Precautions
SpikeShield® Non-Modular Surge Protective Device (SPD)
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH
• Apply appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and follow safe
electrical work practices. See NFPA 70E.
• This equipment must only be installed and serviced by qualified
electrical personnel.
• Turn off all power supplying this equipment before working on or inside
equipment.
• Always use a properly rated voltage sensing device to confirm power is off.
• Replace all devices, doors and covers before turning on power to this
equipment.
• This equipment must be effectively grounded per all applicable codes.
Use an equipment-grounding conductor to connect this equipment to
the power system ground.
Failure to follow these instruct ions will result in death or serio us injury.

LOSS OF BRANCH CIRCUIT POWER/LOSS OF SURGE
SUPPRESSION
• Ensure that the branch circuit breaker or fuse trip characteristic has
been coordinated with the overcurrent components inside the SPD (See
Tables 1 and 2).
• Perform periodic inspection of the SPD status indicator lights as part of
the preventative maintenance schedule.
• Promptly service the SPD when an alarm state exists.
• Use dry contacts to signal an alarm state to the central supervisory
system for unmanned, inaccessible, or critical installations.
• Use multiple SPDs to achieve redundancy for critical applications.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury or equipment
damage.
At end-of-life conditions, Surge Protective Devices (SPDs) can lose their
ability to block power system voltage and attempt to draw excessive current
from the line.This SPD is equipped with overcurrent and overtemperature
components that will automatically d iscon nect the surge suppression
elements from the mains should the surge suppression elements reach end of
life. Tripping of the branch circuit breaker or fuse feeding the SPD can occur.
Mitigate the tripping of the branch circuit breaker or fuse feeding the SPD by
coordinating the surge suppression elements with the branch circuits.
For the purposes of coordination, the SPD is equipped with overcurrent
components that will limit the per phase I
those listed in tables 1 and 2 when connected to a power system with a
short-circuit current rating not exceeding 200,000 A.

CAUTION
LOSS OF SURGE SUPPRESSION
• Do not energize the SPDs until the electrical system is completely
installed, inspected, tested, and all conductors have been connected
and functional, including the neutral.
• Verify the voltage rating of the device and system before energizing
the SPD.
• Disconnect the SPD, including the neutral, from the power source
before performing high-potential insulation testing or any tests where
SPD components will be subjected to voltages higher than their rated
turn-on voltage.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury or equipment
damage.
Electrical equipment should be installed, operated, serviced, and maintained only by qualified personnel.

Unpacking and Preliminary
Inspection
Proper installation is imperative to maximize the surge protective device’s
effectiveness and performance. The installer should follow the steps
outlined in this instruction bulletin to ensure proper installation. Read the
entire instruction bulletin before beginning the installation. These
instructions are not intended to replace national or local electrical codes.
Check all applicable electrical codes to verify compliance. Installation of
surge suppressors should only be performed by qualified electrical
personnel
Inspect the entire shipping container for damage or signs of mishandling
before unpacking the device. Remove the packing material and further
inspect the device for any obvious shipping damage. If any damage is found
and is a result of shipping or handling, immediately file a claim with the
shipping company.
Storage The device should be stored in a clean, dry environment. Storage
temperature is -40 °F to +149 °F (-40 °C to +65 °C). All of the packaging
materials should be left intact until the device is ready for installation.
Safety Labels English versions of all safety labels (danger, warning, caution) are provided.

Installation Considerations
Environment The device is designed to operate in an ambient temperature range of
-4 °F to +149 °F (-20 °C to + 65 °C) with a relative humidity of 0 to 95% noncondensing. Refer to the product catalog for further details on enclosures.
®
All SpikeShield
SPDs operate normally without reduction in performance
when subjected to shock and vibrations described in IEC 60721-3-3, Class
3M4.
Audible Noise The device background noise is negligible and does not restrict the location
of the installation.
Mounting The device is designed to be surface or flush mounted. Refer to the device
submittal drawings or the product catalog for typical mounting dimensions
and weight.
Service Clearance The service clearance should meet all applicable code requirements.
Equipment Performance To obtain the maximum system performance, locate the device as close to
the circuit being addressed as possible to minimize the interconnecting
wiring length. For every foot of wire length, approximately 160 volts
(6 kV / 3 kA, 8/20 microsecond) is added to the suppressed voltage. The
Voltage Protection Rating (VPR) is located on the device nameplate and is
measured 6 inches from the device terminals, according to UL 1449 Third
Edition.
Electrical equipment should be installed, operated, serviced, and maintained only by qualified personnel.
No responsibility is assumed by Hubbell for any consequences arising out of the use of this material.
