Installation advice

The following is intended to supplement the guidance given with each product entry in order to give a general overview of installation. This should not be viewed as a substitute for the Installation Instructions supplied with the protector. Copies of these are available on request (CLICK HERE).

Installing parallel connected protectors for mains power supplies
Protectors should be installed very close to the power supply to be protected, either within the distribution panel or directly alongside it (in an enclosure to the required IP rating).
Connections between the protector and the phase(s), neutral and earth of the supply should be kept very short.
Protector performance is enhanced by tightly binding connecting leads together, over their entire length.
On supplies rated over 100 amps the phase/live connecting leads should be fused with suitably rated HRC fuses or switchfuse, MCCB or MCB.
