IDENTIFICATION

IDENTIFICATION NAMEPLATE The identification nameplate (see Figure 1) is located on the inside of the door/cover.

Figure 1: SPD Nameplate Example

SAFETY LABELS

English versions of all safety labels (danger, warning, caution) are provided.

SPD LOCATION CONSIDERATIONS

 

Environment

The device is designed to operate in an ambient temperature range of

 

-40 to +65 °C (-40 to +149 °F) with a relative humidity of 0 to 95% non-

 

condensing. Refer to the product catalog for further details on enclosures.

 

All SPD’s 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

This device is designed to be surface mounted. Refer to the device submittal

 

drawings or the product catalog for typical mounting dimensions and weight.

 

Install the APC Modular Panel SPD in a restricted access area.

Service Clearance

Equipment Performance

The service clearance should meet all applicable code requirements.

To obtain the maximum system performance, locate the device as close as possible to the circuit breaker to minimize the interconnecting wiring length. For every foot in length of wire, approximately 175 volts per foot (6 kV/ 3 kA, 8/20 microsecond) is added to the suppressed voltage. The suppressed voltage rating is located on the device nameplate and is measured 6 inches from the device terminals, according to UL® 1449 Second Edition.
