有些ESE避雷針廠商宣稱他們的避雷針可以耐雷擊電流200kA,但卻不敢明確寫出電流波型,就像是跑步跑了100圈,卻不敢說出1圈距離多遠。
ONAY OLP 214避雷針依照法國標準NF C
17-102:2011通過125kA(10/350μs)三次耐電流測試。該標準要求測試的參數如下:
Ipeak
(kA 10/350μs)
|
Q (A.s)
|
W/R (kJ/Ω)
|
|
法國標準NF C17-102:2011要求
|
100±10%
|
50±20%
|
2500±35%
|
OLP 214測試
|
125±10%
|
62.5±20%
|
3750±35%
|
備註:法國標準要求測試三次
|
由上表可知,NF C 17-102:2011不但要求峰值電流(Ipeak),同時還要求Q和W/R,藉此避免廠商投機使用較小波型來魚目混珠。
根據IEEE C62.41.2-2002年版,A.5明文指出:
Limited tests conducted by some
manufacturers and informally reported have indicated that the stress imposed on
metal-oxide varistor (MOV) SPDs by a 10/350 µs test might be equivalent to the stress imposed by a
standard 8/20 µs test, with a scaling factor in the order of 10, as
shown in the third column of Table A.2. Therefore, by mutual agreement among
the parties involved, a Class I test in accordance with Table A.2 might also be
appropriate.
10/350μs的壓力約為8/20μs的10倍。根據IEEE標準推算,ONAY OLP214避雷針可以承受1250kA(8/20μs)電流測試。
