  • Page 90 Access Power Solutions Installation and Operation Guide (APS6-600 Series for 3kW Rectifiers) Primary Transient Protection Primary transient protection must be considered at all sites. Eaton recommends primary transient protection on the incoming ac supply either at the main ac switchboard or sub-switchboard.
  • Page 91 2kA. Tertiary Transient Protection Eaton rectifiers are fitted with 6kV/3kA transient protection. This is designed to protect the rectifiers from voltage spikes generated during operation of the upstream transient protection system. Do not install rectifiers without adequate upstream surge protection.
