Type 2 Installation
Type 1 installation:
A typical installation of a type 1 SPD will be connected between the
secondary of the service transformer and the line side of the service
panel. This installation is intended to be installed without overcurrent
protection to the SPD.
1. Determining location:
•
Ensure conductor lengths are as short and straight as
possible for best performance. Do not coil excess wire. The
SPD functions best if all bends in wires are rounded, ideally
to a 4” radius. Hard 90 degree bend will reduce efficiency.
Cut all leads to the correct length. Do not coil excess leads.
• Install appropriate weatherproof fittings if the unit is to be
mounted outside.
2. Ensure all mounting and connections are correct and secure.
Once energized the green indicator LED will be ON and visible
through the cover of the SPD.
Type 2 installation:
A typical installation of a type 2 SPD will be connected to the load side
of the service panel and is intended to be installed with overcurrent
protection to the SPD.
1. Determining location:
•
Ensure conductor lengths are as short and straight as
possible for best performance. Do not coil excess wire. The
SPD functions best if all bends in wires are rounded, ideally
to a 4” radius. Hard 90 degree bend will reduce efficiency.
Cut all leads to the correct length. Do not coil excess leads.
• Install appropriate weatherproof fittings if the unit is to be
mounted outside.
2. Connect the white wire from the SPD to the neutral bus bar in
the panel as shown.
• Connection may also be made to the neutral/ground bus bar
if panel does not have a separate ground bus bar.
3. Connect the two black wires to a circuit breaker as shown.
For best performance from SPD the maximum recommended
circuit breaker size of 240 VAC,up to 30 A, 2-pole should be
used.
4. Ensure all mounting and electrical connections are correct and
securely fastened. Once energized the green indicator LED will
be ON and visible through the cover of the SPD.
AC Disconnect Installation
1. To be installed with over current protection up to 60 A.
Maintenance:
•
AC Voltage SPD:
•
Periodically check SPD to ensure green indicator LED is ON.
If green LED is OFF, protection has diminished and the SPD
should be replaced immediately.
