specs for a 4000 watt 60hz snubber?
When the power goes off, I have an in-line inverter system (Trace 2500) t
provide AC to my house. The power lines in my area being above ground
lightning sometimes hits the poles and gives huge spikes and surges
Doesn’t happen often, but when it does the next morning people complai
about there TV’s and computer’s blowing up and so on.
I decided to put a home-brew 4000 watt spike protector before the inverte
to protect whatever is on it. I was thinking some heavy-duty 150V varistor
accros neutral-hot-ground, and a snubber.
About the snubber; looking at some resources, I’m still confused. In m
case, AC power should it be:
- L in series with the hot line, C after that across hot and neutral?
- To slow down the spikes at 60Hz, what should the values be?
- Will this handle 4000 watts?
- Any suggestions on winding my own L (core, turns, wire size)?
Help is appreciated!
