Description / Abstract:
The scope of this standard is to define performance criteria and
test methods for plug-in (portable) multiservice (multiport) surge
protective devices (MSPDs) intended to protect equipment connected
to one or more metallic conductive communication line(s) and a 120
V/240 V single phase ac power service, with the neutral grounded at
the service equipment. These devices are intended for installation
at receptacles supplying power via a branch circuit of the
installation, and jointly at receptacles or jacks delivering
signals from communications services, for the purpose of providing
protected power and signals to a variety of information technology
equipment.
Purpose
The purpose of this project is to provide a uniform
specification/test document for design and application engineers,
specifiers, and test laboratories to use in designing and testing
this type of surge protective device.
