DESCRIPTION
The 587B Low Profile (LP) Series of 120 Volt AC Surge Suppressors is designed for
use by the OEM, equipment installer and or maintenance contractor. These modules
employ a three stage technology proven to be the most cost effective and reliable
method in protecting sensitive electronic equipment from over voltage transients.

This series is designed to protect AC powered equipment from the 6,000 Volt peak
open circuit voltage and 3,000 Amp short circuit current as defined in ANSI/IEEE
C62.41, Category CI.
The 587BxxxLP Series offers a high degree of protection against 120 VAC line EMI
noise. It is ideal for protecting 400 Volt components because the solid state TVS
technology assures that the line-to-neutral voltage will not exceed 400 Volts. While
the modules are designed for transient voltage protection, the advanced circuitry will
also attenuate the amplitude and slow the rate of rise of high frequency noise acting
as an EMI filter. The 587BxxxLP Series includes common mode and differential
mode protection, which are effective in reducing interference from line to equipment
and are effective in reducing equipment generated noise to meet FCC, VDE and CSA
interference requirements

Figures 1 and 2 are photographs of digitized waveforms
showing the typical clamping action of a 15 ampere module.
A 12 Ohm resistor is used to represent a 10 Amp equipment
load. The load is then subjected to the ANSI/IEEE C62.41
Category CI test conditions (6,000V/3,000A). These photo-
graphs contrast the effect on equipment with and without the
protector.
