VPU Lightning and Surge Protection Australia & New Zealand Core Assortment Catalogue 2013 For 230/400 V Installations www.weidmuller.com.au International Standards Dear Customer, What‘s new in IEC/EN 61643-11:2012? You will find references in this catalogue that may differ between Imax and the part description. Weidmuller in producing a product suitable for use around the world specify ratings under the IEC scheme IEC/EN61643-11 which utilise a 10/350µs waveform for Type I products and specify the “Iimp” value suitable for point of entry to a building and 8/20µs thereafter within that building (Type II and III). In Australia under AS/NZS1768:2007 the classification for Category C3 to A uses 8/20µs waveform for all surge parameters and reference to Imax. We have taken great care in referencing the Imax value on all Type I products to ensure our customers purchase a product meeting their exact requirement. The Imax value is listed on product front face and all datasheets and is independently certified by an external testing organisation CTI in Vienna. One other note is that the protection level Up is derived from the Iimp which ensures that our product has been tested to the maximum impulse rating it is labelled for so you can be sure it will withstand whatever nature can throw at it! The latest version of IEC/EN 61643-11:2012 specifies, among other things, a new test procedure which takes into account, the failure behaviour of protective equipment in the event of an overload, or when the service life has expired. From now on, in what is known as a failure mode simulation, the correct varistors are now used as test specimens, instead of the previously required copper blocks. The Type I operating duty test is conducted with a higher current than that specified in the previous standard. IT networks are also included for the first time in the new standard.

For more information, please see page 8. 7 General installation advice General installation advice Many details have to be taken into account during the installation of surge protection and the electrical system in order to achieve optimum protection. Arrangement and subdivision of electrical panel Steel cabinets possess good magnetic shielding properties. The following points should be taken into consideration during the installation: •Avoid unnecessarily long lines (particularly lines with a high volume of data traffic). •Route sensitive signalling lines separately from lines with a high interference potential. •Route shielded lines directly to the equipment and connect the shielding there (do not connect via additional terminal in switching cabinet). •Classify equipment in groups with different sensitivities and place these together. Place of installation The surge protection devices should be mounted where the lines and cables enter the cabinet. This is the lowest mounting rail directly above the cable entries. This prevents interference being coupled within the cabinet; interference is discharged right at the entry to the cabinet. When using shielded lines, these can be connected at this point by using Weidmüller clamp straps. Earthing of products and connected products All surge protection devices have an earth-connection terminal point. The earthing wire for the associated equipotential bonding rail must be connected to this point. The earthing wire should have as large a cross-section as possible and also be as short as possible. Every centimetre of extra cable length increases the residual voltage of the surge protection device (1 metre / 39 inch of cable = 1 kV voltage drop). In addition to the earthing terminal, the surge protection products for measurement control systems also offer the option of earthing via a DIN rail contact on a TS 35. In order to achieve the best earth contact, the rail should be mounted to an earthed metal back wall. In order to obtain a lower protection level, the earthing terminal on the surge protection products (for measurement and control systems) should be connected to the equipotential bonding every 60 cm / 24 inch. According to standards, the PE connection and the SPD spur shall be straight as possible to the lightning protection equipotential bonding. It is possible to make the path as short as possible by using a so-called V-connection or by connecting to the accompanying PE. Cable lengths a SPD Routing the lines Signalling lines should be laid within the system/cabinet over the shortest route to the surge protection and then continue to the connected equipment. Protected and u nprotected lines should be routed separately. The earth line should be regarded as an unprotected line. Metal partitions can be used along cable routes or in cable ducts to achieve this separation. If signalling lines are laid parallel to power lines, a clearance of min. 500 mm must be maintained. The best shielding offers metallic cable conduits along with a metal cover. 8 b a + b = 1m =1kV excess Fig 4 F1 b ≤ 0.5 m / 20 inch SPD b V wiring possible if F1 less than 125A Fig 5 WAUS VPU Lightning and Surge Protection Australia & New Zealand Core Assortment Catalogue 2013 General installation advice Fuse protection The need of a backup fuse The fusing and installation for the VPU series on the power supply side must be installed in accordance with AS/NZS 3000 wiring rules (cross section, quantity, type of conductor and the type of installation). Installation information is also documented in the package insert and on the products for the corresponding VPU modules. In the event of overloads caused by partial lightning currents or transformer short circuits, the lightning arrester and surge arrester (SPD) must be protected by a back-up fuse specified by the manufacturer. If F1 (as noted in Figure 7 or preceding main fuse) is greater than the value specified by the SPD manufacturer, use the ratio 1:1.6, as the maximum nominal value that should be installed for the SPD. Depending on the installation of the connecting cables, F1 can be increased during the lifespan of the facility. If a circuit breaker or a main circuit breaker is used instead of the safety fuse required in the installation instructions, then the triggering characteristics must be followed. •• F2 is necessary. •• Separate F2 from F1 by a ratio of 1:1.6 •• F2 only makes sense if size suits current capacity •• Maximum fuse is listed for each product •• For 100kA models with 125A main fuse alternative is “V” wiring (Figure 5) Surge Protection Device Fig 7 Impulse resistance of NH Fuses It is important to understand that the question is not how small the SPD fusing should be; rather the maximum backup fuse that should be used to enable the capacity to carry the full lightning current. Full SPD protection is only available when the installation fulfils the design characteristics. Please see table below for surge handling of NH fuses.

RCD VPU Fig 8 9 VPU | VPU series surge protection devices for Category C3, C2 and C1 for power networks VPU series surge protection devices for Category C3 to A for power networks The highest level of surge protection presently available With the accompanying increase in specification limits, the introduction of IEC/EN 61643-11 in 2012 emphasises the high degree of significance attached to all-round reliable surge protection. Our answer to these new requirements is the new VPU lightning and surge protection series. The highly advanced product series already fulfils upcoming international standards and AS/NZS 1768:2007 and AS/NZS 5033:2012 and thus offers your facilities the greatest degree of protection. However, you will not just be protecting your plant, but also your planning processes. Conformity with standards for at least 7 years means that you can minimize your planning iteration steps and the redesigns associated with these. Many intelligent product features help installers during installation and maintenance or engineers during the servicing of the lightning and surge protection system. Equipped in this way, the VPU Series provides a long-lasting, safe and forward-looking lightning and surge protection solution for your plant. See for yourself. Flexible positioning in the control cabinet Cabling to/from the surge protector should be kept as short as possible to reduce increased let through voltage. The VPU series can be rated to suit wiring requirements. 180° 10 Best overview The large, centred status window provides highly visible information on the status of the protective function.

For cable lengths of more than 10 m between the PV generator and the inverter, protection is needed at both ends. This means that both the generators and the inverter are protected. External lightning protection installed External lightning protection not installed And the separation distances are observedn (Type II) (Type II) VPU II 3/R 1.000 V DC PV Failure to comply with the separation distance S If the separation distance S according to EN 62305 is not observed (S < min), then partial lightning currents need to be taken into account. A shielded generator main line with sufficient cross-sectional area (min. 16 mm²) should be used. The adjacent picture shows an implementation that reaches LPZ 1. Here the surge protection from the Class II arrester can be installed in line with the existing standards (product selection, see above). Another alternative is type I lightning and surge protection, especially for plants where the separation distance cannot be observed, e.g. installation on tin roofs.

This allows you to avoid expensive damages or the potential for complete power failure in your photovoltaic facility. For buildings with or without lighting protection systems – we have the right product for every application! We can deliver the modules as you require – fully customised and pre-wired into housings. Deploying surge protection devices (SPDs) in photovoltaic systems Photovoltaic energy is a vital component of the overall energy production from renewable energy sources. There are a number of special characteristics that need to be considered when deploying surge protection devices (SPDs) in photovoltaic systems. Photovoltaic systems have a DC voltage source, with specific characteristics. The system concept must therefore take these specific characteristics into consideration and co-ordinate the use of SPDs accordingly. For instance SPD specifications for PV systems must be designed both for a maximum no-load voltage of the solar generator (VOC STC = voltage of the unloaded circuit under standard test conditions) as well as with regard to ensuring maximum system availability and safety. External lightning protection Owing to their large surface area and generally exposed installation location, photovoltaic systems are particularly risk from atmospheric discharges – such as lightning. At this point there is a need to differentiate between the effects of direct lightning strikes and so-called indirect (inductive and capacitive) strikes. On the one hand the necessity for lightning protection depends on the normative specifications of the relevant standards and on the one hand, the necessity for lightning protection spends on the normative specifications of the relevant standards. On the other hand, it depends on the application itself, in other words, depending on if it is a building or a field installation. With building installations a difference is drawn between the installation of a PV generator on the roof of a public building – with an existing lightning protection system – and the installation on the roof of a barn – without a lightning protection system. Field installations also offer large potential targets due to their large area module arrays; in this case, an external lightning protection solution is recommended for this type of system to prevent direct lighting strikes. Normative references can be found in IEC 62305-3 (VDE 0185-305-3), Supplement 2 (interpretation according to lightning protection level or risk level LPL III) [2] AC DC and Supplement 5 (lightning and surge protection for PV power systems) and in the VdS Directive 2010 [3], (if PV systems > 10 kW, then lightning protection is required). In addition, surge protection measures are required. For instance, preference should be afforded to separate airtermination systems to protect the PV generator. However, if it is not possible to avoid a direct connection to the PV generator, in other words the safety separation distance cannot be maintained, then the effects of partial lightning currents must be taken into consideration. Fundamentally, shielded cables should be used for the main lines of generators to keep induced overvoltages as low as possible. In addition, if the cross-section is sufficient (min. 16 mm² Cu) the cable shielding can be utilised to conduct partial lightning currents. The same applies to the utilisation of closed metal housings. Earthing must be connected at both ends of cables and metal housings. That ensures that the main lines of the generator fall under LPZ1 (Lightning Protection Zone); that means that a SPD type 2 suffices. Otherwise, an SPD type 1 would be required. Utilisation and correct specification of surge protection devices In general, it is possible to consider the deployment and specification of SPDs in low voltage systems on the AC side as standard procedure; however, the deployment and the correct design specification for PV DC generators still remains a challenge. The reason is firstly a solar generator has its own special characteristics and, secondly, SPDs are deployed in the DC circuit. Conventional SPDs are typically developed for alternating voltage and not direct voltage systems. Relevant product standards [4] have covered these applications for years, and these can fundamentally also be applied to DC voltage applications. However, whereas previously relatively low PV system voltages were realised, today these are already achieving approx. 1000 V DC in the unloaded PV circuit. The task is to master system voltages of that order with suitable surge protection devices. The positions at which it is technically appropriate and practical to position SPDs in a PV system depends primarily on the type of system, the system concept and the physical surface area. Figures 2 and 3 illustrate the principle differences: Firstly, a building with external lightning protection and a PV system mounted on the roof (building installation); secondly, an expansive solar energy system (field installation), also fitted with an external lightning protection system. In the first instance – because of the shorter cable lengths – protection is merely implemented at the DC input of the inverter; in the second case SPDs are installed in the terminal box of the 27 Photovoltaic application example Superior surge protection from Weidmüller AC DC solar generator (to protect the solar modules) as well as at the DC input of the inverter (to protect the inverter). SPDs should be installed close to the PV generator as well as close to the inverter as soon as the length of cable required between the PV generator and the inverter extends beyond 10 meters (Figure 2). The standard solution to protect the AC side, meaning the inverter output and network supply, must then be achieved by using type 2 SPDs installed at the inverter output and – in the case of a building installation with external lightning protection at the mains feed-in point – equipped with an SPD type 1 surge arrester. Special characteristics on the DC solar generator side Until now, protection concepts on the DC side always used SPDs for normal AC mains voltages, whereby L+ and Lrespectively were wired to earth for protection. This meant that the SPDs were rated for at least 50 percent of the maximum solar generator no-load voltage. However, after a number of years, insulation faults can occur in the PV generator. As a consequence of this fault in the PV system, the full PV generator voltage is then applied to the non-faulty pole in the SPD, and results in an overload event. If the load on SPDs based on metal-oxide varistors from a continuous voltage is too high, this can potentially result in their destruction or trigger the disconnecting device. In particular, in PV systems with high system voltages, it is not possible to completely exclude the possibility of a fire developing due to a switching arc that is not extinguished, when the disconnection device is triggered. Overload protection elements (fuses) used upstream are not a solution to this probability, as the short-circuit current of the PV generator is only slightly higher than that of the rated current. Today, PV systems with system voltages of approx. 1000 V DC are increasingly being installed to keep power losses as low as possible. Figure 1: Schematic diagram from standard IEC 60364-7-712 Figure 2: Building installation with external lightning protection system, in compliance with air termination distances To ensure that SPDs can master such high system voltages the star connection consisting of three varistors has proven reliable and has become established as a quasi-standard (Figure 4). If an insulation fault occurs two varistors in the series still remain, which effectively prevents the SPD from being overloaded. Figure 3: Field installation with external lightning protection system 28 WAUS VPU Lightning and Surge Protection Australia & New Zealand Core Assortment Catalogue 2013 Photovoltaic application example AC DC Superior surge protection from Weidmüller To summarise: protective circuitry with absolutely zero leakage current is in place and an accidental activation of the disconnecting mechanism is prevented. In the scenario described above, the spread of fire is also effectively prevented. And at the same time, any influence from an insulation monitoring device is also avoided. So if an insulation malfunction occurs, there are always two varistors still available in the series. In this way, the requirement that earth faults must always be prevented, is met. Weidmüller‘s SPD type 2 arrester VPU II 3 1,000 V DC to UCPV mode +/–, –/PE, +/PE = 1,000 V DC provides a well tested, practical solution and has been tested for compliance with all current standards (UTE C 61-740-51 and prEN 50539-11) (Figure 4). In this way, we offer the highest degree of safety available for use in DC circuits.

If an external lightning protection solution is fitted, the PV generator should preferably be integrated into this system as an isolated arrester device system. IEC 62305-3 specifies that the air termination distance must be maintained. If it cannot be maintained then the effects of partial lightning currents must be taken into consideration. On this point the standard for protection against lightning IEC 62305-3 Supplement 2 states in Section 17.3: ‘to reduce induced overvoltages shielded cables should be used for the main lines of the generator’. If the crosssection is sufficient (min. 16 mm² Cu) the cable shielding can also be used to conduct partial lightning currents. Supplement (Figure 5) - Protection against lightning for photovoltaic systems – issued by the ABB (Committee for Lightning Protection and Lightning Research of the (German) Association for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) states that the main lines for the generators should be shielded. This means that lightning current arresters (SPD type 1) are not required, although surge voltage arresters (SPD type 2) are necessary on both sides. As Figure 5 illustrates, a shielded main generator line offers a practical solution and achieves LPZ 1 status in the process. In this manner, SPD type 2 surge arresters are deployed in compliance with standards specifications. Figure 5: Building installation with external lightning protection, not in compliance with air termination distances 29 Photovoltaic application example Superior surge protection from Weidmüller Modular use of our surge protection components If a lightning protection system is already present on the building, this must be at the highest point of the entire system. All modules and cables of the photovoltaic installation must be installed below the air terminations. Separation distances of at least 0.5 m to 1 m must be maintained (depending on risk analysis from IEC 62305-2). The external Type I lightning protection (AC side) also requires the installation of a Type I lightning arrester in the electrical supply of the building. If no lightning protection system is present, then Type II arresters (AC side) are sufficient for use.
