This paper reports a Surge Protective Device (SPD) that is used to protect an automatic metering interface (AMI) power supplies of communication equipment on a low-voltage distribution system from a lightning current. The surge protective device (SPD) can be classified as one-port SPDs and two-port SPDs with decoupling elements depending on the connection type. The protection of internal systems against the lightning current may require a systematic approach consisting of coordinated SPDs. To deal with this, the definition of a lightning protection zone (LPZ) was studied and interpreted through a theoretical review. Because the lightning current resulting from a lightning surge is considerably high, there is limited protection from one SPD; therefore, coordinated cascaded MOV-based SPDs are installed to solve this problem. Regarding the power grid mentioned in this paper, a class II SPD for the low-voltage distribution system installed on the border of LPZ1 and LPZ2, which establish a protection coordination with the Arrester (LA, SA) that corresponds to the LPZO installed on the MOF stage connected to one system were designed to protect various communication (control) equipment, including the automatic meter reading system inside the branch-type electric supply panel of a building, not the incoming side of one system. In addition, performance-related tests were done by a comparison with the existing method through testing, and the optimal design was achieved for the 1-port SPD that uses a series connection and can bleed load current without any decoupling element.

The purpose of this study is to propose a useful method of solving the problem of thermal stability in surge protection devices (SPDs). First of all, the existence of the problem in the developed SPDs was confirmed by experiment. After analyzing the problem, a useful method of solving it is proposed and implemented. An experiment is performed to verify the performance of the implemented device. The results of this study are as follows; it is revealed that the problem of the thermal stability results from the varistor, one of the components in the SPD. A varistor with a built-in thermal fuse is applied to the SPD for the purpose of solving the problem. The experimental results confirmed that the thermal stability was improved by replacing the varistor. As a result of this study, the reliability of radar control units is enhanced and the probability of malfunction is reduced.

This paper describes the surge protective device combined with varistor and LC low pass filter on AC power circuits. Up to now varistors alone have been used as a surge protective device on AC power circuits, but it gives negative effects on the equipments to be protected due to the steep rise and high remnant voltage. Therefore in this work, for the purpose of improving the cutoff performance of surge protective device on AC power circuits, the hybrid-type surge protective device with varistor and LC filter was designed and prepared. And the experiments for operational characteristics and clamping performance of the surge protective device were carried out with an 1.2/50[$\mu$s] impulse generator. As a result, the proposed surge protective device with the combination of varistors and LC filter can limit the surge voltage to lower value and reduce the value of dV /dt to very small values. Also the attenuation of high-frequency voltages across the output port is effectively provided by LC filter. Therefore this result may be all the more helpful avoiding both damage and upset of electronic systems.

In this paper, in order to prevent impulse surge PoE(Power Over Ethernet) communications error caused by natural phenomenon in industrial sites, countermeasure design of impulse surge of PoE communications equipment is suggested by designing dual impulse surge protection circuit. In order to analyze characteristic of impulse surge noise signal, surge generating device which meet international standard IEC 61000-4-5 is invented. And this device shows that surge signal is weakened by designing dual PoE power supply protection circuit by connecting surge generating device to the PoE data transfer line.

The AC power lines and signal lines of info-communication networks are muted on overhead poles and are exposed to lightning strikes. Due to the potential difference between groundings of the AC power lines and telecommunication lines, the electronic equipments connected to the telecommunication lines can easily be damaged by lightning surges. In this work, in order to develop the reliable ways to protect information and communication facilities from lightning surges, the reliability and performance of surge protective devices were experimentally investigated in actual-sized test circuit. The operation behaviors of surge protective devices against lightning surges from the AC power lines and telecommunication lines and the coordination effects of SPD installation method were evaluated. As a consequence, it was confirmed that the bypass arrester and common grounding system is very effective.

In this paper we study the performance test items and improvement plans of surge protective devices for low-voltage power circuits used in railway system. Above of all, the sources of electromagnetic interference in railway system are researched. And then we compared domestic railway standard with IEC and IEEE standards far the test items and methodologies of surge protective devices. Through the investigations, we found that the domestic standard is behind in the number of test items and methods on surge protective devices. As the countermeasures, we suggest removing component tests of surge protective devices, separating standards for power and signal standards, and using international surge waveform. In applying to domestic railway surge protective devices, surge limiting voltage measuring and surge endurance tests by international standard methods are good result.
