INSTALLATION
1. TRANQUELL Pro-Stock Series TVSS
are designed to be installed inside GE
Pro-Stock
Series electrical service
panels. These instructions shall be
considered as the general guidelines to
insure that the TVSS is installed safely,
while providing the maximum amount of
surge
protection available. Before
making connections to the unit, verify
that the unit model number, voltage
rating
and ampere ratings are
appropriate for connection to the
intended power source.
2. Although the TVSS is rugged,
reasonable care must be taken to avoid
damage to the unit during handling and
installation.
3. TRANQUELL Pro-Stock Series TVSS
units are suitable for installations on
supplies capable of delivering up to
65,000 symmetrical rms amperes. Refer
to the TVSS nameplate label for this
rating. The TVSS should always be
installed on the protected side of the
main overcurrent protector.
4. Extreme care must be taken to ensure
that power wiring connections are
correct, and that sound neutral and
ground
locations are provided.
Improper connections may result in
higher transient voltages, which could
result in damage to the system and/or to
the equipment being protected. (Refer
to Figure 2 for wire connection
locations.) These locations are also
marked on the TVSS unit.
5. The Pro-Stock Series TVSS comes
factory equipped with a #6 AWG white
neutral conductor (except for delta
configurations). This wire should be
trimmed and connected to the panel
neutral bus using as minimal amount of
length as possible. TVSS wiring
installations should also be such that
sharp bends are avoided. Excessive
wire length, sharp wire angles, and poor
wire connection joints will degrade the
performance of the TVSS significantly.
6. A 3-conductor cable (Figure 3) is
provided to connect remote status
monitoring
equipment. Fast-on
terminals are labeled COM (common),
NO (normally open), and NC (normally
closed). The contacts are dry, 1 Form C
type, rated 125VAC, 2A maximum.
7. When energized the power panel will
now have surge-suppressed and EMI-
filtered power.
POWER MUST BE PROVEN DISCONNECTED BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION,
INSPECTION OR MAINTENANCE! FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE SERIOUS
INJURY, DEATH AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
THIS TVSS DEVICE MUST BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL NATIONAL
AND LOCAL ELECTRICAL CODES. REFER TO THE NAMEPLATE TO VERIFY THAT
THE RATINGS ARE APPROPRIATE FOR THE INSTALLATION.
