ASCO 360 Surge Protective Device (SPD)

Electrical

Branch Circuit Overcurrent

Protection and Disconnect Means 

Location of Surge Protective  

Device (SPD)

HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH

•  Use conductors rated for the Overcurrent Protection Device (OCPD) per 

applicable codes.

•  Use conductors rated for the application per applicable codes.

Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

A branch circuit Overcurrent Protection Device (OCPD) either in the form of 

a circuit breaker or fuse must be provided for the ASCO 360 Type 2 device. 

The branch circuit OCPD should either provide or include a disconnecting 

means.

Since the current drawn by the ASCO 360 device during normal operation is 

negligible, the ASCO 360 device can be connected to a dedicated, separate 

branch circuit or connected to a suitable existing branch circuit.

When connected to a separate, dedicated branch circuit, the OCPD setting 

must be selected to protect the conductors feeding the ASCO 360 device 

per applicable state and local building codes.

UL 1449 Type 1 SPDs have been designed and approved for line side appli- 

cations prior to the main service disconnect without supplemental overcur- 

rent protection. Type 2 SPDs must be installed on the load side of the main 

Overcurrent Protective Device (OCPD). All installations should either provide 

or include a disconnecting means.

Locate the SPD as close as possible to the circuit mains being surge-limited 

to minimize the wire length and optimize SPD performance. Avoid long wire 

runs so that the device will perform as intended. To reduce the impedance 

that the wire displays to surge currents, the phase, neutral, and ground 

conductors (wye and high-leg delta configurations), or phase and ground 

conductors (delta configurations), must be routed within the same conduit 

and tightly bundled or twisted together to optimize device performance.

Avoid sharp bends in the conductors. See Figures 2 and 3.
