Scope

This standard applies to surge-protective devices (SPDs) intended to be installed on the load side of the service equipment connected to 50 Hz or 60 Hz alternating current (ac) power circuits rated at 1000 V (root mean squared [rms]) or less. Performance characteristics and standard methods for testing and rating are established for these devices@ which may be composed of any combination of components. The tests in this standard are aimed at providing comparisons among the variety of surge-protective devices available. Purpose The purpose of this standard is to provide users@ independent laboratories@ and manufacturers with test methods and test specifications applicable to low-voltage surge-protective devices used on the load side of the service equipment@ intended for limiting transient overvoltages that can appear on ac power circuits of 1000 V (rms) or less.
