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 verified

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 qualified 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.
