2 INSTALLATION
2.1 Before Installation
Perform or plan the following before installing the SPD:
1. Locate your electrical system’s applicable wiring diagram in Sections 2.2 & 2.3
2. Verify that your electrical system’s voltage and wiring configuration matches that of the SPD as
shown on its label.
3. De-energize the SPD, and follow safe work practices to avoid an electrical shock hazard.
4. Ensure that a Neutral to Ground/Earth bond is present at the SPD. Note that the SPD may be
damaged if not connected to ground.
5. Measure the voltage between Neutral and Ground. If this voltage is greater than 5 Vac, then a
problem may exist in the electrical system. The SPD can still be installed under this condition, but
a licensed/qualified electrician should be consulted to correct the problem.
6. The SPD can be mounted in any position. If necessary, the cover may be rotated 180 degrees to
improve readability of the label. When removing the cover, be careful not to damage the indicator
light circuit board or wiring attached to the cover.
7. Isolated Ground: The SPD’s ground wire is internally bonded to its housing. If the electrical
system utilizes an isolated ground, then the SPD’s housing must also be isolated from ground
using insulated conduit fittings, and its ground wire must be connected to the system’s isolated
ground bus.
8. Plan to use weatherproof (corrosion resistant) conduit and fittings to maintain the enclosure’s
NEMA 4 (IP66) or 4X rating.
9. Plan to install the SPD as close as possible to the electrical panel. Long lead lengths and sharp
bends between the SPD and the panel will degrade the performance of the SPD.
10. Plan to install 30 A circuit interrupt devices as described in Section 2.4.

2.4 Installing Circuit Interrupt Devices
The SPD must be connected to the electrical system through a 30 A circuit interrupt device as listed in
Table 2-1. The circuit interrupt device can consist of fuses, individual circuit breakers (single breaker for
each phase), or a multi-pole / single throw breaker.
A pre-existing breaker of rated load size may be utilized if provisions for multi-conductor connections are
made according to U.S. NEC 110-14a (or other applicable country codes). Avoid using a pre-existing
breaker that when operated will cause a critical system shut down.
For XT-40 Single Phase applications (refer to Section 2.2, Single Phase Diagram), note that if the Neutral
wire is used as Phase B, then an additional interrupt device must be used for that phase.

2.5 Conduit Installation
When planning the conduit installation, avoid using 90° elbows and keep the conduit run as short and
straight as possible. See Figure 2-1. When applicable, use weatherproof (corrosion resistant) conduit and
fittings to maintain the enclosure’s NEMA 4 or 4X rating.
If the system utilizes an isolated ground, then the SPD’s housing must be isolated from ground using
insulated conduit fittings.
Figure 2-1. Conduit Installation Guidelines
2.6 Mounting the SPD
The SPD is to be installed through a panel knockout and via its mounting feet. Place SPD against
mounting surface and mark feet positions. Complete conduit connection installation. Screw box to surface
with appropriate screws. Mounting dimensions and weight are shown in Figure 2-2.
Mount the SPD to provide the shortest and straightest possible wire installation from the SPD to the
system bus. Excessive wire length and sharp bends will degrade suppressor performance;
therefore, avoid excessive wire length and sharp bends when all possible.
If installing on a system other than an electrical panel, mount SPD in close proximity to the system being
protected using the necessary means for mounting.
Note: A circuit interrupt device is still required when installing suppressor on a
system other than an electrical panel.
The SPD contains no position-oriented components and can be mounted upside down or sideways.
Cover may be rotated 180 degrees to improve label readability. Take care to support cover to prevent
damage to indicator light circuit board and wiring.
WARNING! Cover will not seal when rotated ONLY 90 degrees. This invalidates NEMA 4 rating
and may create safety hazard.

2.7 Wiring SPD to Electrical System
Important! When connecting the wires from the SPD to the electrical system, cut the
wires as necessary to keep them as short as possible. In addition, to maximize the SPD’s
performance, also twist and bind the wires together to reduce the impedance of the wire.
1. Locate your electrical system’s applicable wiring diagram in Section 2.2 or 2.3. Reference
this wiring diagram as necessary in Steps 2, 3, and 4.
2. Connect the Ground wire (green) from the SPD to the system’s Ground bus bar.
Important! If the system utilizes an isolated ground, then its ground wire must be
connected to the system’s isolated Ground bus.
3. For the XT-40, connect the Neutral wire (white) from the SPD to the system’s Neutral bus
bar (not required for 3-Phase Delta systems – NN201, NN400, and NN501).
4. Connect each Phase wire from the SPD through one of the circuit interrupt devices
installed in Section 2.4 to the system’s corresponding Phase voltage connection.
Tip: To ensure that the front panel phase voltage LEDs glow evenly, be sure that the phase wires
are attached to their associated phase (A to A, B to B, and C to C). The wires or terminals of the
SPD are marked with the intended phase for the electrical system (A, B, or C). Use a phase
rotation meter to identify the electrical system’s phase sequence prior to wiring the SPD — DO
NOT trust existing markings.

2.8 Power Up and System Checkout
Apply system power and observe that the LED(s) on the front of the SPD should glow. One LED should
glow for each Phase voltage being monitored.
Should there be a significant difference in brightness, check the phase rotation of the panel and ensure
that the SPD’s Phase wires are connected to the correct phase. Slight differences in brightness DO NOT
indicate a faulty device, rather specification tolerance differences of the indicator circuit’s components.
LED brightness symmetry and/or level do not indicate the SPD’s operational status.
