APC SURGEARREST PMF3DS-A - Manual (Page 8)

Prior to mounting the SPD, verify that the device has the same voltage
rating as the power distribution system in which it is installed by comparing
the nameplate voltage or model number on the SPD with the nameplate of
the electrical distribution equipment.
The specifier or user of the device should be familiar with the configuration
and arrangement of the power distribution system in which any SPD is to
be installed. The system configuration of any power distribution system is
based strictly on how the secondary windings of the transformer supplying
the service entrance main or load are configured. This includes whether
or not the transformer windings are referenced to earth via a grounding
conductor. The system configuration is not based on how any specific load
or equipment is connected to a particular power distribution system. See
Table 1 for the service voltage of each SPD.

The use of fusible disconnects requires a fuse with a melting characteristic
greater than the per phase (Clearing) I
2 t of the SPD to prevent nuisance
operation of the disconnect fuses during a surge. (Refer to caution
