PowerMod.

PowerMod Surge Protection Updates - See list below:(ref. BTKB-615)

  • The ASCO TPS3 series and FirstSurge family of product is no longer available from the supplier.

  • Existing orders for PMod product will be filled from stock or product previously ordered where possible.

  • Changes for External Mount TPS3 and FirstSurge will be affective with the February release.

    • The 4 current TPS3 “Type 1 - External mount” at 50000 Surge current for is being replaced by one TPS4 device. (TPS4A03050N = N-G connection included, but no dry contacts or external Indicator light)

    • The 4 current TPS3 “Type 1 - External mount” at 100000 Surge current for is being replaced by one TPS4 device. (TPS4A0913D00 = N-G connection included, but no dry contacts or external Indicator light) (130k Surge current)

    • “Type 2 - External Mount” are ordered the same way as before, but the child line will show the new Catalog #. (FS060 changes to FSPD060, FS100 changes to FSPD100, FS140 changes to FSPD140)

  • Changes for Internal Mount TPS3 to TPS4 will not take effect until March or April release – pending PLM300 date.

  •  These are changing from “Factory installed” to “Field installed” SPD products to help with Supply chain issues.

  • PowerMod WB and WEB additions - See list below:(ref. BTKB-681) - New 1140A variations are being introduced to stay below the 1200A DAS requirement.

  • WB11140C, WB11140CU, WB31140C, WB31140CU

  • WEB11140B, WEB11140BU, WEB31140B, WEB31140BU

  • Enhanced or corrected some table values for Lug kits as needed:

    • Lug kit tables were reviewed and updated in previous releases.  A few additional “fixes” have been addressesd in this release where corrections were needed.

  • “Center-Fed” Module Layout rules have been updated. 

    • PowerMod Cross-bus has a 1200A max. rating. Any device that allows more than 1200A on the Line side input is classified as a “Center-Fed” Module and must have “load type” modules on both the left and right side for the “Center-Fed” module.  Devices like elbows, spacers and Surge modules, are NOT “load type” modules, and cannot be the only device on either side of the “Center-Fed” module.  These issues have been addressed.

    • WBM module types are now following the “Center-Fed” rules during layout.

    • Note: It is up to the customer to balance the loading in any line-up. COMPAS does not have all the information/loading available to assist with “load balancing or limiting” on either side of the “Center-Fed” Module. Best practice would be to have a Cross-bus Main on both sides of the “Center-Fed” Module, but that is not a requirement.
