IMPORTANT NOTICE
THE ENTIRE CONTENT OF THIS INSTRUCTION MUST BE READ AND
FULLY UNDERSTOOD BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY INSTALLATION
OR ENERGIZATION OF THE TVSS.
!
SPECIAL ATTENTION MUST BE GIVEN TO VERIFY THAT A PROPER NEUTRAL-GROUND (XO) BOND
HAS BEEN MADE WHEN POWER IS SUPPLIED FROM AN UPSTREAM TRANSFORMER OR ANY OTHER
TYPE OF SEPARATELY DERIVED POWER SOURCE.
FAILURE TO PROVIDE THIS BOND, AS REQUIRED PER ARTICLE 250.30 OF THE NATIONAL ELECTRICAL
CODE, CAN RESULT IN ELEVATED PHASE TO GROUND SOURCE VOLTAGE POTENTIALS. THESE
VOLTAGES CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT AS WELL AS SAFETY HAZARDS
INCLUDING FIRE, ELECTRICAL SHOCK, SERIOUS INJURY, OR DEATH.
THE EQUIPMENT COVERED BY THESE INSTRUCTIONS SHOULD BE INSTALLED AND SERVICED
ONLY BY COMPETENT PERSONNEL UTILIZING PROPER SAFETY PRACTICES AND PROCEDURES.
THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE WRITTEN FOR SUCH PERSONNEL AND ARE NOT INTENDED AS A
SUBSTITUTE FOR ADEQUATE TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE IN SAFE PROCEDURES FOR THIS TYPE OF
EQUIPMENT.

GE TR5451 and TR5452 Model Transient Voltage Surge Suppressors (TVSS) are
designed for installation on low voltage electrical distribution systems, protecting electrical
equipment loads against the damaging effects of transient voltages
Prior to installation of the TVSS, it is critical that the following items have been addressed.
O NOT ATTEMPT TO CONTINUE WITH THE INSTALLATION IF ALL OF THESE CONDITIONS HAVE NOT
D
BEEN MET, OR ARE UNKNOWN.
.
Check the configuration and voltage supply ratings that will be feeding the TVSS
panel to ensure that the proper TVSS model number has been selected for your

PRE-INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS (CONT.):
A
system. Refer to the “VOLTAGE RATINGS & POWER SOURCE
CONFIGURATIONS” chart below. The TVSS model number can be found on the
front of the unit.
Verify that an NEC (National Electrical Code) compliant X0 bond has been made at
the upstream transformer that feeds the electrical supply panel. Per NEC 250.30, this
bond must be in place on all grounded electrical systems.
The TR5451 or TR5452 model TVSS must be installed on a dedicated branch circuit
breaker. The maximum allowable rating for the circuit breaker is 30A / 22kAIC.
Do not attempt to install the TVSS on the upstream (line) side of the Main Breaker or
Fuse.
The TVSS should only be installed indoors in NEMA 1 type locations. Do not install
the TVSS outside or in wet locations.

Before attempting installation, make sure that the preinstallation requirements of this manual have been satisfied.
If the status of the pre-installation requirements are not
known, do not attempt to continue.
MOUNTING
1. TR5451 and TR5452 TVSS units are designed to be
mounted directly to the electrical panel through a ½”
knockout. Mounting feet are also supplied for instances
where direct connection to the panel is not practical. Select
a location that will allow the closest proximity to the breaker
that the TVSS will be connected to.
2. Use the ½” threaded fitting and spacer to secure the
TVSS to the Electrical Panel that is to be protected.

3. The TVSS can be installed in any orientation, however
special consideration should be given to allow periodic
visual inspection of the status indicator lamps.
CONNECTION
1. TR5451 and TR5452 Model TVSS units come equipped
with 10 AWG connection wires to allow termination to the
electrical system. It is important that the TVSS be installed
in a location that is as close to the termination point as
possible. Connection wires should be trimmed to prevent
excessive lead length. Do not coil, loop or make sharp
bends with the connection wires. Every inch of wire that
can be trimmed away will aid the TVSS in it’s ability to
provide the best possible protection level for your system.
2. Refer to the wiring diagrams on the left for your selected
model type. The TR5451 and TR5452 models must be
connected to a branch circuit breaker. The breaker must
not exceed a 30A / 22kAIC rating.
3. Remote Alarm Relay Contacts are provided as an
optional feature on some model types. Contacts are
standard 1 Form C type, rated 5 A, 250 VAC max. Refer to
the wiring diagram on the left for contact configuration. The
relay contact will be closed between “NO” and “COM” under
normal operation. If the TVSS fails, or if power is lost to
the TVSS, the relay contact will open between “NO” and
“COM” and close between “NC” and “COM”.
4. Model types with 210N and 210S part number suffixes
are fitted with jumpers on the alarm terminal block which
connects the “COM” and “NC” contacts to the ground
terminal of the TVSS. This feature should only be utilized
for OEM installations where this type of configuration has
been evaluated as suitable. For all other installations, the
jumpers should be removed so that the alarm contacts will
function normally per paragraph 3 above.
O
PERATION
1. When energized, the green LED status indicator lamps
located on the front of the TVSS will be illuminated. For
TR5451 models, there is 1 indicator. For TR5452 models,
there are 2.
2. If one or both of the of the status indicators are not
illuminated, verify the integrity of the connection
terminations, breaker status, the electrical supply voltage
and the electrical system grounding.
3. If no problems are found, the TVSS could be in failure
mode and require replacement. Contact your local GE
representative for further assistance.
MAINTENANCE
1.
TR5451 and TR5452 model types contain no user
serviceable parts and require no annual maintenance or
Black
calibration. Only a periodic visual inspection of the LED
indicators is required. Do not attempt to repair or otherwise
Green
alter the TVSS unit.
