Non-Modular Surge Protective Device (SPD)
IDENTIFICATION
Hubbell Wiring Devices
1-800-729-3406 | www.Hubbell-Wiring.com
Electrical equipment should be installed, operated, serviced, and maintained only by qualified personnel.
No responsibility is assumed by Hubbell for any consequences arising out of the use of this material.
Identification Nameplate
The identification nameplate is located on the inside of the door/cover.
Installation Considerations
Environment
The device is designed to operate in an ambient temperature range of
-4 °F to +149 °F (-20 °C to + 65 °C) with a relative humidity of 0 to 95% non-
condensing. Refer to the product catalog for further details on enclosures.
All SpikeShield
®
SPDs operate normally without reduction in performance
when subjected to shock and vibrations described in IEC 60721-3-3, Class
3M4.
Audible Noise
The device background noise is negligible and does not restrict the location
of the installation.
Mounting
The device is designed to be surface or flush mounted. Refer to the device
submittal drawings or the product catalog for typical mounting dimensions
and weight.
Service Clearance
The service clearance should meet all applicable code requirements.
Equipment Performance
To obtain the maximum system performance, locate the device as close to
the circuit being addressed as possible to minimize the interconnecting
wiring length. For every foot of wire length, approximately 160 volts
(6 kV / 3 kA, 8/20 microsecond) is added to the suppressed voltage. The
Voltage Protection Rating (VPR) is located on the device nameplate and is
measured 6 inches from the device terminals, according to UL 1449 Third
Edition.
