overvoltage protection
CITEL’s only business is protecting networks and equipment from tran-
sient overvoltages, in particular those induced by lightning. For this, CITEL
manufactures two complementary basic products:
- Gas discharge tubes (or GDTs) are the basic passive components
used to protect telephone exchanges and equipment from voltage surges;
they are generally installed on telephone networks by telecommunications
operators.
- Surge Protection Devices (or SPDs) are units combining several

protection components. They may be used by the installer or by the end
customer. They are designed to be incorporated in an installation to pro-
tect all electric, electronic, and data-processing equipment from transient
overvoltages.
Transient overvoltages
The users of electronic equipment and telephone and data-process-
ing systems must face the problem of keeping this equipment in op-
eration in spite of the transient overvoltages induced by lightning.
There are several reasons:
Integration of electronic components makes the equipment more vulnerable.

Interruptions of service are unacceptable.
Data transmission networks cover large areas and are exposed
to more disturbances.
The origin of overvoltages

Transient overvoltages have four main causes :
Lightning
Industrial and switching surges
Electrostatic discharges (ESD)
Nuclear electromagnetic pulses (NEMP)
The overvoltages of different origins differ in amplitude, energy, waveform,

and recurrence rate.
Lightning and industrial overvoltages have been with us for a long time, but
ESD and NEMP disturbances are much more specific and arise from recent
technological developments (massive use of semiconductors for the former,
thermonuclear weapons for the latter).
Lightning
Lightning, investigated since Benjamin Franklin’s first research in 1749, has
paradoxically become a growing threat to our highly electronic society.
Lightning formation
A lightning flash is generated between two zones of opposite charge, typically
between two storm clouds or between one cloud and the ground.
The flash may travel several miles, advancing toward the ground in succes-
sive leaps: the leader creates a highly ionized channel. When it reaches the
ground, the real flash or return stroke takes place.
A current in the tens of thousands of Amperes will then travel from ground to
cloud or vice versa via the ionized channel.
Direct effects
At the moment of discharge there is an impulse current flow that ranges from
1,000 to 200,000 Amperes peak, with a rise time of about few microseconds.
This direct effect is a small factor in damage to electric and electronic systems,
because it is highly localized.
The best protection is still the classic lightning rod or Lightning Protection Sys-
tem (LPS), designed to capture the discharge current and conduct it to a par-
ticular point.
NEMP phenomena
Indirect effects (Nuclear ElectroMagnetic Pulses)
There are three types of indirect electrical effects : A high-altitude nuclear explosion, above the atmosphere, creates an intense

Impulse current - Iimp

The impulse current (Iimp), used in Class I test applicable to Type 1 SPDs,
is the maximum impulse 10/350 μs current a surge protector can withstand
without destruction. This test simulates the effect, on AC power surge pro-
tectors, of a direct lightning strike on an installation.
Open circuit voltage - Uoc

This parameter is used only for Class III test, applicable to Type 3 SPD and
consists of the injection of a combination wave (1.2/50 μs in open circuit
- 8/20 μs in short circuit).
Protection level - Up
This is the maximum voltage on the surge protector output when sub-
jected to an impulse current equivalent to its nominal discharge current
(In). Therefore this parameter characterizes the performance of the SPD
in limiting the transient overvoltage across its terminal in order to protect
the equipment.

Coordination of Surge Protector

In order to provide maximum protection efficiency, it is necessary to create
a «coordination» diagram: that means installation of a «primary» SPD at
the network entrance and a «secondary» close to sensitive equipment.
Efficient SPD coordination is performed by including, between primary and
secondary SPDs :
- a minimum length of wire (> 10 m).
or
- coordination inductors (DSH range: see below). A13
Futher information is available in installation instruction sheet.
Example of coordination on 3-Phase network.

Associated fuses
To comply with standards and safety, the AC surge protectors must be pro-
tected against a possible end of life in short-circuit : the user must install
on each SPD branch, a protection against short circuit current (fuses or
breaker).
The rating of this fuse is given by the SPD manufacturer in the product
datasheet and installation instructions. The choice of this rating depends
of 2 criteria:
- Withstand of the short-circuit current test in the IEC 61643-1
A14 Fuses on each
standard : the fuse must cut safely the short-circuit current before
an harsh destruction of the SPD. branch, rating and
- Withstand of the discharge currents (In or Imax) : the fuse must type in the SPD instal-
be able to conduct the discharge current of the SPD without blow- lation instructions.
ing.
CITEL has selected some fuses and DIN rail holders to fit with his SPD
range. The fuses are equipped with failure indicators to check easily their
opening and the holders can be supplied with or without contact for re-
mote signal of fuse status.

Installation
Theses surge protectors are used as secondary surge protection, in asso-
ciation with a primary surge protection (e.g. DS series) installed in the main
electrical switch board. The Parasurge protectors are designed to operate
in coordination with the primary surge protectors.
They are tested following Class II or Class III Test of the IEC 61643-1
standards.
These units are installed close by the sensitive equipment, providing a
greater efficiency.
AC power Surge Protectors
The Combined Surge Protectors

Terminals connected to several networks, as communication terminals con-
nected to telecom line and AC power network, are especially sensitive to
surge voltages : during a lightning event, surge voltages will occur, in com-
mon mode, on AC network and telecom network. But transient voltages
will appear also between these networks themselves : this phenomena will
create disturbances or destructions in the telecom equipment connected to
these networks.

The gas discharge tube may be regarded as a sort of very fast switch DC sparkover voltage

occurs, from open-circuit to quasi-short circuit (arc voltage about 20V). It is the voltage at which breakdown will occur between the electrodes
There are accordingly four operating domains in the behavior of a gas when a slowly increasing voltage (dV/dt = 100 V/s) is applied to the
discharge tube: component; it depends on the electrode spacing, the pressure, and the
properties of the gas mixture and of the emissive substance.

glow voltage across the terminals will be in the 80-100V range;

Discharge current The CITEL line

This depends on the properties of the gas, the volume, and the material
and treatment of the electrodes. It is the major characteristic of the GDT CITEL proposes a full line of gas discharge tubes to meet most configura-
and the one that distinguishes it from other protection devices (Varistor, tion needs and specifications found on the market :
Zener diode, etc.): 5 to 20kA with an 8/20µs impulse for the standard
components. This is the value the device can withstand repeatedly (say for 2- and 3-electrode gas discharge tubes

Sparkover voltage in the presence of a steep rise front (dV/dt = 1kV/µs): Installation on support, on printed circuit, or surface-mounted devices.
the impulse sparkover voltage increases with increasing dV/dt.
Insulation resistance and capacitance

These characteristics make the gas discharge tube practically «invisible»
in a line in a steady-state context: insulation resistance very high (>10
Gohm), capacitance very low (<1 pF).
3-electrode configuration
Protecting a two-wire line (for example a telephone pair) with two 2-elec-
trode gas discharge tubes (connected between the wires and ground) may
cause the following problem:
The line is subjected to an overvoltage in common mode; because of the
dispersion of the sparkover voltages (± 20%), one of the gas discharge
tubes sparks over a very short time before the other (a few microseconds);
the wire that has sparked over is therefore grounded (neglecting the arc
voltages), turning the common-mode overvoltage into a differential-mode
overvoltage, very dangerous for the terminal equipment. This risk disap-
pears when the second gas discharge tube arcs over (a few microseconds
later).
3-electrode geometry eliminates this drawback: the sparkover of one pole
causes a «general» breakdown of the device almost instantaneously (a few
nanoseconds) because there is only one gas-filled enclosure.
End of life
Gas discharge tubes are designed to withstand several impulses without E3
destruction or loss of the initial characteristics (typical impulse tests: 10
times 5 kA impulses of each polarity).
On the other hand, a sustained strong current (e.g. 10 A rms for 15 sec-
onds, simulating the fall of a AC power line onto a telecommunication line)
will put the device out of service definitively.
If a fail-safe end of life is desired (i.e. a short-circuit that will report the fault
to the user when the line fault is detected), gas discharge tubes with the
fail-safe feature (external short-circuit) should be chosen.
Standards
CITEL gas discharge tubes comply with the specifications of main telecom
operators (France Telecom, British Telecom, etc.) and with the ITU-T K12
international recommendation.

Electrical diagram
The VP is a surge protector designed to protect AC or DC power

lines against lightning transient voltages.
It is mounted on outdoor carrier poles to protect overhead lines as
AC lines or DC traction lines, and it is connected between one wire t°
and earth.
The internal electrical diagram is based on high energy varistor
V
(MOV). To take care of permanent overvoltage or component age-
ing, the surge protector device (SPD) is equipped with a thermal
disconnector mechanism: in case of overheating, the protective
component disconnects itself from the line and the bottom part of
the unit is ejected, indicating at distance the failure and the need V : High energy varistor
of maintenance. t° : Thermal disconnector
VP surge protectors are available in various operating voltages.

When a large or exposed metallic element is not connected, for
operating reasons, to the earthing system, it is better, in order to 195
avoid destructive flashovers, to connect between the element and

the grounded structure (or lightning conductor) a spark gap, which
allows a punctual and a brief connection to earth during the light-
ning strike.
In stand-by situation, the spark gap insulates the element from the Electrical diagram
earth. During the lightning strike, the spark gap fires to create equi-
potentiality and to avoid destructive flashovers.
