    FAA-STD-019F Surge Protective Device Specifications.pdf
    This document outlines the specifications and requirements for Surge Protective Devices (SPDs) intended for power distribution equipment protection, ensuring compliance with FAA standards. Key aspects include the necessity for UL listing, enclosure ratings (NEMA type-12 for indoor and type-4 for both indoor/outdoor), and criteria for device performance and operational parameters. The SPD must maintain maximum continuous operating voltage (MCOV), minimal leakage current, and specific clamping discharge voltages, while ensuring self-restoration after surge events. Further details highlight the structural requirements of the SPD, such as accessible fusing and indicators, potting material specification, heavy-duty terminations, and needed overcurrent protection. Tables provide surge current levels, lifetime surge ratings for various installations, slope resistance measurements, and voltage protection ratings essential for maintaining operational integrity under electric surges. This document is crucial for vendors responding to government RFPs and grants, as it establishes the performance criteria necessary for ensuring safety and reliability in electrical installations, particularly in federal and local governmental contexts.
