Current Technology recommends installing CurrentGuard by using Conductor Sizing the following conductor size for phase, ground and neutral connec- tions. The conductor length should be as short as possible to ensure the maximum level of protection. Use a larger conductor (not to exceed the maximum allowed per a given model) where space and bending radii permit.
Connecting Form C All CurrentGuard units come standard with one set of Form "C" dry relay contacts for the surge protective device status. These contacts are Dry Contacts for connection to a user-provided remote alarm and monitoring cir- cuit. The relay contacts are rated 150VDC/125VAC with maximum switching power of 30WDC/60VA AC.
Verification and Power Up WARNING: It is recommended that the cover of the CurrentGuard unit along with its associated cabling be installed prior to applying power. The monitoring harness, which exits the epoxy and connects to J2 on the monitor board, contains line voltage when power is applied to the unit.
