The SPD termin als accept a range of 12 AWG (3 mm 2 ) to 2 AWG (34 mm 2 ) copper wire for phase, neutral, and ground conn ectors. Torque connections to the followi ng values. Branch[...]

Installation and Operation Ma nual 11 Location of SPD Install Type 2 SPDs on the load side of th e main Overcurrent Protection De vice (OCPD) to comply with NEC Article 28 5 for Type 2 SPDs. Locate the SPD as close as possible to the circuit being ad dressed to minimize the wire length and optimize SPD perfo rmanc e. Avo id long wire runs so th at [...]

12 Installation and Operation Manu al Grounding The SPD has leakage current to ground when energized and can present a hazardous touch voltage. The device has SPD elements conne cted from phase to ground. To prevent hazardous touch voltage on the SPD enc losu re during normal operation or during SPD end-of-life , it is critical that there be a robu[...]
