IEEE C62.36-2000 pdf free.IEEE Standard Test Methods for Surge Protectors Used in Low-Voltage Data, Communications,and Signaling Circuits.
IEEE C62.36 This standard applies to surge protectors for application on multiconductor balanced or unbalanced data,communications, and signaling circuits with voltages equal to or less than 1000 V rms,or 1200 V dc. Thesesurge protectors are designed to limit voltage surges, current surges, or both.
This standard describes the methods of testing and criteria for determining the end of life of electrical surgeprotectors used in low-voltage data, communications, and signaling circuits. The surge protectors coveredare multiple-component series or parallel combinations of linear or nonlinear elements， packaged for thepurpose of limiting voltage, current, or both.
This standard is not intended to cover packaged single gas tube, air gap, varistor,or avalanche junctionsurge-protective devices, which are included in IEEE Std C62.31-1987,’IEEE Std C62.32-1981,IEEE StdC62.33-1982,and IEEE Std C62.35-1987, respectively.Specifically excluded from this standard are testmethods for low-voltage power circuit applications.For protection of wire-line communication facilitiesunder the specialized conditions found at power stations, consult IEEE Std 487-1992.
The tests in this standard are intended as design tests, as defined in the IEEE Dictionary [B1] , and provide ameans of comparison among various multiple-component surge protectors.
The test criteria and definitions of this standard provide a common engineering language beneficial to usersand manufacturers of multiple-component surge protectors.
This clause contains only those definitions of terms relating to surge protectors, occurring within this stan-dard, that are not given in the IEEE Dictionary [B1].
blocking voltage: The maximum voltage that can be applied to current limiting pairs of terminals of asurge protector containing one or more current-protective devices without degradation of the surge protector.
multiport surge protector: A surge protector that provides surge protective function to two or more circuits，such as, but not limited to， paired conductors, coaxial cables，or mains, whereby all conductorsconnected to the protected circuits are routed through a common enclosure having a shared commonterminal.IEEE C62.36 pdf download.
