Discharge capacity
Testing is conducted using voltage and
current pulses according to the
IEC 61643-21 standard concerning
surge protection in networks which
process signals.

Category C reects the interference
pulses with quick-rising edges and
minimised power. Category D uses
quick-rising edges and high power
to detail the interference pulses. This
energy simulates the high-power
load that stems from coupled partial
lightning currents.
Error mode
The VSSC and VSPC series are tested
pursuant to IEC/EN 61643-21 and
meet Mode 1 and 2 requirements.

Markers
The VSPC BASE lower section can
be labelled with Dekax-5 markers.
The VSPC pluggable modules are
colour coded with Dekax-5 markers
according to their rated voltage.
V-TEST

surge protection.
VSPC Ground
This plug is attached to unused wires in
the base element, so that all wires have
the same potential.
