SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!!
This Manual contains important instructions for the TB1 Series Surge Protective Device that should be followed
during installation and maintenance of the Surge Protective Device.
Before Installation
WARNING - SERIOUS INJURY OR DAMAGE MAY
RESULT FROM INSTALLING A PRODUCT WITH AN
IMPROPER VOLTAGE RATING. CONTACT Superior
Electric at 1-800-787-3532 IF VOLTAGE RATINGS ARE
NOT IDENTICAL.
Voltage and Current Verification
THE FOLLOWING IS INTENDED FOR QUALIFIED
ELECTRICAL PERSONNEL ONLY. COMPLETELY READ
THESE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE INSTALLATION. CALL
SUPERIOR ELECTRIC AT 1-800-787-3532 WITH ANY
QUESTIONS. IT IS THE FINAL RESPONSIBILITY OF
THE INSTALLING ELECTRICIAN TO ENSURE THAT
ALL LOCAL CODES AND OTHER APPLICABLE SAFETY/
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS ARE MET AND THE
UNIT IS CORRECTLY INSTALLED.
Prior to installation, verify that the voltage and current
ratings of the intended electrical system or circuit in which
the product is being installed, do not exceed those of the
TB1 product.
Install the TB1 electrically in series between the AC electrical power source and the load to be protected.
The TB1 unit contains no user-serviceable parts.
Mounting
1. Remove all power feeding the site of the TB1
connection.
2. The TB1 Series is designed for installation within or
adjacent to electrical or electrically-driven equipment.
Electrical Connections
1. The TB1 must be protected via a circuit breaker with a
maximum ampacity of 30 amps.
2. Determine the location of the AC source supplying power
to the load.
3. The TB1 is to be installed in series between the AC
power source and the equipment to be protected.
4. Using the appropriate phase, neutral and ground
conductors, connect the incoming power source to the
input terminals of the TB1.
5. Connect the output terminals of the TB1 to the
corresponding load input.
6. Make all electrical connections using the appropriate
conductor size:
USE ONLY THE L1 TERMINAL
LUG FOR THE PHASE WIRES
(INPUT & OUTPUT) WHEN
CONNECTING TB1 IN A SINGLE
PHASE CONFIGURATION
Adjacent installation requires a sealed enclosure. Care
should be taken to ensure exposed terminals do not
come in contact with personnel.
3. Within the equipment to be protected, mount the TB1
securely to the enclosure or other mounting surface
using the holes provided in the two opposite corners (see
drawing below).
