4. MOUNTING & CAUTIONS
The performance of surge diverters can be
dramatically affected by the method of
connection (refer section 7). Where possible
select a mounting method that allows the
Movtec to be connected in the “Preferred
Connection Method”.
Failure of a Movtec under severe AC over-
voltage, such as 11kV on 240V mains, can
result in the generation of significant heat.
Consideration should be given to ensure that
Movtecs are not installed in close proximity to
combustible materials.
Units must be installed in an enclosure or
panel to provide the appropriate degree of
electrical and environmental protection.
Only use enclosures that:
• Do not cause the Movtec temperature to
exceed 60 deg C
• Provide adequate electrical and safety
protection
• Prevent the ingress of moisture and water
• Allow Movtec Status Indication to be
inspected
