DESCRIPTION
The 587B Series of 240 Volt AC Surge Suppressors is designed for use by the OEM,
equipment installer and or maintenance contractor. These modules employ a three
stage technology proven to be the most cost effective and reliable method in protect-
ing sensitive electronic equipment from over voltage transients.
This series is designed to protect AC powered equipment from the 6,000 volt peak
open circuit voltage and 3,000 Amp short circuit current as defined in ANSI/IEEE
C62.41, Category C1.
The 587B Series offers a high degree of protection against 240 VAC EMI line noise. It
is ideal for protecting 800 Volt components because the solid state TVS technology
assures that the line-to-neutral voltage will not exceed 800 Volts. While the modules
are designed for transient voltage protection, the advanced circuitry will also attenuate
the amplitude and slow the rate of rise of high frequency noise acting as an EMI filter.
The 587B Series includes differential mode protection, which is effective in reducing
interference from line to equipment and are effective in reducing equipment gener-
ated noise to meet FCC, VDE and CSA interference requirements.

Figures 1 and 2 are photographs of digitized waveforms
showing the typical clamping action of a 16 ampere module.
A 12 Ohm resistor is used to represent a 10 Amp equipment
load. The load is then subjected to the ANSI/IEEE C62.41
Category CI test conditions (6,000V/3,000A). These photo-
graphs contrast the effect on equipment with and without the
protector.
