Operation of protection elements

Operation of protection elements

 

— This practical operational issue: what to do with such points as here? Someone came up with it because there was a need. How to use and examine the state of overvoltage protection elements then – it is simply impossible in this case.

— And here the fault signaling is installed that turns on a light indicator when the element burns out. But at night, security may see it.

ПЕРИМЕТРОВЫЕ ОХРАННО – ТРЕВОЖНЫЕ СИСТЕМЫ PERIMETER SECURITY AND ALARM SYSTEMS

 

— Another example is perimeter security and alarm system. When we select overvoltage protection, it also has a great importance, because of its dimensions. Cable lengths there reach 100, 200 and sometimes 300 meters and it is clear that they will always induce more overvoltage in them than with such small local systems.

— Take a look as an example, image here is a little bit unclear. Can you zoom in here? I did that.

— Miroslaw, I'm sorry, I'll interrupt you. Dear colleagues, please use the magnification tools. They are located under the presentation, the zoom with a green plus or red minus. If Miroslaw zooms in on the picture at home, it is not zoomed in for you automatically.

— Well, if it is not visible there, then zoom in. This object, for our purpose, is indicated simply as a large fence. Perimeter belt length is about 8.5 km. Such objects definitely exist. Inside it we see the main object of surveillance, such as a guard at a distance of one hundred meters from the perimeter belt, so the cable is at least one hundred meters with a sensor and more. And some additional object of surveillance at a distance of 500 meters from the perimeter. Also look at the cable lengths that will be longer. You see that right away. And, based on the threat assessment, we consider contraction zones to such an object about 416,000 m2.

 

 

Laying cable under the ground

— Different detection methods are applied. In this case, the special wires are laid in the ground. And here we must immediately understand that if they are laid in the ground, then the lightning that strikes it in the ground or strikes the column, or strikes the fence, it will spread over the area, and leak to the devices through the cables that are in the ground and will leak into our devices. But here, if we look closely, we will see spark gaps installed. But it turns out that those spark gaps gave too much voltage, and the whole system burnt out. During the first strike to this object, built about 15 years ago, all security systems burnt out due to wrong selected protection and because of the inconsistency of the stability of these systems in the electromagnetic network that appeared in this place.

 

Perimeter protection of alarm system

— One of the schemes to protect the local control point that is located at the perimeter because of the length of the signal lines. And from this console is transmitted to the central with information. So we see here that such console is protected from all sensors and from the standard RST-4-8-5 data highway between the central point and the local control point.

— An object that I have already shown, but it is good to return to such objects. The object is a tower about which we have already started talking today, where the object is by the sea and where, for some reason, on a rising ground, the lightning strikes often. And please look, all sensors have local protection, motion sensors, all barriers. Here the receiver and transmitter, all have SPDs.

— The figure is repeated. That is, we install SPDs everywhere locally. There must be an SPD, in Polish we call it ZOP, where we protect all the wires passing through such a barrier. I can say that when we worked in the nuclear power plant and guard perimeter had stopped burning out, the problems immediately disappeared. Without such elements it is simply impossible.

Examples of internal device protection

— Let's look at an example of the internal protection of devices that manufacturers supply.

— We cannot say that they absolutely do not understand what a threat is. And if only for their devices to pass tests for electromagnetic compatibility, they installed here, for example, varistors. This is from our exhibition, it will be at the end of April, we always exhibit there. Here are the varistors, and let's think for a bit, what happens when these elements trigger? That is, according to ideology, everything is fine, but in this case we allowed the overvoltage to pass to our board with a microprocessor system, so that here the surge current flew through the element.

— Example: a varistor circuit that is located at the end of 200-300 meters cable cores. It had to protect some kind of gas station. It is simply impossible. These elements simply burnt out. And after local grounding these elements simply burnt out. All wrong. Today I have prepared so much, I hope that I have more or less explained everything. What do we do next, Aleksei? I read the questions, I see one: "In the continuation of my question, can you send the link to the standard technical documentation of the RF that regulates the requirements for laying and lightning protection of communication cables?"

— Yes, Miroslaw, thanks for the report. Today we finished on time. The question came from Dmitrii, he already asked the first question about screened communication cables and this is an addition to it. Dear colleagues, if you have more questions on the report or even surge protection, in particular low-current lines, please send them to the chat or to our email.

— Dmitrii, excuse me, please, but I do not completely understand your standards.

 

 

— Thank you, Miroslaw! If you have questions later, please, send them to our email address. Once there are no questions, we may finish the meeting. Thank you all for coming today. Miroslaw, a special thank you for the report. Dear colleagues, please register to the next webinars. I will send the link to the chat again. Thank you all, see you again soon!

— Thank you all! Thank you, Aleksei. At the next webinar we will talk about the elements in more details, show what kinds of them exist. Good bye!
