  • MCOV and VP are only applicable for models with options N-G protection – see below.
  • N-G protection is suggested downstream of the N-G bond when the unit is installed > 10’ (3m) from the service entrance or transformer.
  • Use the standard device for installation of SPD at or near the service entrance or transformer < 10’ (3m) (N-G Bonded does not require N-G protection).

FAQs

Q: What is the purpose of the N-G protection configuration?
A: N-G protection is suggested downstream of the N-G bond when the unit is installed > 10′ (3m) from the service entrance or transformer. Use the standard device for installation of SPD at or near the service entrance or transformer < 10′ (3m) (N-G Bonded does not require N-G protection).

Q: How do I know if the surge protector needs replacement?
A: Check the LED status indicator on the surge protector. If it shows “OUT”, it indicates that the surge protector needs replacement.
