Surge Protective Device (SPD)
Bonding and Grounding Hazard
Verify that the neutral conductor in the service entrance
equipment is bonded to ground in accordance with the
National Electric Code (NEC
®
) and all applicable codes.
Verify that the neutral terminal (XO) on the secondary side of
distribution transformers are grounded to the system ground in
accordance with the NEC
®
and all applicable codes.
During installation into an electrical system the SPD must
not be energized until the electrical system is completely
installed, inspected and tested. All conductors must be
connected and functional including the neutral (if required).
The voltage rating of the SPD and system must be veried
before energizing the SPD.
Failure to follow these guidelines can lead to abnormally high
voltages at the SPD. This may cause the SPD to fail. The
warranty is voided if the SPD is incorrectly installed and/or if
Safety First – Hazardous Voltage & Shock Hazard
WARNING – IMPORTANT – PLEASE READ – WARNING
• Only qualied licensed electricians should install or service SPDs
• Hazardous voltages exist within SPDs
• SPDs should never be installed or serviced when energized
• Use appropriate safety precautions including Personal Protection Equipment
• Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, and/or equipment damage
• This manual shall be read in its entirety prior to installing
the neutral conductor in the service entrance equipment or
downstream of separately derived systems is not bonded to
ground in accordance with the NEC
®
.
Do Not Hi-Pot Test SPDs
Any factory or on-site testing of power distribution
equipment that exceeds normal operating voltage such as
high-potential insulation testing, or any other tests where the
suppression components will be subjected to higher voltage
than their rated Maximum Continuous Operating Voltage
(MCOV) must be conducted with the SPD disconnected
from the power source. For 4-wire systems, the neutral
connection at the SPD must also be disconnected prior to
performing high-potential testing and then reconnected after
test completion.
Failure to disconnect SPD and associated components
during elevated voltage testing will damage the SPD and
will void the warranty.
