Page 2: Failure To Follow These Instructions Could Result In Death Or Serious Injury
WARNING - Hazardous Voltage & Shock Hazard Failure to Follow These Instructions Could Result in Death or Serious Injury • 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 entirety prior to installing Bonding and Grounding Hazard Verify that the neutral conductor in the service entrance equipment is bonded to ground in accordance with the National Electrical 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 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-... -

General Information Industry Standards Changes - 2009 UL 1449 Third Edition and 2008 NEC® Article 285 generated substantial Product Family Outline changes. TPS3 12 – Single Module in enclosure • The term TVSS changed to SPD TPS3 15 – Two Modules in enclosure • Types 1, 2, 3 & 4 SPDs are created • UL 1449 clamping voltage performance testing changed from Each is available with Standard modes (most common) or discrete 500A to 3,000A 10-modes (specific application). For example, TPS3 12 is a SPD in an • UL 1449 added new Nominal Discharge Current testing (I nominal, enclosure with Standard modes of protection; TPS3 L12 is a SPD with or In), which consists of more rigorous duty-cycle testing an enclosure having discrete ten mode protection. The SPD Type category is important to understand before installing The TPS3 12 & TPS3 15 families are intended for use as a Type 1 external any SPD. Type 1 and 2 SPDs are fully UL Listed devices whereas Type mount SPD. See Model Number Decoder in Table 1 (page 3). 4 SPDs are UL Recognized devices. Type 1 SPD Type 1 – Installed on line or load side of the Main Overcurrent Protection (OCP), similar to obsolete products known as Secondary Type 1 SPDs include internal overcurrent protection and have been Surge Arrestors, except now includes rigorous safety testing.

Wire Size and Installation Torque This is a parallel-connected SPD; it is not series-connected. The size of the SPD wiring is independent of the ampere rating of the protected circuit. Recommended wire is 6 AWG for phase, neutral and ground Module Rotation Feature connections. Torque connections to 18 inch-pounds. Conductor length should be as short as possible. Installation lead wire length must be minimized because longer leads hurt performance. Lead length may be reduced by rotating If other wire sizes are used, all conductors must be the same gauge. -
