Siemens Surge Protective Device TPS3 09 - Manual (Page 7)

Maintenance
SPDs require minimal maintenance. Periodic inspection of diagnostic
indicators is recommended to ensure proper operation.
Troubleshooting & Service
Please contact us for any service related issues.
Quality SPDs withstand severe duty and attempt to protect the
load until failure. There are electrical anomalies that SPDs cannot
protect against. These are generally Sustained Overvoltages also
known as Temporary Overvoltages (TOVs). In this context, Sustained
Overvoltages may be only a few cycles. Failed SPDs tend to be
symptoms, not root causes. A failed SPD is usually a sign of other
problems within the electrical distribution system. As a generalization,
the single largest cause of SPD failures is reference to ground issues.
If the SPD shows problems on startup, there is reasonable chance of
bonding/grounding/misapplication issue. This permanently damages
the unit. If not corrected, it will happen again.
