Q. Why utilize "Two Staging?" A. Due to the nature of physics, lead wire lengths, impedance's, etc, a small but potentially destructive component of the leading edge of a fast transient will get by the Meter -Treater device, and still must be dealt with by a high quality second stage device. This should be located at the point of use, plugged into the outlet, and the sensitive equipment "load" then plugged into it, to ensure that no damage will occur. Q. Will Meter-Treater®'s also protect against TOV's? A. Even though Meter -Treater have been documented by some utilities in the past to have helped prevent damage to systems from some utility TOV's (Temporary Over Voltages), the units are not specifically designed for that purpose. Rather, they are designed for electrical transients, such as are associated with lightning, electrical grid switching, motors starting and stopping, furnace ignitors, etc. Faced with a TOV, Meter - Treater 's will act just as if a large transient is occurring and clamp on it (diverting it to ground), but at a certain point the coordinated safety fusing will take effect, and the Meter - Treater will take itself out of the loop. (An independent testing laboratory has subjected the device to over -voltages similiar to those generated if a neutral connection is broken or corroded. A series of tests were performed applying step increases in AC voltage. The units could withstand up to 200V indefinitely without going into a thermal runaway condition. At 210V, the device went into a runaway condition and disconnected the load within one second. Another measurement of disconnect speed was of the device extinguishing a 2,800 A rms fault in one cycle, due to the benefit of the device's arc quenching design, in coordination with its custom internal fusing). We believe that in those instances documented and published by some utilities, in which TOV's occurred, and the homes with Meter -Treater 's suffered virtually no damage vs. the unprotected homes suffering major damage, that the TOV's were most likely very short duration, and the combination of utility safeguards, in conjunction with the Meter -Treater 's and internal protectors, acted together in fortunate combinations. Certainly the Meter -Treater 's helped substantially, but we do know the severity of what TOV's can do, and we just want you to know that Meter -Treater 's are not a cure all panacea. Rather they are a best effort, based upon very extensive lightning laboratory research, to provide an extremely powerful surge and transient protective device for a reasonable cost.

The WHOLE HOUSE '" surge protection Company 605 Capri Blvd. St. Petersburg, FL 33706 INTRODUCING Meter -Treater Sunbrightlln October 1992 The Meter -Treater Sunbright circuit board is quite unique in design and far superior to anything on the market today. Voltage is sensed downstream of the yellow fuse links and the ground is tied to the canister on the right bolt. Directly beneath the landing point on the board, and sandwiched between the container, are the two 40mm MOW The board is double sided and coated to MIL Spec I-46058C. The LEDs are a special super bright model ( 1000mcd + ) and are located at the three o'clock position for easy viewing. The LEDs can be seen from the front QO degree viewing angle) and at distances in excess Qf 100 yes in daylight, The LEDs are being run at 5-6 milliamps (.005-.006 amps) which is a fraction of their rated capacity of 1 amp continuous. This gives the LEDs an estimate lief in excess Qf ten years according ttQ the manufacturer. The resistor in series with the lights is a special power resistor. Because of its size, five times greater than needed, it does not get hot enough to fall into the de -rating curves. The most unique component is the capacitors, which serve to soften the blow of actual transients, like a shock absorber!!. Our concern was extra fast transients which could damage the diodes and LEDs. In essence we have su gege protecte M lights, something most manufacturers do not do. Due to the complexity of assembling the unit we do not recommend any attempt at disassembly, such an attempt would damage the MOVs and alter testing. Each unit is individually surge tested at the factory and visually inspected several times during assembly. 1-800-638-3788 THE DIFFERENCE IS BRILLIANT! The new METER -TREATER® Sunbright status indicator system Not all status Indicator systems are the same. Sunbright TM high intensity We know it's important for your personnel to quickly determine operational status. While others use dim 30mcd lights we use very bright 1000mcd lights for even the brightest days and reliable status determination. It is easy to see why the METER- TREATER® is ten times brighter than the others. These super bright indicators help eliminate possible com- plaints from your home owner or meter reader. FOW protection LED(s) and their associated diodes have a life of more than 10 years, but to add to the METER -TREATER® reliability we have added front of wave (FOW) diode and LED protection that the others just don't have. Reliable status indication is important, see the dif- ference below. Graph one shows the voltage pulse across the LED and diode without FOW protection. Graph two shows the METER -TREATER e with the FOW protection. Units without FOW protection METER TREATER® with FOW protection True fuse status The Sunbright indicator system shows the status of ALL the fuses, something the others just don't do. We even include an explanation label for the home owner. Unique design While others use non -exterior lights with wires and crimps, we believe reliable engineering is simple. This is why the Sunbright board is unique in its reliable moisture sealed, wireless design. The flush mounted lights are easy to view. They are mounted at the three o'clock position so your meter reader does not have to bend down to check the unit. 01992 Meter -Treater Inc. Ater -Treater Inc.

Meter -Treater® End -of -Life Failure Mode Test Data Southern Development / Georgia Power Research Center Project No. C95984 Introduction Mr. Stan Allina of Meter -Treater Inc., Mangonia Park, Florida, requested the results of "end -of - life failure mode" testing performed on his product by the Research Center for the Georgia Power Co. The product of interest was the single-phase, 120/240V, 200A, plug-in meter -base surge suppressor. End -of -life failure mode testing was performed for two formal Georgia Power Co. projects and for several informal (non -report) tests. This report contains only data from the in-house testing performed on the above product. Also, contained is the fuse curve data for the same product. Excerpts from these reports are identified within the body of this report. Release of data in this report in no way grants rights or access to other data contained in the referenced reports or to any other report or document prepared by the Research Center. Discussion / Results Project 90-250. August. 1991 "An end -of -life failure mode test was performed on four Meter -Treater® service entrance surge suppressors. Two samples each of two different confidential arc quenching designs were tested. The test was designed to investigate the failure and clearing mechanism of the Meter -Treater® service entrance surge suppressor when a surge suppression element fails with high available fault current." The four samples provided had the following serial numbers: 6017PD, 6018PD, 6019AD, and 6020AD. "The test circuit was fed by a 167kVA distribution transformer with a 120/240V low side. This transformer fed directly to a load distribution center with an 800A main breaker. Wired from the main bus was a 200A fused disconnect equipped with two 20ONLN slow blow fuses. A 200A meter box was then wired to the fused disconnect. Initially, the left side metal oxide varistor of each Meter -Treater® service entrance surge suppressor was punctured by temporary over -voltage with a lightly fused, high impedance power supply. For testing, the sample was then mounted in the meter socket and the 800A main breaker was used to energize the test sample. Metering of the fault current was performed using a 2000/5A current transformer, a l0A/100mV current shunt, and a Honeywell digital oscillograph. To view the fault mechanism, a Panasonic Camcorder was used. This allowed a frame by frame study of the test. A 150A circuit breaker in the power distribution panel had first been used in the test circuit between the 800A main breaker and the 200A disconnect. This caused the first two (one of each design) Meter -Treater® service entrance surge suppressor fuses not to blow, by limiting the available fault current and tripping before the fuses. After eliminating the 150A circuit breaker from the circuit, the final two (one of each design) Meter -Treater® service entrance surge suppressor' fuses cleared the fault in one cycle. The available fault current for this test set up was greater than 2800A,,." The first half -cycle of fault current was approximately 2800ARms for each sample. Copies of the oscillograms for each sample are contained in Appendix A. Conclusion "... two new arc quenching designs were tested. Both of the new arc quenching designs in coordination with internal fusing performed adequately by extinguishing a 2800ARms fault current in one cycle. Details of the arc quenching designs are confidential. The current model Meter -Treater® service entrance surge suppressor incorporates the designs that passed testing in this project.... and one of the arc quenching designs (both passed) is .presently used...." (in the Georgia Power model). Project 91-202, November. 1991 "Fuse curve data was acquired two ways. For the lower currents (below 300A) a do constant current supply was used, and for the higher current data point, our short circuit transformer was used. The results are shown in the attached graphs. The fuse current vs time graph appears fairly smooth and consistent with that of fuse elements. However, the graph showing the thermal rating (I't) of the fuse is not a flat line for all currents as expected. Proprietary Information For whatever the reasons, these fuse elements display a high I't rating at high currents and a low I't rating for low fault currents. This phenomenon would help allow the large (40 mm) metal -oxide varistors to pass high surge currents (> 30kA) without blowing a fuse." The following two figures contain the thermal and time/current data from this testing.

The new test facility provided 7kA of available fault current. Two of the models were from Georgia Power stock and two were from Gulf Power stock. Similar to the fault current withstand test in ANSI/IEEE C62.11, the mov element was first punctured by overvoltage using a lightly fused, high impedance ac power supply. Then, both legs were energized simultaneously, applying full available fault current to the device at full rated voltage (120/24OVac). After the failure mode test, a IOkVdc withstand test was performed. The test circuit was fed by a 37.5kVA overhead distribution transformer with a 240/120V low side. This transformer fed a 60OV, 600A class fused disconnect equipped with 600A slow blow, renewable fuses. Following the disconnect was a 60OV, 2400A contactor which was used to initiate and terminate the test. This contactor remained closed for at least ten seconds, provided catastrophic failure of the sample did not occur. Following the contactor was a standard 200A service entrance meter enclosure. The device under test was then plugged into this meter -base. In order to energize all components in the device, meter shorting bars were installed in the jaws. Then, for safety and containment of any conductive gasses or plasma, as a meter housing would in a field installation, a plastic meter cover was installed with a holding ring. For engineering information, a meter was used in lieu of the shorting bars and meter cover for some of the tests. In order to pass the Georgia Power requirements for this test, the internal fusing of the surge suppressor must clear the fault without significant damage to the device, meter, or meter enclosure, and without phase -to -phase or phase -to -neutral arcing. After this test, the damaged leg (side) of the sample must withstand the application of lOkVdc for 5 minutes, without removing any part(s) from the device or the damaged fuse element. Also, the undamaged leg (side) of the sample must withstand the application of IOkVdc for 5 minutes, with its fuse element removed (any wires/leads/connectors to the fuse element must remain). GPC M/T #1 had the left side mov element pre -failed. The ground lead was installed under the _ neutral wire (nor recommended). In lieu of a meter cover and shorting bars, a meter was installed in order to determine if the meter impedance would influence the magnitude of fault current. The sample cleared the major fault current in one cycle. The second half cycle had the greatest magnitude of fault current: 2489A. (3520ApK). There were five minor almost half -cycle burps following the major fault of approximately 640Apy each. The sample passed the withstand test afterwards. Gulf Power M/T #1 also had the left side mov element pre -failed. The ground lead for this sample was landed under the nearest meter -base jaw block mounting screw. Shorting bars and a meter cover were installed this time. The sample cleared the fault in one cycle. The first half -cycle had the greatest magnitude of fault current: 2715ARMS (384OApK). Gulf Power did not request a withstand test. GPC M/T #2 had the right side mov element pre -failed. The ground lead was landed under the nearest meter -base jaw block mounting screw. A meter was installed in this sample. This sample cleared the fault in one and one-half cycles. The first half -cycle had the greatest fault magnitude: 2941ARw (4160A.0. This sample also passed the withstand test afterwards. Gulf Power M/T #2 also had the right side mov element pre -failed. The ground lead was landed under the nearest meter -base jaw block mounting screw. A meter was installed in this Gulf Power sample. The sample cleared the fault in two and one-half cycles with one minor burp (112OAw) following. The greatest magnitude of fault current occurred during the last half -cycle: 2262AR a (3200AP,). Gulf Power did not request a withstand test. The oscillograms from these tests are contained in Appendix B. -- Conclusion Both models, Georgia Power and Gulf Power versions, of the Meter -Treater® plug-in meter -base - surge suppressor passed the Georgia Power requirements for end -of -life failure mode testing. Also, noted were two items: 1) that the ground lead may be satisfactorily installed under a meter -base jaw block mounting screw, and 2) the insertion loss of a meter installed in this test fixture was _ negligible. General Conclusions Several samples of the Meter -Treater®, single-phase, 120/24OV, 200A, plug-in meter -base surge suppressor have been tested for in-house information at the Georgia Power Research Center for end -of - life failure mode. All of the Meter -Treater® samples cleared the fault currents satisfactorily. Also, those samples tested for do withstand at IOkVdc passed. The withstand test of both legs of a sample indicates the amount of contamination within the device after an mov element failure. Passing the do withstand ____.__ �._.�..i,.,.............,a,......:«ti:...l.e ae..:..o .,.,A thorafnra inriirates the Safety of the device to remain energized atter an mov element rauure. The fuse data gathered shows that the Meter -Treater® utilizes fuse elements with a non -linear I?t characteristic. This allows the fuse elements to pass high values of surge current while still operating properly at the expected values of ac power follow current at "end -of -life". -a ' ' allo-IT d LLLL l; uuu•� � `EL o �- 0 Q/ n dC• mm00 _ nmoo anon LLLLda »» 26 Nm Ci - AG" f tolt" — noon LLLLLLLL LLLLLLLL OOGO Meter -Treater, Inc.
