SP1 Surge Protective Device
Installation & Operation
Instruction Manual
IM01005036E
Rev. 2
1.0 Introduction
This manual describes how to install a Surge
Protective Device (SPD) in parallel (shunt)
across the AC supply of the following types of
electrical systems:
• Split Phase
• Three-Phase Wye
• Three-Phase Delta
The SPD is designed to be installed on service
entrance, branch panels, and/or individual
equipment disconnects, and functions to protect
sensitive electronic equipment from damaging
voltage transients. The connecting wires do not
carry supply current. Instead, they carry only
short- duration currents that are associated with
a transient event.
These instructions do not cover all details,
variations, or combinations of the equipment,
its storage, delivery, installation, checkout, safe
operation, or maintenance. If you require further
information regarding a particular application
or installation that is not covered in this manual,
please contact Eaton’s Power Quality Technical
Support at 1-800-809-2772, option 4, option 2.
1.1 Safety Precautions
A licensed/qualied electrician must complete
all instructions described in this manual in
accordance with the U.S. National Electrical
Code, state and local codes, or other applicable
country codes. All electrical codes supersede
these instructions.
WARNING! SHOCK HAZARDS:
Improper installation can cause death,
injury and/or equipment damage. Follow all
warnings and cautions. Completely read and
understand the information in this instruction
manual before attempting to install or operate
this equipment.
Improper wiring could cause death, injury,
and/or equipment damage. Only licensed/
qualied electricians who are trained in the
installation and service of electrical devices are
to install and service this equipment.
Use appropriate safety precautions and
equipment for arc ash protection.
During normal operation, hazardous volt-
ages are present inside the SPD.
When servicing the SPD, follow all safe work
practices to avoid electrical shock.
CAUTION
Do not perform a high-pot test with the SPD
connected to the electrical system. Failure to
disconnect the SPD during a high-pot test will
result in damage to the SPD.

Voltage Code
240S = 120/240V single split-phase
208Y = 120/208 wye
480Y = 277/480 wye
600Y = 347/600Y wye
240D = 240 delta
480D = 480 delta
600D = 600 delta
