Florida Light and Power 1999 Study — Sources of Facility Surge
and Overvoltage Events:
•ꢀ ~60% Internally Generated
•ꢀ ~40% Externally Generated
Causes and relevance of transients and surges
•ꢀ
Lightning strikes — Large scale impact, high current and
voltage, but least common occurrence.
•ꢀ
Power switching — Increasing occurrences:
•ꢀ Utility and customer load switching – Motors, large loads,
faults, capacitor banks, fuse and circuit breaker operation*, etc.
•ꢀ Source switching — Smart grid, gensets, photovoltaic power
systems and wind power generation, etc.
* During overcurrent events, both circuit breakers and fuses can produce arc
voltages 2-3 times the system voltage in accordance with the UL standards.
Today’s world is full of electronic products and electrical devices that
are susceptible to damage from overvoltage surges.
Damage caused by transients and surges
Surges caused by static discharge, capacitive and inductive loads or
lightning can quickly destroy sophisticated electronic equipment and
components used in industrial and commercial applications. These
surges cripple operations – particularly the data and communication
systems that virtually every enterprise relies upon today, including
UL® 508A panels with their reliance on control circuits.
•ꢀ
Disruptive – A voltage transient enters an electronic component
and it interprets the transient as a valid logic command, resulting
in system lock-up, malfunction, faulty output or corrupted files.
•ꢀ
Dissipative – Associated with short duration repetitive low energy
level surges, resulting in equipment failure over time including
electronic components, ballasts, motors and controllers, service
entrance equipment, panelboards and switchgear.
Also, the NEC requires a listed SPD to be installed on various
equipment types including elevators on emergency systems [NEC
620.51(E)], critical operations data systems (NEC 645.18), industrial
machinery with safety interlock circuits (NEC 670.6), wind electric
systems [NEC 694.7(D)], fire pump controllers (NEC 695.15),
emergency panelboards and switchboards (NEC 700.8) and critical
operations power systems (NEC 708.20).
•ꢀ
Destructive – Associated with high level energy surges, resulting
in immediate equipment failure including electronic components,
ballasts, motors and controllers, service entrance equipment,
panelboards and switchgear.
We offer a wide selection of Bussmann™ series surge protection
products that help assure power quality by eliminating damaging
surges.

•ꢀ
IEEE Emerald Book and NFPA 780 both recommend using
surge protection as a part of a building’s lightning protection
system. Suppressors at the service entrance only reduce, but not
completely eliminate, the high-energy transient. A second surge
protective device must be applied upstream of critical equipment.
All SPDs should comply with UL 1449 4th Edition or later.

Application Note 3193
Effective March 2019
694.7(D) “A surge protection device shall be installed between
a wind electric system and any loads served by the premises
electrical system.”
NEC surge protection requirements
In recent years, with the proliferation of electronics and devices
sensitive to transient voltage and current surges, the need for
surge protection has become increasingly important, particularly for
equipment and systems used for life safety or where reliability is
highly critical.
Added in 2011, surge
protective devices should
be on the circuit serving the
wind electric system or on the
service disconnect’s loadside.
The NEC recognizes this need and has adopted the following
provisions where surge protection is required.
Regardless of whether surge protection is required or not, it’s
prudent to have surge protection on all circuits as many portable
appliances and communications devices with sensitive electronics
may be powered from circuits where transient overvoltage surge is
an issue.
695.15 “A listed surge protection device shall be installed in or
on the fire pump controller.”
Added in 2017, this NEC
provision requires a listed SPD to
be installed in or on the fire pump
controller to provide protection. A
study commissioned by the Fire
Protection Research Foundation
found that 12% of those surveyed
had surges damaging their fire
pumps.
Below are the major NEC Sections requiring surge protection. On
page two is a selection chart for Bussmann series surge protective
devices (SPD)based upon application.
620.51(E) “Where any of the disconnecting means in 620.51 has
been designated as supplying an emergency system load, surge
protection shall be provided.”
Added in 2017, this section was
added to address emergency
system loads such as elevators,
escalators, moving sidewalks,
chairlifts and associated
700.8 “A listed SPD shall be installed in or on all emergency
systems switchboards and panelboards.”
Added in 2014, this requirement
helps ensure emergency electrical
systems continue powering vital,
life-safety loads in the event of
damaging surges.
equipment.
645.18 “Surge protection shall be provided for Critical
Operations Data Systems.”
708.20 “Surge protection devices shall be provided at all facility
voltage distribution levels.”
Added in 2017, Critical Operation
Data Systems is defined by the
NEC as “Information technology
equipment systems that require

Electrical system connections for SPDs
The following diagrams show the SPD connection points for the
various electrical systems likely to be encountered, along with the
Bussmann series SPD models that may be applied.
The following are the BSPD, BSPA and SurgePOD PRO catalog
numbers, and the electrical systems and voltages to which they
can be applied along with any notes that help in understanding the
context of the application.
Understanding the following points will help ensure that the correct
surge protective device is specified for the electrical system or
equipment.
The examples show circuit breakers as the most typical means of
making connections to the panel phases, although connection with
fusible switches and lug connections are permitted, provided the
terminals are rated for the 10 AWG conductors used by the BSPD,
BSPA and SurgePOD SPDs.
•ꢀ
Typical North American electrical systems include single-phase,
split-phase, Delta and Wye.
•ꢀ
Selecting the wrong SPD generally arises from misunderstanding
Note: UL does not require using overcurrent protective devices
such as circuit breakers or fused switches as the SPD’s thermal
disconnect technology will safely take the SPD offline in the event
of a failure. Use of these devices is for facilitating connection to the
panel buses and installation convenience.
the nominal system voltage, ground and neutral connections.
•ꢀ
General convention has it that a “ground” wire is not counted as
a wire in the system description (e.g., 3 wire, 4 wire, etc.), but it
is counted as a connection point if the selected SPD has a ground
wire.
Contact Bussmann Application Engineering for electrical systems not
covered in this section.
•ꢀ
Selection of a device voltage rating for Wye systems must be
based upon its nominal system voltage rating and not on the leg-
to-leg voltages in the Wye.
•ꢀ
Bonded N-G configurations do not require protection at the
service entrance transformer, but protection is suggested in
downstream bonded N-G systems if the length of conductor
making the bond is greater than 10 feet (3 m)*.

ULType 1, 2, 3 andType 4 component assembly,
and data signal surge protective devices
Installing UL Type 1 and Type 2 SPDs
Installation option A: using feed through lugs
While differences will arise in the installation of different SPD
models on various electrical systems and locations inside an
electrical system, the following are general procedures and
considerations to follow.
7. Determine if the lugs are rated for stranded 10 AWG conductors.
If lugs are not rated for this size conductor, DO NOT install the
SPD unit, or replace lugs with appropriately rated lugs before
proceeding, or install the unit using installation option B.
At the start of this section are diagrams indicating the connection
points for the Type 1 and Type 2 SPDs contained in this guide and
the electrical system to which they can be connected.
8. Route and trim the leads so they reach their connection points
with the least amount of length.
9. Strip the lead ends to lug manufacturer’s specifications, insert
them into the appropriate ports and torque to the specified value
NOTE: DO NOT install more than one lead into the same lug
port.
Installation steps
1. Inspect the electrical panelboard to be sure it is properly grounded
in accordance with prevailing code requirements.
2. Inspect the SPD unit to determine:
Go to step 13.
•ꢀ
It has the correct nominal system and MCOV voltage rating
and is the correct configuration for the installation.
Installation option B: circuit breaker or fused switch
When using a circuit breaker or fused switch, see suggested
ampacities in Table A for the SPD family product being installed.
•ꢀ
It is not damaged; If the unit is damaged or not correct for the
system, do not install it. Secure a proper replacement before
proceeding with the installation.
10. Place in the OFF position and install a new, dedicated common
trip circuit breaker or fusible switch with fuses sized by SPD
family and located as close as possible to where the SPD unit is
mounted.
3. Deenergize panelboard and follow established lockout / tagout
procedures. Remove panelboard cover(s) to gain access to the
interior. Check to make sure the entire panelboard is deenergized
before proceeding.
11. Route and trim the leads so they reach their intended connection
points with the least amount of length.
4. Select a location on the panelboard that accommodates mounting
the SPD and allows the leads to reach their intended connection
points. Be sure the SPD unit can be positioned so that the LED
status indicator(s) is visible. A location that permits the shortest
lead lengths is preferred.
12. Strip the lead end to fit the connection points, insert into the
terminal lugs and torque to the specified value.
Go to step 13.
Finishing the installation
13. Reinstall the panelboard cover(s).
5. Remove a 3/4” knockout or make a 1-1/16” diameter hole where
the SPD is to be mounted.
14. Test the SPD installation by energizing the panelboard and
placing the circuit breaker or fusible switch (requires fuses to be
installed) in the ON position. Verify the LED status indicators are
functioning according to the installed SPD model. If LEDs are
not properly displaying for a correctly installed and functioning
SPD (per model), see the troubleshooting procedures for
possible causes and remedy.
6. Remove the locknut from the unit and insert leads through the
panelboard wall being careful not to damage the conductor
insulation. (For NEMA 4X installations, use appropriate gaskets or
sealing means to retain the NEMA 4X rating on the installation —
see Figure 1.) Reinstall locknut and tighten to specified torque.
NEMA 4X installation requires appropriate
customer-supplied gasket between
the SPD and enclosure wall.

† SPD voltages are measured from Line-to-Neutral, or Line-to-Ground on systems where there is no neutral present. These units do not have a line-to-neutral, so the line-
to-ground voltage is 120 V for the 208 V Wye L-G and 277 V for the 480 V L-G, making the normal voltage applied to the unit less than the MCOV values listed in the
table.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
5. How does an SPD work?
1. Why are surge protective devices needed?
A surge protector works by momentarily “switching” from a high
impedance state into a highly conductive, low impedance state and
shunting the surge energy to the ground and in doing so, limits the
overvoltage to a lower, acceptable level. When the surge event is
over, the protector returns to its high impedance state, ready for the
next event or at end of life, fails open safely until replaced.
Electronic devices and equipment often contain microprocessors
that rely on fast digital ON/OFF coded sequence signals. Distortion
on power or signal lines may disrupt these sensitive signals. As
electronic equipment become smaller and more powerful, they
become more sensitive to power and signal line distortions —
particularly due their circuit density (microchips having literally
thousands of transistors on a single chip). To help safeguard
microprocessor reliability and uptime, surge protective devices have
become the standard technology so that they don’t get “upset,”
“degraded” or “damaged” by surge events, depending on the surge
magnitude, the system configuration and load sensitivity.
In other words, the SPD acts as a pressure relief valve. The pressure
relief valve (SPD) does nothing until an overpressure (voltage surge)
occurs in the supply (power) similar to the pressure relief valve.
6000V Voltage Surge
2. What are surges, transients and temporary overvoltages
(TOVs)?
700V Residual (Let-Through) Voltage
L
All these are various forms of voltage disturbances and they are
often used interchangeably. The true definition of these terms is
related to their defined duration.
SPD
Circuit
Load
Transients as defined by IEEE Standard 1313.1-1996 are “a short-
duration highly damped, oscillatory or non-oscillatory overvoltage,
having duration of a few milliseconds or less. Transient overvoltage is
classified as one of the following types: lightning, switching and very
fast front, short duration.” These can be generated by voltage spikes
which contain very little energy but are sufficient in voltage to cause
damage to sensitive electronics.
Current
Shunt
N/G
6. What is shunting?
Shunting is the term used to describe the process by which an
SPD redirects voltage transient energy to ground through a low
impedance path.
Surge is an overvoltage condition that usually lasts longer in
duration, >10 µs and <1 Ms and has higher energy to them that can
cause damage to electrical and electronic equipment.
7. How do I select and specify an SPD?
When it is determined an SPD is desired or required, specifying an
SPD involves:
Temporary Overvoltage (TOV) are created by faults on the utility
power distribution system and can cause extensive damage since

A surge protector is a device that limits transient overvoltages to
a safe level, thus protecting equipment it is connected to from
damage. A surge protector is generally referred to as an SPD (Surge
Protective Device). There are different variations of SPDs such as
lightning arresters and surge arresters or secondary surge arresters.

4. What is the difference between terms “Surge Arrester,”
“Surge Protective Device (SPD)” and “Transient Voltage
Surge Suppressor (TVSS)”?
All SPDs, whether AC or DC, should be installed by qualified
personnel following established safety procedures. This will help
ensure that all the safety requirements and all local codes are met.
The most common installation is in “parallel” to the load/device.
These terms are often used interchangeably and rather loosely.
However, the two terms have different meanings as determined by
the National Electrical Code® (NEC) (www.nfpa.org), their UL listing,
and applicable IEEE/ANSI standards.
According to NEC Article 285 TVSSs have been redefined as “Surge
Protective Devices (SPDs) 1 kV or Less.” Previously titled “Transient
Voltage Surge Suppressors: TVSSs,” this Article now uses the
“type” designations that parallel the new requirements in UL 1449,
4th Edition. It also includes general, installation, and connection
requirements for these SPD types installed on premises wiring
systems rated 1 kV or less.

9. What are the differences between series vs. parallel SPDs?
11. What technologies are used in making an SPD?
Series installed SPD are typically used at the equipment level, either
right in front of, or within the equipment they are protecting. These
SPD have an “input” and an “output” whereas parallel SPD do not.
A common example of a series connected SPD is a “surge strip.”
Since they are connected in series with the equipment, they conduct
load current. It is also common for a series AC SPD to contain a
EMI/RFI noise filter. This filtering is useful when it is right in front of
the equipment to filter out noise generated by other loads.

Replaceable module SPDs contain one or more field removable/

Metal Oxide Varistor (MOV):
Electrode 1
An MOV is a variable resistor typically made of a large block of zinc
oxide grains. They act like semiconductors, an insulator below the
conduction voltage and a low value resistor above it. In conduction
mode, the MOV diverts and dissipates the transient. MOVs generally
connects in parallel to load. The thickness of the MOV determines
the clamping voltage and Diameter determines the current capacity.

2. Glow domain: At the breakdown, the conductance increases
suddenly. If the current that’s drained off by the gas discharge
tube is less than about 0.5 A (rough value that differs from
component to component), the glow voltage across the
terminals will be in the 80-100 V range.
3. Arc regime: As the current increases, the gas discharge tube
shifts from glow voltage to the arc voltage (20 V). It is this
domain that the gas discharge tube is most effective because
the current discharge can reach several thousand amps without
the arc voltage across the terminals increasing.

15. What standards govern SPDs?
NORTH AMERICA — ANSI / UL 1449 4th Edition
Ideally, an SPD should be installed at the main service entrance as
close to the neutral-to-ground bond as possible, as shown below.
This will ensure that surge energies are routed to earth by the most
direct path. In larger facilities where distances between this primary
protection and the equipment being protected are long, it is also
good practice to use distributed protection all the way to point-of-
use.

test and validate the results.
14. What is distributed (cascaded) surge protection?
Distributed protection, cascaded protection or coordination is the
process of coordinating protection between the primary service
entrance of a large facility and the internal branch distribution panels.
Generally a surge protective device (SPD) with high surge handling
capacity is installed at the service entrance while SPDs of lower
surge ratings will be installed on the branch panels or dedicated
supplies feeding sensitive equipment. This approach can be taken
further to include point-of-use SPDs on long lines where they
terminate to sensitive or critical equipment. A further example of
such a distributed protection philosophy might include hard wired
SPDs at the main and sub-panels and additional plug-in protectors
on select equipment. (See pages 5 for SPD Types and installation
locations.)

17. What is UL 1449?
22. How long does an SPD last?
UL 1449 is the safety standard for AC surge protective devices
(SPD) used on systems with voltages of 600 Vac and less. This
standard addresses SPDs that are installed on the loadside of the
main disconnect. A UL 1449 Listed or Recognized surge protector
has been thoroughly tested for safe operations. A Voltage Protection
Rating (VPR) is assigned to a UL 1449 Listed SPD as a result of these
tests to help users compare SPDs. UL 1449 4th Edition went into
effect in September, 2009, making all previous 2nd Edition SPDs
obsolete. Any older SPDs should be inspected and may be replaced
to meet the new safety standard prescribed by NEC Articles 280 and
285, which call for SPD Type products certified to the UL 1449 4th
Edition.
How long an MOV-based SPD lasts depends upon how often it
experiences a surge and for how long. Every time an MOV becomes
conductive to shunt the surge to ground, its life is slightly degraded.
The greater the surge, the greater the degradation of the MOV. One
hit of 20 kA may degrade the MOVs life just as much as 15 hits
at 0.2 kA. So, based upon the size and duration of surges an SPD
encounters, it may last a day suppressing a large surge, or years
suppressing smaller surges.

protector locations such as branch panel and local panel protection
usually do not require such a formidable protector. NEMA LS 1
was rescinded in 2009 because the document was determined to
be out of date and many industry standards related to the surge
environment and surge suppression had been significantly updated
since the original LS 1 standard was published in 1992.

24. Can a BSPD, BSPA and SurgePOD PRO insulated conductor
be permanently identified for equipment grounding at each end
using color tape?
No, the NEC only permits changing identification on 6 AWG and
larger conductors. The BSPD, BSPA and SurgePOD PRO conductors
are 10 AWG and too small. Details are contained in section 250.119
Identification of Equipment Grounding Conductors.
19. I have a photovoltaic (PV) system with net metering;
does it need a surge protection system?
Yes. For PV systems, DC surge protection should be installed
where the DC voltage from the PV arrays terminates at the charge
controller/inverter. AC protection should be installed at the inverter’s
AC output to protect it from transients on the utility power lines. This
can be caused by lightning or utility switching transients. In certain
cases, protection should be located at the PV array locations, and at
the array’s local DC control circuits — where applicable. See PV SPD
data sheets and installation instructions for more application details.
For details on PV SPDs and the entire line of SPD products from
Bussmann, visit Eaton.com/bussmannseries.
NEC 250.119 (A) contains these specific words: “An insulated or
covered conductor larger than 6 AWG shall be permitted, at the
time of installation, to be permanently identified as an equipment
grounding conductor at each end and at every point where the
conductor is accessible.”
25. Why are there requirements for installing someType 1 or
Type 2 SPDs not more than 10 feet from a bonded neutral-
ground connection or greater than 10 feet from the bonded
neutral-ground connection?
These requirements reflect a best practice for SPD wiring, as
opposed to any code requirements. When an SPD is located within
10 feet (3 m) of the main service panel, the system can make use of
the neutral line as an effective ground, due to the close proximity to
the service entrance grounding conductor.
20. Why is the lead (wire) length of an AC SPD so critical?
The shorter the lead length between the protector and your panel,
the lower the let-through voltages will be to your equipment. This is
crucial to the effectiveness of all parallel-connected surge protectors.
SPDs are typically connected in parallel with the load. This means
that the protector does not carry load current. But more importantly,
it means that the SPD must efficiently divert transient currents
through it during an overvoltage event. The SPD must momentarily
“look” like an electrical short-circuit in order to efficiently divert large
amounts of current. The longer the wire, the more inductance it
has, and the greater the (L x d/dt) factor will be. So when installing
parallel surge protectors, keepi the leads as close to, but not less
than, six inches as possible for best performance.
For distances greater than 10 feet (3 m), it is a best practice to
select an SPD that has neutral-to-ground protection. This helps
ensure a proper grounding is available for an SPD, which is critical to
effectively protect the electrical system.
26. Where can I find the agency information for these SPDs?
To see the complete UL and CSA and other agency certificates go
online to Eaton.com/bussmannseries. Then go to the web page of
the desired product and click on the certificate links available.
21. What are the different designations for ratings between
UL 1449 and IEC 61643-1?
27. Why should I install data signal SPDs in addition to
power SPDs?
The rating designations used in UL and IEC are in the table below.
The need for surge suppression in general is driven by the increased
use of sensitive electronic equipment that can be impaired or
destroyed by surges on power circuits. And much of the electronic
equipment used today is also connected via coaxial cable, twisted
pair or Ethernet cables. Using data signal SPDs in addition to power
SPDs helps assure the entire data or video system is protected from
surges, regardless of the source.

NEC Article 240.21 SPD installation using FeederTap Rule
Installing surge protective devices in accordance
with NEC Article 240 and Feeder Tap Rule
Article 240.21(B)(1), (known as the 10 ft. Feeder Tap Rule), allows an
SPD to be installed without overcurrent protection at the point of
connection. The size of the conductors to the SPD are permitted to
be sized based on the manufacturer instructions per the exception to
NEC 240.21(B)(1)(1)(b). However, if the conductors to the SPD leave
the enclosure, they must be protected by an OCPD not sized greater
than the 10 times the ampacity of the conductors. For instance, if
the conductor ampacity is 30 A, then an upstream OCPD of 300 A or
less must be present.
Introduction
A common question heard by technical support is “What size fuse
or breaker do I need when installing an SPD?” Discussed here is the
need for installing an overcurrent protection device (OCPD) with a
surge protective device (SPD), along with adhering to the applicable
NFPA® 70 standards, National Electrical Code (NEC) rules, Authority
Having Jurisdiction (AHJ), ANSI/UL 1449 ratings, and installation
practices.
Summary
When installing SPDs, NEC, local electrical codes and UL
requirements must be followed. The proper OCPD must be used
upon installation in order to meet the NEC requirements and
maintain the SPD’s ANSI/UL 1449 Listing. In many instances,
the reason the NEC dictates external overcurrent protection is to
protect the conductors, not the SPD. SPDs containing an internal
OCPD can be connected directly to the electrical bus only if the
installation meets all requirements contained NEC Article 240.21(B)
(1), the Feeder Tap Rule, the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ), or
by strictly following the manufacturer’s installations instructions on
OCPD recommendations
SPD design capabilities
Many SPDs employ thermally protected metal oxide varistors (MOV)
that detect a transient high voltage surge and quickly shunt that
surge to ground. Because the MOV cannot distinguish between
transient and sustained overvoltage events, it must have a way to
remove itself from the system during the overvoltage event. This
keeps the SPD from entering into a thermal runaway situation that
can cause internal and external damage.
The thermally protected MOVs have internal components that
disconnect the MOV from the system during sustained overvoltage
and overcurrent occurrences. This is accomplished by the MOV’s
temperature rising to a critical value that initiates a mechanical
separation from the SPD’s conducting components. Because
the SPD itself is internally protected, it does not require external
overcurrent protection in the form of a fuse or circuit breaker.
Other SPD types exist that don’t have component level protection
on the MOVs or are built with a different components such as silicon
avalanche diodes (SAD). SPDs that are built with these component
components typically require external overcurrent protection
because they can’t take themselves offline during an overcurrent
event. If an OCPD is required for the SPD’s operation, this will be
indicated in the device’s UL listing and manufacturers will clearly
state this requirement in their installation instructions.
NEC Article 240.4 (overcurrent protection) protection of
conductors
Whether the SPD requires an OCPD or not, the installation methods
must meet all applicable electrical codes. NEC Article 240.4 states
all conductors (other than flexible cords, flexible cables, and fixture
wires) shall be protected with an OCPD in accordance with their
ampacity specified in Article 301.15, unless otherwise permitted or
required in Article 240.4(A) through (G). This applies to conductors
extending beyond the switchboard, switchgear, or panelboard that
are used to connect an SPD to the electrical system. Connecting an
externally or side mounted SPD directly to a system bus where the
conductors leave the enclosure must consider the requirements of
NEC 240.21(B)(1). These requirements may require an adequately
sized OCPD to be provided for protection of the SPD conductors.
Acceptable OCPDs are listed fuses and circuit breakers.
NEC Article 310.15 (conductors for general wiring)
ampacities for conductors rated 0—2000 V
Article 310.15(B)(16) defines the conductor ampacity that drives the
maximum OCPD rating to be used to protect the conductors (OCPD
rating is based on the conductor’s ampacity). E.g., 60°C 10 AWG
conductors will require a 30 amp OCPD.

Eaton.com/bussmannseries
ULType 1, 2, 3 andType 4 component assembly,
and data signal surge protective devices
Application Note 3193
Effective March 2019
2. The tap conductors’ ampacity must not be less than the
ANSI/UL 1449 short-circuit current rating and
NEC Article 285.6
OCPD rating at the tap conductors’ termination, e.g., the SPD
connecting lead ampacity cannot be less than the internal
OCPD’s rating. At a minimum, 10 AWG conductors would be
used to connect an SPD containing an internal 30 amp OCPD.
Using 12 AWG conductors (ampacity = 20 A) would be a code
violation and could not be used to connect an SPD containing an
internal 30 amp OCPD.
SPDs must comply with the current edition of ANSI/UL 1449
Standards for Safety Surge Protective Devices. The SPDs short-
circuit current rating (SCCR) is determined as part of the ANSI/UL
1449 testing, and defines the SPD’s suitability for use on an AC
power circuit that’s capable of delivering not more than a declared
RMS symmetrical current during a short-circuit. This specification
defines the maximum available fault current to which an SPD can be
safely connected.
However, a code exception permits tap conductors for specific
listed devices, such as SPDs to be sized in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions.
Article 285.7 requires that an SPD be marked with its SCCR and that
it shall not be installed at a point on the system where the available
fault current is greater than the SPD’s SCCR. E.g., an SPD marked
50 kA SCCR shall not be installed at a point in a system with 65 kA
available fault current.
Exception to #2: “Where a Listed SPD is provided with
specific instructions on minimum conductor sizing, the
ampacity of the tap conductors supplying that SPD shall be
permitted to be determined based on the manufacturer’s
instructions.”
3. For field installations, if the tap conductors exit the enclosure
where the tap is made, the OCPD rating on the tap conductor’s
lineside must not exceed 10 times the tap conductor’s ampacity.
For example, the upstream OCPD from where the SPD is
tapped from cannot be rated at more than 10 times the SPD’s
conductors’ ampacity. Therefore, if the conductor ampacity to the
SPD is 30 A, then an upstream OCPD of 300 A or less must be
present.
ANSI/UL 1449 testing with and without an OCPD
The NEC may require and externally mounted SPD to be protected
by an OCPD if the feeder tap rule limitation is not met. Some
manufacturers may choose using an OCPD to obtain their SDP’s
SCCR or successfully pass the withstand test. For the SPDs
requiring an OCPD, the installer must match the OCPD type and
rating (fuses or breaker) that was used for their UL testing. E.g., if
a fuse was used for UL testing, the same fuse type (fuse class),
and voltage and amp ratings must be installed in the distribution
equipment when installing an externally mounted SPD. Further, for
the SPD to retain its UL Listing, the OCPD must be utilized in the
installation.
Summary
NEC and UL requirements must be followed when installing
SPDs. The proper OCPD must be used in order to meet the NEC
requirements and maintain the SPD’s ANSI/UL 1449 Listing.
Conversely, some manufacturers may not use an OCPD to obtain
their UL 1449 Listing. When installing these units, UL 1449 may
not require using an OCPD, but the NEC may require an OCPD if
the feeder tap rule limitation is not met. Some installers assume
and some manufacturers incorrectly promote that such externally
mounted units can be connected directly to an electrical bus
without overcurrent protection. This practice may be incorrect and
violate the requirements of Article 240 of the NEC. The conductors
of these units must be protected with an OCPD that is properly
rated according to NEC Article 310.15 or meet the feeder tap rules
of 240.21(B)(1). The fact that an SPD does not require a particular
OCPD to pass the UL 1449 testing does not negate the need for
overcurrent protection for installation.
If an external OCPD was not used during UL testing, the size and
type will not be listed on the manufacturer’s product label. Under
this condition, it’s the installer’s responsibility to ensure that the
SPD’s conductors are protected with a suitable OCPD per the NEC
and the local AHJ.
If the SPD was submitted for ANSI/UL 1449 testing with an external
OCPD, the size and type required for installation will be listed in
the manufacturer’s installation instructions and must be installed
accordingly.
SPDs containing an internal OCPD can be connected directly to
the electrical bus only if the installation meets all the requirements
defined in NEC Article 240.12(B)(1), the Feeder Tap Rule, or by
strictly following the manufacturer’s installations instructions and
OCPD recommendations.
SPDs containing an internal OCPD and the FeederTap Rule
There are SPDs that contain an internal OCPD such as a fuse or
circuit breaker. A common misconception is that because the
SPD’s OCPD is internally wired, an externally mounted unit can
always be connected directly to the electrical bus without additional
overcurrent protection. Failure to protect the conductors connecting
the SPD to the system bus directly violates NEC and could lead to
safety and liability concerns.
However, there are certain conditions or exceptions that allow
installing an externally mounted SPD without an OCPD within the
power distribution equipment at its connection point. These are
outlined in NEC Article 240.21(B)(1) known as the 10 ft. Feeder Tap
Rule.
In order to apply the Feeder Tap Rule to installing an SPD with an
internal OCPD, all of the following conditions must be met:
1. The length of the tap conductors must not exceed 10 ft., e.g.,
the SPDs connecting leads cannot be greater than 10 ft.. (Rules
also exist for taps that exceed 10 ft., but discussing them
would be impractical for an SPD installation application.) For
best performance, SPD connecting leads should be as short as
possible (much less than 10 ft. whenever practical) and avoid
sharp bends.

Iimp — impulse current rating (10/350 wave current impulse)
This rating is used for the classification of the SPD for test Class
I Lightning Arresters per IEC 61643-1 Standard for surges with a
virtual front time of 10 µs and a time to half-value of 350 µs. Defined
by three parameters, a current peak value (I ), a charge Q and a
specific energy. Note: This is used for the clpaesaksification of the SPD
for test Class I SPDs under IEC 61643-1 Standard. UL DOES NOT
have this rating.
SCCR (Isc)- Short-Circuit Current Rating
The suitability of an SPD for use on an AC power circuit that is
capable of delivering not more than a declared rms symmetrical
current at a declared voltage during a short-circuit condition.
SPD — Surge Protective Device
Imax — surge current capacity
A surge protector is a device that limits transient overvoltages to
a safe level, thus protecting equipment it is connected to from
damage. A surge protector may also be expressed using the term
SPD (Surge Protective Device).
Crest value of a current through the SPD having an 8/20 µs wave
shape and magnitude; Imax is the voltage and current development
must not show any marks of disruptive obvious damage or
aberration from the temperature stability; records of greater than I ;
arrester must safely discharge this current without an discharge orn
spark over. An SPD can withstand a single shot of surge current. In
UL markets, this is a self certification rating.
There are different variations of SPD such as lightning arresters and
surge arresters or secondary surge arresters.
Surge arrester
An SPD that has an In rating based on IEC 61643-1 or UL 1449
4th Edition. These products can be either DIN-Rail Style SPD in an
assembly or NEMA Style SPDs (BSPD, BSPA and SurgePOD PRO).
Typically in North American markets, surge arrestors are installed at
the service entrance to handle large external surges, with additional
surge arrestors (SPDs) installed throughout the electrical system
down to individual equipment panels.
In — nominal discharge current (8/20 wave current impulse)
This rating has a current impulse with a virtual front time of 8 µs and
a time to half-value of 20 µs as defined by UL 1449 4th Edition and
IEC 61643-1 Standards. Peak value of the current, selected by the
manufacturer, through the SPD having a current wave shape of 8/20
µs where the SPD remains functional after 15 surges.
Lightning arrester
Surge current
An SPD that has an Iimp rating based on IEC 61643-1 Standard. These
products are typically DIN-Rail style SPDs.
Normal operation — current through MOV/SPD while conducting a
surge – tends to be momentary.
MCOV/Vc/Uc — Maximum Continuous Operating Voltage
Thermal disconnect
The maximum designated root mean-square (rms) value of the
power frequency voltage that may be continuously applied to the
mode of protection of an SPD. This is also the maximum voltage a
system will see under the variance of normal operation and is the
voltage at which an SPD starts to conduct and suppress a surge
event.
A means of disconnecting the SPD from the circuit upon reaching
a predetermined temperature caused by conducting a surge to
ground. This protects the MOV from going into a thermal runaway
condition on commonly misapplied voltages or when an end-of-life
condition is reached.
Thermal runaway
MOV — Metal Oxide Varistor
Operational condition when the sustained power dissipation of an
SPD exceeds the thermal dissipation capability of the housing and
connections, leading to a cumulative increase in the temperature of
the internal elements culminating in failure.
MOV is a ceramic mass of zinc oxide grains, in a matrix of other
metal oxides (such as small amounts of bismuth, cobalt, manganese)
sandwiched between two metal plates (the electrodes).
TOV —Temporary Overvoltage
Temporary Overvoltages (TOVs) are created by faults on the utility
power distribution system and can cause extensive damage since
their time domain is much longer (ms to seconds to hours).

UL SPDTypes — Per 1449 4th Edition
Type 1 — One port, permanently connected SPDs, except for watt-
hour meter socket enclosures, intended for installation between the
secondary of the service transformer and the line side of the service
equipment overcurrent device, as well as the load side, including
watt-hour meter socket enclosures and Molded Case SPDs intended
to be installed without an external overcurrent protective device.
Type 1 SPDs for use in PV systems can be connected between the
PV array and the main service disconnect.
DIN-Rail SPDs are open Type 1.
Type 2 — Permanently connected SPDs intended for installation on
the load side of the service equipment overcurrent device; including
SPDs located at the branch panel and Molded Case SPDs.
Type 3 — Point of utilization SPDs, installed at a minimum conductor
length of 10 meters (30 feet) from the electrical service panel to
the point of utilization, for example cord connected, direct plug-in,
receptacle type and SPDs installed at the utilization equipment being
protected. See marking in 80.3. The distance (10 meters) is exclusive
of conductors provided with or used to attach SPDs.
Note: Type 2 and 3 SPDs were previously known as TVSSs.
Type 4 Component Assemblies — Component assembly consisting
of one or more Type 5 components together with a disconnect
(integral or external) or a means of complying with the limited
current tests in 44.4.
Type 1, 2, 3 Component Assemblies — Consists of a Type 4
component assembly with internal or external short circuit
protection.
Type 5 — Discrete component surge suppressors, such as MOVs
that may be mounted on a PWB, connected by its leads or provided
within an enclosure with mounting means and wiring terminations.
Vo/Un — nominal system voltage
A nominal value assigned to designate a system of a given voltage
class in accordance with ANSI C84.1. Typical voltages include 120,
208, 240, 277, 347, 480, 600 Vac.
VPR — Voltage Protection Rating
A rating selected from a list of preferred values as given in Table 63.1
of UL 1449 4th Edition and assigned to each mode of protection. The
value of VPR is determined as the nearest highest value taken from
Table 63.1 to the measured limiting voltage determined during the
surge test using the combination wave generator at a setting of 6 kV,
3 kA. It is also known as “let-through voltage.”
