Type 4 component assemblies are designed for repeated limiting of transient voltage surges as specified in this Standard on 50 or 60 Hz power circuits over 42 V and not exceeding 750 V.
1.3
The surge protective component used in a Type 4 component assembly may include but not be limited to metal oxide varistors (MOVs), silicon avalanche diodes (SADs), spark gaps, and gas discharge tubes (GDT).
1.4
This Standard does not apply to EMI filters which may have surge suppression characteristics as covered in CSA C22.2 No. 8.
1.5
The values given in SI units are the units of record for the purposes of this Standard. The values given in parentheses are for information and comparison only.
