IEEE C62.45-2002
Scope
ForewordThis recommended practice is the result of ten years of use as a guide@ and it incorporates only minor additions or updates of the original 1987 document@ which was revised in 1992. These earlier versions were published independently@ and not concurrently with their intended companion@ IEEE Std C62.41-1991@ with the result that a ??catch-up?? situation was created as each document was separately updated.With the approval of the Surge-Protective Devices Committee@ the companion IEEE Std C62.41-1991 was split into two separate documents@ IEEE Std C62.41.1-2002 and IEEE Std C62.41.2-2002. Together with the present recommended practice@ the two IEEE Std C62.41.1-2002 and IEEE Std C62.41.2-2002 present a ??Trilogy?? concerning the occurrence@ characterization@ and testing of surges in low-voltage ac power circuits@ to be published concurrently and thus avoid the previous ambiguities of the catch-up updates.ScopeThe scope of this recommended practice is the performance of surge testing on electrical and electronic equipment connected to low-voltage ac power circuits@ specifically using the recommended test waveforms defined in IEEE Std C62.41.2?-2002.1 Nevertheless@ these recommendations are applicable to any surge testing@ regardless of the specific surges that may be applied.
