Surge Protective Device
(SPD) Location
Considerations
Environment The device is designed to operate in an ambient temperature range of
-4 °F to +149 °F (-20 °C to +65 °C) with a relative humidity of 0 to 95% non-
condensing. The operating temperature of the LCD on the diagnostic display
panel is +14 °F to +140 °F (-10 °C to +60 °C). Refer to the product catalog for
further details on enclosures. All SpikeShield®devices operate normally without
reduction in performance when subjected to shock and vibrations described in
IEC 60721-3-3, Class 3M4.
Audible Noise The background noise is negligible and does not restrict the location of the
installation.
Mounting The device is designed to be surface or flush mounted. Refer to the device
submittal drawings or the product catalog for typical mounting dimensions and
weight.
Service Clearance The service clearance should meet all applicable code requirements.
Equipment Performance To obtain the maximum system performance, locate the device as close to the
circuit being addressed as possible to minimize the interconnecting wiring
length. For every foot of wire length, approximately 160 Volts (6 kV / 3 kA, 8/20
microsecond) is added to the suppressed voltage. The Voltage Protection
Rating (VPR) is located on the device nameplate and is measured six inches
from the enclosure sidewall, according to UL 1449 test standards.
Electrical
Voltage Rating
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH
Confirm the SPD voltage rating on the module or nameplate label is the
same as the operating voltage.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
Prior to mounting the SPD, verify that the device has the same voltage rating as
the power distribution system in which it is installed. Compare the nameplate
voltage or model number on the SPD with the nameplate of the electrical
distribution equipment.
The specifier or user of the device must be familiar with the configuration and
arrangement of the power distribution system in which any SPD is to be
installed. The system configuration of any power distribution system is based
strictly on how the secondary windings of the transformer supplying the service
entrance main or load are configured. This includes whether or not the
transformer windings are referenced to earth via a grounding conductor. The
system configuration is not based on how any specific load or equipment is
connected to a particular power distribution system. See Table 1 for the service
voltage of each SPD.

HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH
• Use conductors rated for the Overcurrent Protection Device (OCPD) per
applicable codes.
• Use conductors rated for the application per applicable codes.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
UL 1449 Type 1 SPDs have been designed and approved for line side
applications prior to the main service disconnect without supplemental
overcurrent protection. Type 1 SPDs may also be installed on the load side of
the main Overcurrent Protection Device (OCPD).
Location of Surge Protective
Device (SPD)
Locate the SPD as close as possible to the circuit being addressed to minimize
the wire length and optimize SPD performance. Avoid long wire runs so that the
device will perform as intended. To reduce wire impedance from surge currents,
the phase, neutral, and ground conductors must be routed within the same
conduit and tightly bundled or twisted together to optimize device performance.
Avoid sharp bends in the conductors. See Figure 2.

Grounding
HAZARDOUS TOUCH VOLTAGE
• Connect the Surge Protective Device ground terminal to the building
grounding grid structure.
• Use an appropriately sized equipment grounding conductor.
• When using metallic raceway or conduit:
— Do not use isolated bushings to interrupt the metallic raceway or conduit.
— Maintain electrical continuity at all raceway and conduit connections using
appropriate bonding devices.
• Do not use a separate isolated ground for the Surge Protective Device.
• Verify proper equipment connection to the grounding system.
• Verify ground grid continuity by performing regularly scheduled inspections
and testing as part of a comprehensive electrical maintenance program.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious injury.
General The device has SPD elements connected from phase to ground. It is critical that
there be a robust and effective connection to the building grounding structure.
The grounding connection must utilize an equipment grounding conductor run
with the phase and neutral (if present) connection of the power system.
For best over-voltage suppression by the SPD, use a single-point ground
system where the service entrance grounding electrode system is connected to,
and bonded to, all other available electrodes, building steel, metal water pipes,
driven rods, etc. (for reference, see IEEE 142-2007). The ground impedance
measurement of the electrical system should be as low as possible, and in
compliance with all applicable codes.
Power System Grounding In addition to the power system configuration and voltage, the power system
grounding method must be considered when selecting the appropriate SPD.
Refer to the following chart for information concerning the suitability of the
SpikeShield SPDs to specific power system grounding method.

Solidly-Grounded Power Systems
SPD DAMAGE AND POWER SYSTEM OVERVOLTAGE
• Do not connect devices rated for use on solidly-grounded power systems to
resistance-grounded (for example, High Resistance Ground) or ungrounded
power systems.
• Verify that the service entrance equipment is bonded to ground in
accordance with all applicable codes.
• Verify that the neutral terminal of the power system transformer feeding the
device is bonded to system ground in accordance with all applicable codes.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury or equipment.
damage
SPDs rated for use on solidly-grounded power systems must not be connected to
resistance-grounded or ungrounded power systems. Such a connection can result
in damage to the SPD.
Always verify the power system grounding configuration prior to application of
power to the device. Confirm that all ground bonds are installed at both the
service entrance equipment and power system transformer prior to application of
power.
Delta and Resistance-Grounded
Power Systems
SPD DAMAGE AND POWER SYSTEM OVERVOLTAGE
• Ungrounded power systems are inherently unstable and can produce
excessively high line-to-ground voltages during certain fault conditions.
During these fault conditions any electrical equipment, including an SPD,
may be subjected to voltages which exceed their designed ratings. This
information is being provided to the user so that an informed decision can
be made before installing any electrical equipment on an ungrounded power
system.
• Resistance-grounded power systems must be maintained in an over-
damped state to limit voltage overshoot and duration during operation.
• Verification and adjustment of correct power system damping should be
done:
— Periodically as part of normal system maintenance.
— Following power system modifications.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury or equipment
damage.
The SPD product is intended for use on resistance-grounded power systems
where the power system has been set for, and is maintained in, an over-damped
state. For the power system to be over-damped, the current through the
grounding resistor during a bolted phase-to-ground fault must be significantly
greater than the total charging current of the system.
Periodic engineering evaluation of the power system is required to determine the
worst-case charging current of the system and to adjust the grounding
resistance accordingly. As the power system is modified, the value of the
grounding resistor must be evaluated and adjusted to maintain the system in the
over-damped state.
