FAQs
Installation requires wiring the device into the direct bus mounted panelboard, ensuring 480 V delta supply compatibility, and confirming 50/60 Hz operation. Mount the SPD internally as designed, connect appropriate conductors to L-G and L-L terminals, verify the MCOV ratings, and enable the internal surge counter and audible alarm. After installation, perform a functional test to confirm signaling and protection are active.
Key ratings include 80 kA per phase surge current, 640 V line-to-ground and 640 V line-to-line MCOV, nominal discharge current of 20 kA, 200 kAIC interrupt rating, short-circuit rating of 200 kA, 50/60 Hz operation, and an operating temperature range of -40 to 50 C. These specs support protection for 480 V delta systems in harsh industrial environments.
