SPDs on Ungrounded Systems

Caution  –  Ungrounded  systems  are  inherently  unstable  and  can 
produce excessively high line-to-ground voltages during certain fault 
conditions.  During these fault conditions, any electrical equipment 
including an SPD, may be subjected to voltages which exceed their 
designed ratings.  This information is being provided to the user so 
that an informed decision can be made before installing any electrical 
equipment on an ungrounded power system.

Optional Flush Mount Installation Instructions

Caution:  The chassis of the TPS3 11 unit can fall into the wall cavity 
if the four screws attaching the faceplate to the chassis are removed. 
Use caution not to drop the TPS3 11 unit into the wall during instal-
lation or service.

The TPS3 11 unit is approximately 4.0” deep. The unit will not mount 

flush unless there is at least 3.75” of clearance. The unit is designed 
to mount flush on a typical “2 x 4” stud wall with drywall.

Depending on the depth of the wall cavity, there are two installation 
procedures. The preferred installation utilizes Back Flange Mounting. 

The  back  flange  supports  the  weight  of  the  TPS3  unit  and  service 
procedures are greatly simplified. If this can not be accomplished, an 

alternate Front Flange Mount is possible. Please note that the front 

flange installation may create servicing difficulties in the future.

Preferred Installation - Back Flange Mounting: Mount as close as 
possible to the protected panel. Create a wall opening approximately 
6 3/4” tall by 6 1/16” wide. See drawing. (Rotate dimensions 90

o

 as 

appropriate  depending  on  orientation.)    Configure  an  appropriate 
backing plate inside the wall cavity 3 7/8” from the wall face such that 

the unit will be supported from its back. Note the mounting holes on 

the back flange attachments. Be careful not to drop the unit into the 
wall. Configure electrical conductor and conduit connection consistent 

with the installation instructions on page 5. Preplan connections such 
that they are completed prior to fastening the unit to the backing 
plate. Install faceplate/cover prior to energizing and testing the unit.

Alternate Installation - Front Flange Mounting: This method is not 

preferred for installation as servicing is substantially more difficult. 

Extra care should be taken to NOT DROP the TPS3 unit into the wall. 
Mount as close as possible to the protected panel. Create a wall open-
ing approximately 6 3/4” tall by 6 1/16” wide. See drawing. (Rotate 
dimensions 90

o

 as appropriate depending on orientation.) Preplan 

and pre-connect electrical conductor and conduit connections such 
that they are completed prior to fastening the TPS3 unit to the wall. 
Note that removing the four screws attaching the front faceplate to 
the unit chassis will cause the unit to fall inside the wall. 

UL 1283 required language concerning the installation of EMI Filters

a) An insulated grounding conductor that is identical in size and 
insulation material and thickness to the grounded and ungrounded 
circuit supply conductors, except that it is green with or without one 
or more yellow stripes, is to be installed as part of the circuit that 

supplies  the  filter.  Reference  should  be  made  to  Table  250-122  of 

the National Electrical Code regarding the appropriate size of the 
grounding conductor.

b) The grounding conductor mentioned in item a is to be grounded 
to earth at the service equipment or other acceptable building 
earth ground such as the building frame in the case of a high-rise  
steel-frame structure.

c) Any attachment-plug receptacles in the vicinity of the filter are to 

be of a grounding type, and the grounding conductors serving these 
receptacles are to be connected to earth ground at the service equipment 
or other acceptable building earth ground such as the building frame 
in the case of a high-rise steel-frame structure.

d) Pressure terminal or pressure splicing connectors and soldering lugs 

used in the installation of the filter shall be identified as being suitable 

for the material of the conductors. Conductors of dissimilar metals shall 
not be intermixed in a terminal or splicing connector where physical 
contact occurs between dissimilar conductors unless the device is 

identified for the purpose and conditions of use.
