BSPDxx100 Series Installation Instructions
Hazardous Voltage.
Will cause death or serious injury.
Turn off and lock out all power supplying this device before
working on this device.
Replace all covers before power supplying this device
is turned on.
Installation Procedure:
1. This device is suitable for use on a circuit capable of delivering
not more than 200kA rms symmetrical amperes.
2. Turn off and lockout the power to the panelboard in which
the device is to be installed.
3. Remove the panelboard/load center cover/deadfront.
4. If installing onto the xGB/3VA41 barrier, install supplied
mounting adapter (Figure 2).
5. Place SPD in position, aligning to bus as shown (Figure 3a and 3b).
6. Utilizing the screws provided with the panelboard, attach
the SPD's line terminals to the panelboard bus. Torque the
screws per panelboard specifications, or 5-7 lbs-in.
7. On a single phase or 3-phase Wye voltage system, connect
the white pigtail wire from the SPD unit to the neutral bus
bar, making the wire as straight and short as possible.
Torque per panelboard markings, or 5-7 lbs-in.
Note: If the user is connecting the WYE SPD unit to the ground
bus bar in order to change/increase the modes of protection or
increase the surge current capacity, wrap the white wire with
green electrical tape as per code.
8. On a Delta voltage system, connect the green pigtail wire from
the SPD unit to the ground bus bar, making the wire as straight
and short as possible. Torque per panelboard markings, or
5-7 lbs-in.
9. On a Hi-leg Delta system make sure that the middle contact
of the SPD matches the B-phase (center bus).
10. The remote contacts (250VAC 1A; 48VDC 0.5A) are factory
configured series/parallel with all modules interconnected to
a single connector for ease of monitoring the status of the
suppressor.
11. A typical application circuit for the remote contacts is shown
in Figure 4, where a power source can be used to turn off a
circuit or remote alarm in the event of suppressor failure (or
turn-on a circuit/alarm).
12. Replace the panelboard cover/deadfront and restore panelboard
power.
13. Verify that the green indicator light is flashing for all BSPDs installed.
