(Max Continuous Operating Voltage): The highest voltage the SPD can handle without activating. Upcap U sub p
The story highlights the real-world application of the standard series (specifically IEC 61643-11 for low-voltage power systems).
Elias scrolled through the PDF on his screen. "The IEC 61643 standard changed the game. It defines how we test these devices. It forces manufacturers to prove that their gear can handle an impulse current of 10/350 microseconds—that’s the波形 (waveform) of a direct lightning strike. It tells us exactly how to coordinate a Type 1 device at the main panel and a Type 2 device at the sub-panel."
Indirect lightning and utility switching transients. Test: 8/20 µs current pulse. Class III (Type 3)
