination AFCI as meeting the requirements for both branch/feeder and outlet circuit AFCIs.

Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI)FIRE-GUARD

As of July 2005, combination AFCIs are not available from any manufacturer. These should not be confused with the dual-listed Cutler-Hammer AFCI/GF breakers that are available today from Eatons electrical business. Eaton AFCIs include both ground fault and arc fault protection. The ground fault threshold is either 30 mA or 5 mA (listed to UL 943). A study conducted by UL has shown that such dual-listed devices are effec-tive in mitigating the effects of a glowing contact. A UL STP (Standards Technical Panel) is now considering adding a ground fault protection test to UL 1699.

A combination AFCI has the same functionality as a branch/feeder AFCI with the additional ability to detect low-level arcs.

Application Data FIRE-GUARD AFCI circuit breakers

can be applied to all residential, commercial and industrial 15 and 20 ampere, 120/240 Vac applications utilizing a loadcenter approved for use with Cutler-Hammer Type CH or BR circuit breakers.

FIRE-GUARD AFCI circuit breakers are to be applied in applications where you want to reduce the risk of electrical fires caused by electrical arcing, as well as protect conductors from overcurrents and short circuits.

The single-pole FIRE-GUARD AFCI breaker is applied in single-phase 120 Vac applications. The 2-pole common trip FIRE-GUARD AFCI breaker is applied in 3-wire 120/240 Vac 3-wire circuits and 240 Vac circuits sourced by 120/240 Vac.

The 2-pole independent trip FIRE-GUARD AFCI breaker is applied in 120 Vac multi-wired circuits utiliz-ing a shared neutral (often referred to as a home-run circuit).

The FIRE-GUARD AFCI/GFCI breaker can be used when AFCI (UL 1699) and 5 mA GFCI (UL 943) protection is required.

The FIRE-GUARD AFCI can be used in conjunction with a downstream GFCI device such as a receptacle or ground fault relay.

All FIRE-GUARD AFCI type breakers are HACR rated.

All FIRE-GUARD AFCI 15 and 20 ampere breakers are SWD rated.

The 2-pole AFIT (Arc Fault Independent Trip) breaker is required for shared neu-tral circuits. In many cases, contractors will run one of 3-conductor wire in lieu of two runs of 2-conductor wire. (Note: When discussing the number of conduc-tors in NM-B cable, the ground wire is not counted. Therefore, the 3-conductor NM-B has two hot and one neutral wire.) This wiring method saves a consider-able amount of labor. The 3-conductor is connected to two individual circuit breakers, and the two circuits share the neutral and ground wires. AFCI breakers wire in the same manner as GFCI in that the neutral wire is brought back and connected to the breaker, and the pigtail of the breaker is wired to the neutral bar. In a shared neutral application, since two circuits are sharing one neutral wire, it is impossible to connect the one neutral wire to two individual circuit breakers. The AFIT allows for both circuits to share the neutral wire.


Impact of Arc Fault BreakersThe FIRE-GUARD AFCI represents a major step forward in electrical safety: a step which is expected to have a major impact on the quoted fire statis-tics. In particular, the Consumer Prod-uct Safety Commission (CPSC) has reported that more than 35 percent of all electrical wiring fires are associated with the fixed wiring in Zone 1, and the present AFCI will respond to both parallel and series arcs in this zone (see Figure 4-9). The Task Force of the NEMA Molded Case Circuit Breaker Section also analyzed fire statistics provided by a major insurance com-pany. Figure 4-10 shows the percent-age of electrical fires associated with the various zones. This figure again indicates that many fires are associ-ated with Zone 1, with statistics similar to those reported by CPSC.

In addition to detecting and interrupt-ing potentially dangerous arcs in Zone 1, the present AFCI would also detect parallel arcs in Zones 2 and 3, and respond to all arcs to ground (see Figure 4-9). As such, the circuit breaker and AFCI represent a major safety improvement over the present-day circuit breakers.

It must be noted that AFCIs will mitigate the effect of arcing faults, but will not eliminate them completely. Even under optimum conditions, there will always be at least one arcing half-cycle, and this could cause ignition at high currents.
