23、ED MATERIAL NOT AUTHORIZED FOR FURTHER REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL INTRODUCTION 1 Scope 1.1 These requirements cover protectors for use on coaxial cable circuits to be used in accordance with the applicable requirements of the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70. 1.2 As cov

24、ered by these requirements, a coaxial cable circuit protector consists of single or multiple air gap arresters, gas tube arresters, or solid-state arresters, with or without fuses or other current-limiting devices. A circuit protector is intended to protect equipment, wiring, and personnel at the su

25、bscriber premises against the effects of excessive potentials and currents on the coaxial line caused by lightning, contacts with power conductors, power induction, or rises in ground potential. 1.3 This standard does not cover the following: a) Lightning protective devices for the protection of sec

26、ondary distribution wiring systems and equipment. b) Antenna discharge units for radio and television receiving appliances. c) Lightning conductor and air terminals for connection of lightning rods for building protection. d) Protectors for re alarm signaling circuits that are covered by the Standar

27、d for Protectors for Data Communications and Fire-Alarm Circuits, UL 497B. e) Equipment covered by the Standard for Secondary Protectors for Communications Circuits, UL 497A. f) Equipment covered by the Standard for Transient Voltage Surge Suppressors, UL 1449. g) Equipment covered by the Standard f

28、or Protectors for Paired-Conductor Communications Circuits, UL 497. 2 General 2.1 Components 2.1.1 Except as indicated in 2.1.2, a component of a product covered by this standard shall comply with the requirements for that component. 2.1.2 A component is not required to comply with a specic requirem

29、ent that: a) Involves a feature or characteristic not required in the application of the component in the product covered by this standard, or b) Is superseded by a requirement in this standard.

30、RIZED FOR FURTHER REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL 2.1.3 A component shall be used in accordance with its rating established for the intended conditions of use. 2.1.4 Specic components are incomplete in construction features or restricted in performance capabilities. Such comp

31、onents are intended for use only under limited conditions, such as certain temperatures not exceeding specied limits, and shall be used only under those specic conditions. 2.2 Units of measurement 2.2.1 Values stated without parentheses are the requirement. Values in parentheses are explanatory or a

32、pproximate information. 2.2.2 Unless otherwise indicated, all voltage and current values specied in this standard are root-mean-square (rms). 2.3 Undated references 2.3.1 Any undated reference to a code or standard appearing in the requirements of this standard shall be interpreted as referring to t

33、he latest edition of that code or standard. 3 Glossary 3.1 For the purpose of this standard the following denitions apply. 3.2 ARRESTER An overvoltage component or assembly of components which permit current to ow through it when a designed voltage limit is reached. The arrester may consist of a spa

34、rk gap, gas tube, solid-state component or the equivalent, coupled with other hardware which serves to support, position, and align the current-carrying components that make up the arrester. 3.3 CURRENT-LIMITING This condition is achieved when the abnormal high current condition is reduced to a maxi

35、mum current value equal to the normal operating current of the circuit. 3.4 CURRENT-LIMITING DEVICE This device reacts to an abnormal high current condition to prevent overheating of the normal current path and/or circuit in series with the current-limiting device. These devices may take the form of

36、 a thermo-resistance or thermo-mechanical device. 3.5 INDOOR USE (CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT) Installation of equipment in an area where the atmosphere is articially controlled. For the purpose of this standard, indoor ambient is limited to a temperature of 0 30C (32 86F). Limits for corrosion concentra

37、tions are dened in the test program. Rain does not occur. 3.6 MINIMUM CURRENT-LIMITING POINT The minimum abnormal current value which causes operation of the current-limiting device that reduces the current ow to a current-limited state. 3.7 NORMAL-USE POSITION (Position of Normal Use) A mounting or

38、 positioning of the product in an intended manner that is prescribed in the installation instructions of the manufacturer and conforms to the installation requirements of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70. 3.8 OUTDOOR USE (UNCONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT) An area subjected to the natural environme

39、ntal conditions which make-up the ambient and moisture extremes of this plant. For the purpose of consistency, the ambient and moisture extremes are dened in the various tests of this standard.

40、RIZED FOR FURTHER REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL 3.9 OUTSIDE PLANT (OSP) That part of the communications circuit extending from the subscriber premise protector to the main distribution frame of the public utility company providing the service. 3.10 PROTECTOR A device compri

41、sed of an overvoltage, overcurrent component, or both and is intended to prevent damage to a circuit or system when abnormally high voltage and/or current occur. 3.11 TRUE RMS Unit of electrical measurement by a meter capable of sampling, over time, the varying magnitude of a complex waveform to pro

42、duce a computed root-mean-square value equivalent to the same direct current value which produces the same heating effect. CONSTRUCTION 4 General 4.1 A coaxial cable circuit protector shall be constructed to withstand, without damage, its intended installation and use and shall comply with the appli

43、cable performance requirements specied in Sections 10 33. 4.2 A fuseless coaxial protector shall consist of an assembly comprising: a) An insulating base or grounded metallic base supporting an overvoltage arrester; b) Provision for connecting the center conductors of a coaxial cable circuit; and c)

44、 Provision for connecting at least one grounding conductor. An arrester shall be connected between the coaxial center conductor and ground. The connection or connections for the grounding conductor shall be conductively connected to a ground electrode or terminal. 4.3 A fused coaxial protector shall

45、 consist of an assembly comprising: a) An insulating base supporting an arrester; b) Provision for mounting a center conductor fuse; c) Provision for connecting the center conductors of a coaxial cable circuit; and d) Provision for connecting at least one grounding conductor. The fuse or current-lim

46、iting device shall be connected in series between each incoming center conductor of the outside plant (OSP) and the corresponding subscriber premises termination. The connection or connections for the grounding conductor or conductors shall be conductively connected to the ground electrodes or termi

47、nal of the coaxial protector. The overvoltage arrester shall be connected to the station termination end of the fuse or current-limiting device. A cover may be provided over the assembly.
