Page 6: Mounting Instructions
Mounting Instructions Optimize device performance by keeping connecting wires as short and straight as possible. Plan the wiring path(s) prior to commencing the installation procedure. Locate the SPD as close to the available disconnecting means to minimize the length of the connecting wires. Securely mount the SPD unit using the four (4) mounting holes provided in the enclosure’s mounting flanges. -
Page 7: Electrical Connections
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS Ensure that all power is removed before beginning installation. Verify that the voltage rating is appropriate for connection to the intended power source. Connect the green/yellow Ground wire and the white neutral wire. Then connect the black (phase A), Red (phase B), and Blue (phase C) wires, keeping all conductors as short and straight as possible, ideally less than 18 inches. -
Page 8: System Grounding And Bonding
Figure 4. Electrical Connections SYSTEM GROUNDING AND BONDING For proper SPD performance, the service entrance grounding electrode system must comply with the NEC (National Electric Code) by having all available electrodes properly bonded together and connected to the power system grounding (building steel, driven rods, concrete encased electrode). For optimum SPD performance, an earth ground resistance of <... -
