This Section includes Transient Voltage Surge Suppression (TVSS) equipment of parallel design for power <br /> distribution systems rated 600 V and less. Extent of TVSS work is indicated by drawings and schedules, and as <br /> specified herein. It includes requirements for equipment for this project including,but not limited to,the following: <br /> 1. Branch Circuit Panelboards. <br /> 1.03 DEFINITIONS <br /> A. "Transient Voltage Surge Suppression": Devices used for the protection of all AC electrical circuits from the <br /> effects of lightning induced currents, substation switching transients and internally generated transients resulting <br /> from inductive and/or capacitive load switching and high frequency electrical line noise filtering. It protects for <br /> surge currents in both directions. <br /> 1.04 SUBMITTALS <br /> A. General: Submit the following in accordance with the Conditions of the Contract and Division 1 Specification <br /> Sections: <br /> 1.
