NORMAL OPERATION
Green LED Indicators – The SPD includes two
green LED indicators per phase for redundancy
purposes. Full Protection is indicated when
both LEDs for every phase are illuminated. If
only one LED per phase is illuminated, then the
SPD is providing partial protection. If no LEDs
are illuminated, then the SPD is providing no
protection, or there is no power to the affected
phase(s).
Form C Dry Contact
Similar to the green LED above, the Dry Contact
will change state upon internal SPD failure.
UL 1283 required language concerning the
installation of EMI Filters
a) An insulated grounding conductor that is
identical in size and insulation material and
thickness to the grounded and ungrounded circuit
supply conductors, except that it is green with
or without one or more yellow stripes, is to be
installed as part of the circuit that supplies the lter.
Reference should be made to Table 250-122 of the
National Electrical Code regarding the appropriate
size of the grounding conductor.
b) The grounding conductor mentioned in item a is
to be grounded to earth at the service equipment
or other acceptable building earth ground such as
the building frame in the case of a high-rise steel-
frame structure.
c) Any attachment-plug receptacles in the vicinity
of the lter are to be of a grounding type, and the
grounding conductors serving these receptacles
are to be connected to earth ground at the service
equipment or other acceptable building earth
ground such as the building frame in the case of a
high-rise steel-frame structure.
d) Pressure terminal or pressure splicing connectors
and soldering lugs used in the installation of the
lter shall be identied as being suitable for the
material of the conductors. Conductors of dissimilar
metals shall not be intermixed in a terminal or
splicing connector where physical contact occurs
between dissimilar conductors unless the device
is identied for the purpose and conditions of use.
Maintenance
SPDs require minimal maintenance. We
recommend periodic inspection of diagnostic
indicators to ensure proper operation. We also
recommend keeping the SPD clean as appropriate.
Troubleshooting & Service
Please contact us for any service related issues.
We want to take care of any problems.
Quality SPDs withstand severe duty and attempt to
protect their load until failure. There are electrical
anomalies that SPDs cannot protect against. These
are generally Sustained Overvoltages also known
as Temporary Overvoltages (TOVs). In this context,
Sustained Overvoltages may be only a few cycles.
Failed SPDs tend to be symptoms, not root causes.
We suggest treating a failed SPD as a ‘canary in the
coalmine’ as there may be larger issues at play. As
a generalization, the single largest ‘killer’ of SPDs
is reference to ground issues. If the SPD shows
problems on startup, there is reasonable chance
of bonding/grounding/misapplication issue. This
permanently damages the unit. If not corrected, it
will happen again.
Any returns need a
Return Authorization (RA) number.
