Safe Energy Control (9.30am – 11am)

The “class I and II operating duty tests” according
to IEC/EN 61643-11, chapter 8.3.4.3 is an essential test for the qualification  of  surge  protective  devices  (SPDs)  connected  to low-voltage power systems (LVPS).
In this seminar, the test facility center for such tests will be discussed, followed by the development of a new Safe Energy Control (SEC) class I/type 1 lightning current arrester based on triggered, encapsulated and line-follow current free spark-gap technology. Fundamental technical  aspect, like how line-follow current impact the power distribution and also the advantages of this powerful class I/type 1 SPD technology will be presented and discussed in detail.
