The Solution Cascaded Protection Network

The Optimal SineTamer® Protection Network consists of installing various types of protection units, strategically located at specific points where the critical equipment is located. These are known as levels 1 and 2, where an equipment failure can be lethal to profitability! The type, number and location of the specific SineTamer® units are determined by an on-site-survey by a trained BlitzTek Representative.

This should be done on all of the panels, conducting a requirement analysis based on the critical nature of the connected loads. This cascade system will best cover all paths where transients are deemed to occur, reducing and eliminating the destructive effects of both types of transients. Even in the most severe conditions your system will survive, and your equipment will continue operating.

Number One in power quality problem

Transients, spikes, surges… these disturbances are the most destructive, costly and common power quality events in industry today. These events represent billions of Rands a month in maintains and production costs. Over the years as virtually all equipment has become increasingly microprocessor based, such failures are more recurrent and costlier.

Other events such as fluctuation, blackouts and harmonics cause significant problems that are without a doubt disruptive, however as compared to transients, are much lower in actual damages

Transients are able to stop equipment and plants for extended periods of time, causing disruptions in the processes, delays in deliveries and loss of credibility to clientele . Often, the repair costs are minimal compared to the cost of lost profits or deferred production. Equipment downtime prevents delivery of product demand and services that customers require

The Problem Transient Environment

What is a Transient? Transient surges are defined as momentary bursts of energy that are induced upon power, data, or communication lines. They are characterized by extremely high voltages that can drive tremendous amounts of current into an electrical circuit for a few millionths, up to a few thousandths of a second. They can climb as high as 100,00 0volts during extreme events such as lightning, as high as 10,00 volts due to utility substation switching, as high as 6,000 volts for switching inductive loads, and as small yet disruptive as 2,000 volts created internally. These internal causes can account for more than a million events per hour in heavy industrial environments.

It is critical to invest in protection systems in order to mitigate the damages caused by transients. The investment is SineTamer® products will cut annual maintains electrical and / or electronic cost and provide the befit of return of investment that typically ranges from 3 – 18 months. Remember that these damages can occur at any time and in various ways: during a thunderstorm, a failure in the electrical system, in a blackout or even by a curious squirrel stumbling into an electrical transformer.

Critical Systems, always in danger Electronic control systems can be found at: water treatment facilities, traffic control systems, point of sales terminals, automated industrial process plants, air traffic control systems, data processing centres, communication systems, radio base stations of cellular phone companies, clinics and hospitals, laboratories, financial centres, UPS’s and all manner of military defence systems. The consequences resulting from failures in these delicate circuits can, in many cases, be devastating.

External reasons – 20% Dramatic and catastrophic lightning or electrical system failures represent 20% of the transient problems.

Internal reasons – 80% Switching of internal loads can produce up to 1,000,000 non-catastrophic yet disruptive transients per hour in very active industrial environments. This constant bombardment causes severe cumulative damage (electronic rust) and eventually serious failures.

O-line (Pty) Ltd ___________________________

Lightning and surge protection standards: When planning and executing a lightning protection system, it is necessary to observe all relevant national annexes and take account of any special circumstances or applications and the safety stipulations in the relevant country-specific supplements. A lightning and surge protection system consists of several systems, each tailored to each of the others. At its most basic, a lightning and surge protection system consists of one internal and one external lightning protection system. These, in turn, can be categorised as follows: • Air-termination devices • Down-conductors • Earthing systems • Area shielding • Separation distance • Lightning protection equipotential bonding system

These systems must be carefully selected for the application at hand and used in a coordinated way. Installation of the systems takes place according to various application and product standards. The supplements to the international IEC guidelines and harmonised European versions of the various country-specific translations often contain additional informative information specific to the country in question.

Product standards To ensure that the components can withstand the loads to which they are likely to be exposed in application, they must be checked against the respective product standard for external and internal lightning protection.

Storm Detection

Thunderstorm detectors are particularly useful for those responsible for decision making (state or local government, public or private companies) who need to protect human lives and equipment from the destructive effects of lightning.

Standard EN 50536 on “Protection against lightning: thunderstorm warning systems” describes the basic requirements for sensors and sensor networks collecting data of thunderstorm evolution in real time. The standard also provides a method for determining the need for the data from a thunderstorm detector regarding preventive measures.

Warning information from a storm detector enables us to initiate preventive measures before the beginning of thunderstorm activity and deactivates itself when the storm ends. Storm detection enables normal activity to cease for however long is necessary when the risk is present, thereby saving costs incurred due to alarm duration and activity cessation.

The steps towards appropriate

ASSESSMENT of the need of DETECTION in advance of LOWERING the risk by means Having information from a the risk of lightning when of preventive actions before

Detector (EN 50536) the area to be protected thunderstorm activity begins.

Preventive protection does not replace external lightning protection or internal protection against overvoltage’s, rather it complements both. However, when external and internal protection cannot be implemented, preventive protection may be used alone.

DETECTORS MEASURING THE ELECTRIC FIELD

They provide information on the characteristics of the local atmospheric electric field, by means of which the possibility of lightning discharge can be deduced. They provide a warning before the first lightning bolt.

The storm detector ATSTORM® is the ideal tool for preventive protection against the effects of storms and lightning since it enables us to obtain specific measurements with at least twenty or more minutes' notice before the imminent risk of a thunderstorm, thereby safeguarding people and equipment from its destructive effects.

Lightning & Surge Protection SPD’s

SELECTION OF LIGHTNING & SURGE ARRESTERS

In accordance with IEC 61643-11, SPDs (surge protection devices) are divided into three type classes – type 1, type 2 and type 3 (classes I, II and III). These standards contain regulations, requirements and tests for surge protection devices used in AC networks with nominal voltages of up to 1,000 V AC and nominal frequencies of be 50 AND 60Hz. Lightning current arrester type 1 Lightning Current arresters of type 1 are used at the entry to the building. The connection is connected parallel to the main incoming power lines of electrical system. Surge arrester type 2 Surge arresters of type 2 are used in main and sub-distributors. The protection devices must be used before a residual current protective device (RCD), as it would otherwise interpret the surge current as a residual current and interrupt the power circuit. Surge arrester, type 3 Type 3 surge arresters are used to protect against inductive coupling and switching surges in the device power circuits. These surge voltages occur primarily between the phase (L) and the neutral cable (N). The Y circuit protects the L and N lines with varistor circuits and makes the connection to the PE line through a spark gap. Thanks to this protection circuit, transverse voltages are arrested without the residual current device (RCD) interpreting the surge current as a residual current and interrupting the power circuit. To protect sensitive controllers, the protection level must be below 1,500 V. Choosing the right surge protection devices The classification of surge protection devices into types means they can be matched to different requirements with regards to location, protection level and current-carrying capacity. Co-ordinations of Arrestors To utilize maximum protection efficiency, it is necessary to create the correct co-ordination between Type 1 and Type 2 SPD in a protection system. If Type 1 and Type 2 SPDs are installed side by side in the same distribution board (location), it will be necessary to install a decoupling element or a Combined Type 1 & 2 SPD. Power supply networks are built following different wiring systems, defined in low voltage codes. It is necessary to know this information about the line to be protected in order to determine the overvoltage protection installation. Electrical supply systems are characterized by their connections, on the one hand, with the distribution or supply grounding network and, on the other, the receiver installation ground. Systems are named using a letter code indicating the situation of the supply with respect to the earthing T - indicates direct connection, I - indicates isolation, N - indicates connection to neutral

19 | P a g e

Quick Selection Guide Protection for low voltage systems

MAIN ELECTRICAL SUPPLY SYSTEMS:

TN SYSTEMS

TN systems have one point of the supply, generally the neutral, directly connected to earth. The exposed conductive part of the receiver installation is connected to that point by protective conductors. There are several TN distribution systems depending on the relative arrangement of the neutral conductor and the protective earth (PE) conductor.

TN-C When the protective earth (PE) and the neutral are combined in the same conductor along the whole system then overvoltage protection is complete merely by installing protectors between each phase and the corresponding neutral/earth conductor.

TN-S However, if neutral and earth are two different conductors, then protectors should be installed between the phase or neutral and earth.

TT SYSTEM

TT systems have one point of the supply, generally the neutral, directly connected to earth. The exposed conductive part of the receiver installation is connected to a separate earth system. To protect these systems against transient overvoltage, it is necessary to at least place protectors between each phase and neutral, and between neutral and earth.

IT SYSTEM (not common)

IT systems have no direct connection between a certain point of the supply and the earth, nonetheless the exposed conductive part of the receiver installations is directly connected to earth. In this type of system, it is not recommended to distribute the neutral. However, overvoltage protection needs a common point where the protector earth terminals must be connected, and this common point will be connected to earth by means of a neutral protector

Automatic Voltage Regulators

What is an AVR?

The automatic voltage regulator (AVR) is a device designed to regulate voltage automatically. It takes the fluctuate voltage and changes them into a constant voltage. The fluctuation in the voltage mainly occurs due to the variation in load on the supply system. The variation in voltage damages the equipment of the power system. The variation in the voltage can be controlled by installing the voltage control equipment at several places likes near the transformers, generator, feeders, etc., The voltage regulator is provided in more than one point in the power system for controlling the voltage variations.

AVR - to take a fluctuating voltage level and turn it into a constant voltage level.

What is the function of an AVR?

The function of the Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) is to maintain constant voltage and power line conditioning to the equipment load under a wide variety of conditions, even when the utility input voltage, frequency or system load vary widely.

What is meant by voltage regulation?

The voltage regulation is the percentage of voltage difference between no load and full load voltages of a transformer with respect to its full load voltage. Explanation of Voltage Regulation of Transformer: Say an electrical power transformer is open circuited, means load is not connected with secondary terminals.

How does an AVR work?

An automatic voltage regulator (AVR) is an electronic device for automatically maintaining generator output terminal voltage at a set value under varying load and operating temperature. It controls output by sensing the voltage V-out at a power-generating coil and comparing it to a stable reference.

Why is voltage regulation necessary?

The voltage regulator is needed to keep voltages within the prescribed range that can be tolerated by the electrical equipment using that voltage.

Application for AVR?

It controls the voltage of the system and has the operation of the machine nearer to the steady state stability. It divides the reactive load between the alternators operating in parallel. The automatic voltage regulators reduce the overvoltage’s which occur because of the sudden loss of load on

the system. It increases the excitation of the system under fault conditions so that the maximum synchronising power

exists at the time of clearance of the fault.

The Clearline Electronic Voltage Stabilisers offer a cost-effective method of voltage regulation especially in areas where the electricity grid is not stable. The single-phase units are of plug and play type where the user simply connects the device in line with the equipment to be stabilised, while the larger units (>5kV) are hard wired into the electrical systems.

Risk Assessments

Lightning Risk assessment is a Study to measure the risk of a lightning strike and probability of damages. It assesses the lightening risks to the facility according to international standards (IEC 62305). A detailed risk assessment is essential for installing the necessary external and internal protection systems. The risk assessment process reduces the existing risk to a tolerable risk. The tolerable risk is defined when selecting the risks. These tolerable risks are specified in the standard. Risks to be Considered At the start of the risk analysis process, the focus is on the utilisation of the structure which allows us to calculate the risks which have to be considered for the object to be protected. There are four different categories which are distinguished in a risk analysis: Risk R1: Loss of human life Risk R2: Loss of service to the public Risk R3: Loss of cultural heritage Risk R4: Loss of economic value One or more risks can be relevant for the structure. The LPS designer decides which risks are to be considered. LPC designs an efficient state-of-the-art lightning protection concept based on this risk analysis
