ASCO 360 Surge Protective Device (SPD)

Wiring

Parts List

Follow steps 1 through 6 to make wiring connections: 

1. 

Turn off all power supplying this equipment before working on or inside 

any enclosure containing this equipment.

2. 

Confirm SPD is rated for your system by comparing voltage measure

-

ments to the Line Voltage (L-N) on the product label.

3.  Identify proper location for the SPD. Locate as close as possible to 

the mains of the panel being surge-limited so the wires are as short as 

possible. Mount unit securely.

Note:

 

The SPD must be installed in an accessible location (not within 

walls unless surface mounted with the ASCO KITFMXF flush mount kit).

4.  Install in accordance with national and local electrical codes and match 

the branch circuit Overcurrent Protection Device (OCPD) to the wire 

size.

5.  Twist conductors 1/2 turn or more for every twelve inches of length.

6.  Do not loop or coil wires. Be sure to maintain adequate wire bending 

space per NEC.
