MPplus Technical Specifications
High exposure protection – Compatible with all Current Technology MasterPLAN® facility-wide suppression filter system products
FEATURES
Powerful MPplus units offer selenium-enhanced protection for large ampacity service entrances and service entrances near utility substations or on grids with other large industrial users. Standard MPplus features include:
Selenium-enhanced suppression filter assembly: Selenium cells dramatically increase reliability and extend suppression filter system life by protecting MOVs from damaging overvoltage swells and long duration transients
seamless technology: Proprietary design concept integrates four suppression and filtering components — selenium, polypropylene capacitors, non-linear voltage dependent metal oxide varistors (MOVs) and precise component geometry — for maximum performance and reliability
Diagnostic test point: Allows easy DTS-2 Diagnostic Test Set integration
Fused disconnect: Integral UL listed safety interlocked fused disconnect switch enhances safety, reduces installation cost, improves performance, optimizes reliability and permits system testing without interruption of facility power. Coordinated UL listed 200 KAIC field replaceable Class J fuses provide added convenience and safety
StatusWatch diagnostic monitoring with display event counters: Diagnostic monitoring package includes audible alarm, alarm silence/test, double form “C” dry contacts, status indicator lights and display event counters
Warranty: Ten Year Extended Warranty – includes direct lightning strike coverage

SINGLE PULSE SURGE CURRENT CAPACITY
Protection mode | Single pulse surge current capacity per mode |
Line-to-Neutral | >300,000 amps |
Line-to-Ground | >250,000 amps |
Neutral-to-Ground | >250,000 amps |
Line-to-Line | >300,000 amps |
Per Phase | >550,000 amps |
In compliance with NEMA LS 1-1992, paragraphs 2.2.7, 2.2.9 and 3.9, Current Technology suppression filter systems are single pulse surge current tested in all modes at currents up to 150% of the product design rating by an industry-recognized independent test laboratory. Single pulse surge current capacities of 200,000 amps or less are established by single-unit testing of all components within each mode. Due to present industry test equipment limitations, single pulse surge current capacities over 200,000 amps are established via testing of individual components or sub-assemblies within a mode.
REPETITIVE SURGE CURRENT CAPACITY
Protection mode | Minimum tested impulses per mode |
Line-to-Neutral | >13,000 |
Line-to-Ground | >13,000 |
Neutral-to-Ground | >13,000 |
Line-to-Line | >13,000 |
Per ANSI/IEEE C62.41-1991 and ANSI/IEEE C62.45-1992, all Current Technology suppression filter systems are repetitive surge current capacity tested in every mode utilizing a 1.2 X 50m sec 20KV open circuit voltage, 8 X 20 m sec 10 KA short circuit current Category C3 bi-wave at one minute internals without suffering either performance degradation or more than 10% deviation of clamping voltage at a specified surge current.
