This manual provides guidelines for the proper installation of the JSP Series
of devices. Proper product selection and compliance with these guidelines
will help your new suppression system provide years of reliable service. If
installers are unsure about the facility electrical configuration or have other
installation-related questions, it is recommended they consult with a master
electrician or other qualified electrical professional.
When shortcuts are taken or installation procedures are not followed, the
JSP Series may become damaged or may not provide adequate protection. It
is extremely important to follow these installation procedures carefully.
W A R N I N G !
THE JSP SERIES WARRANTY IS VOIDED if the unit is damaged as a
result of improper installation or the installer’s failure to verify the
following conditions prior to installation.
W A R N I N G !
HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES PRESENT: Improper installation or
misapplication may result in serious personal injury or damage to the
electrical system. Read the complete installation instructions before
proceeding with installation. Remove all power to the electrical panel
before installing or servicing the SPD.
W A R N I N G !
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS: All work must be performed
by licensed and qualified personnel. The electrical system must be
properly grounded in accordance with the U.S. National Electrical
Code, state and local codes or other applicable codes for this SPD to
function properly. This device is suitable for installation where the
available short circuit current is 200,000 rms symmetrical amperes
up to 600VAC or less. For countries outside of the US follow applicable
electrical specifications for the country the unit is being used in.
W A R N I N G !
Check to ensure that a proper bond is installed between neutral and
ground at the transformer upstream from all 3-Phase Wye, 3-Phase
High-Leg Delta or Split-Phase JSP Series device (See NEC Article 250).
If the transformer is not accessible, check the main service
disconnect/panel for the NG bond. Lack of a proper bond will
damage JSP Series and void the warranty.
W A R N I N G !

All JSP Series units can be connected without an
upstream breaker/fuse.
2 JSP 60 through 100kA and all JSPR units are furnished
with #10AWG leads.
Conductor Sizing & Routing
CAUTION: The JSP Series unit’s performance will be limited
severely if the conductors are (a) too long, (b) are of too small a wire
gauge, (c) have too many bends or (d) have sharp bends. For optimum
performance never exceed 10' conductor lengths.
The factors listed above should be addressed during the design of an
installation to reserve a suitable place for the JSP Series unit next to its
point of connection to the electrical system. The selected mounting location
should allow for the shortest possible conductor runs and a direct route with
a minimum of bends. If bends are required, they should be sweeping bends.
Do not make sharp 90° bends for appearance purposes because they will
severely decrease the effectiveness of JSP Series unit.
Binding or twisting conductors together using tie-wraps or electrical tape
increases the protection performance of the device.
The conductor length should be as short as possible to ensure the maximum
level of protection. Wires are marked with (Phase A, B, C, Line 1, Line 2,
Neutral or Ground) depending on the model.

• 60 through 100kA units are shipped with #10AWG leads. Leads should be
shortened during installation in order to minimize conductor length.
• 120 through 400kA units are shipped with compression box lugs.
The set screws on the box lugs should be torqued to 20 in-lbs.
• Terminals are identified with markers (Phase A, B, C, Line 1, Line 2,
Neutral or Ground)

Upstream Overcurrent
Protection Device
The JSP Series unit is a Type 1 SPD which is suitable for use in both Type 1
and Type 2 SPD applications. The JSP Series unit is a one-port SPD and is
to be connected in parallel with the electrical system. It may be connected
via a circuit breaker, molded case switch, fused switch, or connected directly
to the bus of the panelboard or switchboard it is protecting. If direct bus
connection is used, Joslyn
®
recommends installing the JSP Series unit behind
a disconnect switch or other disconnecting means for ease of serviceability.
If the SPD is connected to a dedicated OCPD, a 60A breaker is recommended
(30A minimum, 200A maximum).

Wire Connections
Contacts shown in de-energized state
(alarm condition).
Units that come with Form “C” dry relay contacts provide status of the surge
protective device. These contacts are for connection to a user-provided remote
alarm and monitoring circuit. The relay contacts are rated 65VDC/150VAC with
maximum switching power of 30WDC/60VA AC. The Form “C” contacts come
pre-wired with 36" of #20AWG conductors on the JSP 60 to 100kA models and
on all JSPR models.
When input power is present on all phases, terminals “NO” (Normally Open)
and “COM” (Common) are an open circuit and terminals “NC” (Normally Closed)
and “COM” are a closed circuit. The contacts change state when the unit has
encountered failure to one or more phases.
The installer must provide the appropriate raceway and wiring for the monitoring
circuit, observing the restrictions and conduit openings illustrated in an earlier
section of this manual.
Models: JSP60kA to JSP100kA with -M option and JSPR Series
For these models, the Form “C” contacts come pre-wired with 36" of #20AWG
conductors.

Use butt splices within the panelboard to connect the Form “C” leads to the
user’s monitoring circuits. Alternatively, install a junction box between the JSP
Series and the panelboard to connect Form “C” leads to user’s monitoring
circuits. If the Form “C” contacts are not used, user has the option of either
cutting off the leads or coiling up the leads and saving them for potential
future use. Consult applicable local codes to ensure proper installation.
Models: JSP120kA to JSP400kA
For these models, the Form “C” contacts must be wired by the installer.
See Figure 8 for the Form “C” contact configuration and terminal location on
the monitor board. The annotations on the diagram match the markings on the
terminal block.
The installer must route the monitoring conductors to the terminal blocks on
the door mounted main monitoring board. Route the wires to allow the door
to be opened and closed properly. Tighten screws on terminals to 3.5 in-lbs.
(0.4 Nm). This terminal block will accept wire sizes #28AWG–#16AWG.
#18–#20AWG is recommended.
