Abstract

Without clean power, pulp and paper equipment is subject to upsets or catastrophic failures. To cost-effectively eliminate power disturbances due to lightning, fast ringing transients and electrical noise, the use of surge protection devices at building entrance feeders, key branch panels, critical loads and communication lines is recommended. Their use improves the operating reliability of electronic equipment. The following guidelines are intended to help the engineer design reliable sources of power for paper industry equipment.
