1.2 Product Overview
The Eaton SPD Series protects critical electrical and electronic
equipment from damage by power surges. This is done by Series Voltage Code Application
shunting high energy lightning surges (and other transient dis-
turbances) away from the equipment being protected. It does
this in nanoseconds by providing a low impedance surge path to
ground while supporting power frequency voltage. kA Rating Feature Package

The Eaton SPD Series is designed to mount on Panelboards,

Switchgear, Switchboards, Busway, and Motor Control Centers
(MCCs). It is available with surge current capacity ratings from For example, a 480 volt Delta (3-wire plus Ground) for use in

7. Connect the System Ground wire (green) to the SPD’s

Surge Ground connection using a ring terminal suitable
for use with a #10 fastener and a #10-32 x 3/8" fastener
(customer supplied). Tighten the Surge Ground connection
to 4.1 Nm (36 in-lbs). If the system uses an isolated ground,
connect the isolated ground wire to Surge Ground. There
are two Surge Ground connection points provided on the
SPD. Connect only one of them. See Figure11.

the application voltage and system. See Table 5 in Section 6,

on the SPD. Connect only one of them. See Figure 12. possible to the circuit breaker.
4. Determine the wire length required to connect to the
breaker and cut Phase wires to the appropriate length.
(To maximize SPD performance, wire length should be
as short as possible). Note: For wire lengths longer than
4", Phase wires should be twisted once for each 4" of
wire length to maximize SPD performance.
5. Connect Phase wire to circuit breaker. NEC requires that
conductors to a surge device be protected by an overcur-
rent protection device. The cables on the SPD are #10 AWG,
therefore would require a 30A 3-pole breaker. See Figure 14,
and the wiring diagrams shown in Figures 6, 7, 8 and 9.

Figure 12. Neutral Connection

9. The SPD (Standard and Standard with Surge Counter mod-

els) also has an available connection for remote monitoring
of the Form C relay contacts. See Figure13. This is a green
connector located on the side of the SPD. To make the con-
nection, remove the green connector and install the remote
monitor leads (connector supports 12-24AWG wire). Fasten
the remote monitoring wires to the N.O., N.C and COM
connection points per the label on the front of the SPD.
Contacts are rated: 150 Vac or 125 Vdc at 1A. Follow all
national, state and local electrical codes. With wiring com-
plete, plug the green connector into the SPD.

codes. With wiring complete, plug the green connector into
the SPD.
9. The final step of the SPD installation depends on the spe-
cific application. The various applications are listed below
by catalog suffix.
a. Suffix 'B': This is the Remote Display Panel (RDP)
option. The RDP option requires the addition of a fac-
tory supplied RDP cable. See Section 3.3, "Remote
Display Panel (RDP) Option" for Cable Catalog num-
bers.
1. Install the RDP using cutout and mounting dimen-
sions provided in Figure 15.

b. Suffix 'C': This unit is intended for use in Panelboard,

Switchboard, and Busway applications.
1. Ensure that the dead-front or door has the appro-
priate cut-out to accommodate the SPD Display.
See Figure 4 or Figure 5.
2. Install dead-front or door and secure.
c. Suffix 'J': This unit is intended for MCC applications
that require a NEMA 12 enclosure rating.
1. Ensure that the MCC bucket door has the appro-
priate cut-out to accommodate the SPD Display.
See Figure 4 or Figure 5.
2. Place an appropriate NEMA 12 rated gasket around
the Display opening on the inside of the door.
3. Install the door and secure.

3.0 Operating Features 3.2.2 Standard Feature Package

3.1 General The Eaton SPD Series Standard Feature Package display is
shown in Figure 19.
The Eaton SPD Series comes in three feature packages: Basic,
Standard, and Standard with Surge Counter. The operating spe-
cifics of each feature package are described below.
The Eaton SPD Series requires no operator involvement, other
than to monitor the display panel to determine status of the
SPD.
After system power is applied, the SPD automatically begins
protecting downstream electrical equipment from voltage tran-
sients.
Some SPD units have a Form C relay contact that allows for the
remote indication of SPD status. Form C contact wires are con-
nected via a three terminal connector. See Figure 13.

3.2 Displays and Indicators

All Eaton SPD Series units (Basic, Standard, and Standard With Figure 19. Standard Feature Package Display
Surge Counter) use a display panel to indicate system status.
The display panel is slightly different for each feature package. The Standard Feature Package has the following features:
Each display has both green and red light emitting diodes • All features of the Basic Feature Package.

4.0 Troubleshooting
Many SPD failures result from improper installation. Once the
SPD is installed properly, it is a highly reliable unit.
If the SPD does not function properly, first confirm that it is
installed properly. See Section 2, “Installation.”
If the SPD malfunctions after it has been operating routinely,
refer to Table 3. This Troubleshooting Chart identifies possible
causes and solutions to the malfunction. Further assistance
may be obtained by calling Eaton’s Applications Engineers, at
1-800-809-2772, option 4, sub-option 2, including being directed
to the warranty process if applicable.
