NOTICE

CONDUCTING DIELECTRIC AND/OR

HI-POTENTIAL TESTING WILL CAUSE

INTERNAL DAMAGE TO TPS3 UNIT.

Do not perform dielectric or high potential

tests with the TPS3 unit installed.

Bonding and Grounding Hazard

Verify that the neutral conductor in the service entrance equipment is bonded to ground in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC®) and all applicable codes.

Verify that the neutral terminal (XO) on the secondary side of distribution transformers are grounded to the system ground in accordance with the NEC® and all applicable codes.

During installation into an electrical system the SPD must not be energized until the electrical system is completely installed, inspected and tested. All conductors must be connected and functional including the neutral (if required). The voltage rating of the SPD and system must be veriﬁed before energizing the SPD.

Failure to follow these guidelines can lead to abnormally high voltages at the SPD. This may cause the SPD to fail. The warranty is voided if the SPD is incorrectly installed and/or if the neutral conductor in the service entrance equipment or downstream of separately derived systems is not bonded to ground in accordance with the NEC®.

Do Not Hi-Pot Test SPDs

Any factory or on-site testing of power distribution equipment that exceeds normal operating voltage such as high-potential insulation testing, or any other tests where the suppression components will be subjected to higher voltage than their rated Maximum Continuous Operating Voltage (MCOV) must be conducted with the SPD disconnected from the power source. For 4-wire systems, the neutral connection at the SPD must also be disconnected prior to performing highpotential testing and then reconnected after test completion.

Failure to disconnect SPD and associated components during elevated voltage testing will damage the SPD and will void the warranty.

Industry Standards Changes - 2009

Siemens TPS3 SPDs have the following Type designations

UL 1449 Third Edition and 2008 NEC® Article 285 generated substantial changes.

• The term TVSS changed to SPD

• Types 1, 2, 3 & 4 SPDs are created

• UL 1449 clamping voltage performance testing changed from 500A to 3,000A

• UL 1449 added new Nominal Discharge Current testing (I nominal, or In), which consists of more rigorous duty-cycle testing

The SPD Type category is important to understand before installing any SPD. Type 1 and 2 SPDs are fully UL Listed devices whereas Type 4 SPDs are UL Recognized devices.

Type 1 – Installed on line or load side of the Main Overcurrent Protection (OCP), similar to obsolete products known as Secondary Surge Arrestors, except now includes rigorous safety testing. Includes all OCP & safety disconnectors inside the SPD. Type 2 – Installed on load side of the Main OCP, similar to previous products known as TVSS. May or may not require external OCP. Type 3 – Point of Utilization, direct plug in type devices, surge strips, etc. Theses devices are intended for installation 10 meters from the panel (rationale based on IEEE Cat. A location). Type 4 – Surge suppression components, could be a basic component or a complete module. Type 4 components can be tested for Type 1, Type 2 or Type 3 applications.

Equipment Performance

As SPDs sense overvoltage, they create a momentary internal short circuit, thereby redirecting harmful surge energy to earth ground. SPDs are capable of repeating this function repeatedly. For optimum protection, staged surge suppression should be implemented at the service entrance and all other distribution or panelboard locations feeding sensitive equipment.

Voltage Rating

Prior to installing the TPS3 SPD, verify that the unit has the correct voltage rating for the equipment installed by checking the nameplates of both the equipment and TPS3 module. The service type should match the intended power source. See Table 2 on the following page for voltage applications.
