Components for low-voltage surge protective devices - Part 321: Specifications for avalanche breakdown diode (ABD)

Composants pour parafoudres basse tension - Partie 312: Spécifications pour les diodes à avalanche (ABD)

Date:
2001-12-04 /Vigente
Summary (English):
Is applicable to avalanche breakdown diodes (ABDs) which represent one type of surge protective device component (hereinafter referred to as SPDC) used in the design and construction of surge protective devices connected to low-voltage power distribution systems, transmission, and signalling networks. Test specifications in this standard are for single ABDs consisting of two terminals. However, multiple ABDs may be assembled within a single package defined as a diode array. Each diode within the array can be tested to this specification. This standard contains a series of test criteria for determining the electrical characteristics of the ABD. From the standard test methods described herein, the performance characteristics and ratings of the ABD can be verified or established for specific packaged designs.
