Minimum protection
Maximum protection
Life protection
Life expectancy
2
Noise can be brought about by the differences in ground potentials throughout an electrical system.
True
False
3
Lower let-through voltage offers lesser surge protection for downstream loads.
True
False
4
When exposed to IEEE-defined test waveforms and UL 1449 2nd edition test results, the SAD and MOV devices have the same Suppression Voltage ratings.
True
False
5
Sags can affect operating coils of motor starters, which are designed to drop off-line at less than ________ voltage.
100%
90%
85%
75%
6
Swells are often caused when there is a sudden load decrease.
True
False
7
Transients and surges are different kinds of disturbances.
True
False
8
The design goal of a surge protection device is to divert as much of a transient power disturbance away from the load as possible.
True
False
9
The integrated design of SPDs has solved many problems associated with the standalone approach providing improved suppression performance.
True
False
10
Lower impedance translates directly into higher let-through voltage.
True
False
11
In an industrial application, the first stage of protection is provided at the service entrance, with an SPD integrated into the switchboard or main panelboard.
True
False
12
A surge is a single, non-repeating voltage distortion of less than 0.5 cycles in duration.
True
False
13
With proper implementation of surge protection devices and shielding equipment, the vast majority of lightning losses are preventable.
True
False
14
In AC power applications, over 99% of SPDs incorporate SAD technology because of the high-energy capability and reliable performance as a clamping device.
True
False
15
________ is usually accomplished by attaching a conductor to a metal electrode (rod), which is then buried in the ground.
Grounding
Neutralizing
Energizing
Noise Suppression
16
Selenium cells are metallic rectifiers (diodes) with a maximum reverse voltage of only 25 VDC; so that many cells are required for higher voltages.
True
False
17
The ANSI 62.41 standard classifies feeders and short branch circuits as:
Category A
Category B
Category C
18
The ANSI 62.41 standard classifies outside and service entrance circuits as:
Category A
Category B
Category C
19
Let-through voltage is the amount of voltage that is not suppressed by the SPD and passes through to the load.
True
False
20
When selenium cells are used in parallel with MOVs, there is a large advantage gained in performance, cost or application flexibility.
True
False
