Connect wiring refer to connection diagrams If using stranded cable always use wire ferrules for lowest resistance and to prevent damage to the wire Keep termination length as short as possible Do not wire in extra loops or cable length e Use a Suitably rated cable for alarm connections Cable should be rated for operation at the system voltage and should be 0 5mm to 1 5mm 4 NOTES e 125A fuses are rated such for maximum surge rating On services below 125A fit a fuse lower in value to the service size e Wiring from fuse to SPD is carrying surge currents only not load current This means that smaller cables may be used than is normal for the current rating e f using under sized cables some energy authorities require double insulation i e sleeving of the cables e Unplug the alarm connector for termination e Do not Megger test cabling with unit connected unit may be damaged EARTHING For proper operation all surge diverters rely upon a good earth connection e The main earth wire from earth link on switchboard to ground rod or system MUST be as short and direct as possible Extra cable must not be looped e Earth connections from the unit to earth link MUST be as short as possible Specification are subject to change without notice Copyright 2009 Eaton Industries Pty Ltd Technical Specification PVD40 600 V C Tvss Doc 510093 Page 2 of 2
