Effective February 20182 Eaton www.eaton.comEaton SPD Series for Mounting Externalto Electrical Distribution EquipmentInstruction Manual IM01005031E - Rev. 41.0 Introduction1.1 Manual OrganizationThis Installation Manual describes the safe installation, testingand operation of the Eaton® SPD Series Surge Protective Device(SPD).This manual is organized into seven sections, as follows:1.0 Introduction2.0 Installation3.0 Operating Features4.0 Troubleshooting5.0 Specifications6.0 Ordering Guidelines7.0 Warranty1.2 Product OverviewThe Eaton SPD Series protects critical electrical and electronicequipment from damage by power surges. This is done byshunting high energy lightning surges (and other transient dis-turbances) away from the equipment being protected. It doesthis in nanoseconds by providing a low impedance surge path toground while supporting power frequency voltage.The Eaton SPD Series is designed to mount on the wall (or othervertical surface) as close as possible to the electrical cabinet.The SPD Series is available in voltage ratings from 120-600V AC,surge current capacity ratings from 50kA to 400kA, and NEMA1, NEMA 4 or NEMA 4X enclosures..The Eaton SPD Series is available in three feature pack-ages (Basic, Standard, and Standard with Surge Counter), asdescribed in Section 3, "Operating Features." Each model is avail-able in Delta, Wye, and Split Phase wiring configurations.All Eaton SPD Series models have been tested and certified byUnderwriter’s Laboratory (UL®), to comply with UL Standard1449, 3rd Edition.Eaton’s One-Port low-voltage Surge Protective DeviceDelta Models SPD120480D3M, SPD160480D3M andSPD200480D3M meet the requirements of IEC 61643-11 / EN61643-11, Part 11: Test Class II, and are intended to be installedin applications with a degree of protection rated IP 20.1.3 Safety PrecautionsA licensed/qualified electrician must complete all instructionsin this manual in accordance with the National Electric Code(NEC®), state, and local codes, or other applicable countrycodes. All applicable local electrical codes supersede theseinstructions.WARNINGIMPROPER INSTALLATION COULD CAUSE DEATH, INJURY ANDEQUIPMENT DAMAGE. FOLLOW ALL WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS.COMPLETELY READ AND UNDERSTAND THE INFORMATION IN THISINSTRUCTION MANUAL BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO INSTALL OR OPER-ATE THIS EQUIPMENT.IMPROPER WIRING COULD CAUSE DEATH, INJURY AND/OR EQUIP-MENT DAMAGE. ONLY LICENSED/QUALIFIED ELECTRICIANS WHO ARETRAINED IN THE INSTALLATION AND SERVICE OF ELECTRICAL SER-VICES ARE TO INSTALL AND SERVICE THIS EQUIPMENT.HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES ARE PRESENT INSIDE THE SPD DURINGNORMAL OPERATION. FOLLOW ALL SAFE WORK PRACTICES TO AVOIDELECTRICAL SHOCK.WARNINGARC FLASH DURING INSTALLATION COULD CAUSE INJURY. USEAPPROPRIATE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND EQUIPMENT FOR ARCFLASH PROTECTION.1.4 Catalog Numbering SystemEach Eaton SPD Series unit has a name plate that identifiesthe parameters used for manufacture. These parameters areexpressed in letters and numbers, to reflect the Series, kARating, Voltage Code, Feature Package, and Application asshown in Table 1.Table 1. Catalog Numbering SystemSPD 250 480D 2 KFor example, a 480 volt Delta (3-wire plus Ground) for use in anNEMA 1 application requires an SPD model SPD 250480D2K,where:SPD = SPD model,250 = the kA rating (50 – 400 kA),480D = the voltage,2 = the feature package (Basic, Standard, Standard With SurgeCounter), and,K = the Application Suffix (such as NEMA 1 or NEMA 4 withinternal disconnect).These numbers appear as part of the product label attached tothe front left side of the SPD.
