Page 25: Protecting Your 6510E
If a circuit breaker is installed, it must be installed on the load side of the 6510e (downstream). This will keep the low impedance of the input line connected to the 6510e for surge suppression. If the line side must also contain a breaker, it should be delayed in operation to open after the load side breaker has opened. -
Page 26: Circuit Breakers
The voltage sense lines are connected at the line side of the circuit breaker to help prevent inductive transients from entering the 6510e as the circuit breaker opens. Make sure that connections from the circuit breaker to the load are heavy conductors and short as possible. -
