IEEE C62.39-2012 pdf free.IEEE Standard for Test Methods and Preferred Values for Self-Restoring Current-Limiter Components Used in Telecommunication Surge Protection.
IEEE C62.39 sets terms, test methods, test circuits, measurement procedures and preferred result values for series connected, self-restoring current-limiter components used in low-voltage telecommunication circuit surge protection. It is only applicable for components in telecommunications circuits with sinusoidal ringing voltages up to 150 V rms at 15 Hz to 70Hz and dc powering voltages up to 400 V. The self- restoring current limiters covered by this standard have the following properties:
— Excessive current causes a transition from a low-resistance state to a high-resistance state
— Reverts to a low-resistance state when the excessive current ends
— Directly operated by the current flow through the component Solid-state (no moving parts)
— Withstands specified levels of impulse
— Withstands specified ac voltage levels when in the high-resistance state
Examples of this type of current-limiter technology are positive temperature coefficient (PTC) step- function thennistors of ceramic or polymeric material and silicon semiconductor based electronic circuits.
This standard does not cover self-restoring current-limiter components used in other applications, such as heaters, inrush-current limiters, or sensing devices. (‘ui-rent intemipting type components, which reduce the current to zero by a mechanical circuit break. are not covered by this standard. In this standard, a IL’iecomrnunwahons cirruii is a Circuit that uses metallic conductors to handle the remote transmission of intlnnaiion. such as data, communications, and signalling.
1.2 Purpose
The test criteria and terms of this standard provide a means of component comparison and a common engineering language for users and manufacturers of self-restoring current-limiter components intended for use in low-voltage telecommunication circuit surge protection. The test and measurement of low-voltage telecommunication (data, communications, and signalling) surge protectors is given in IEEE Sid c’62.36TM LB6].’ This standard provides the corresponding component tests for the surge protector non-surge and active tests.
