Advanced Protection 1SSA - Manual

Secondary Surge Arrester for Home, Apartment, Farm and Equipment
NOTICE:
Advanced Protection Technologies, Inc. (APT) recommends that a licensed electrician install the
TE/1SSA and TE/4SSA Series of Secondary Surge Arresters. Unqualified personnel could install the arrester
incorrectly, making it inoperative, ineffective, or hazardous. Such persons are in danger while working with high
voltages without sufficient experience to prevent injuries to themselves and others from electrical shock.
DESCRIPTION:
The APT Secondary Surge Arresters are MOV (Metal Oxide Varistor) based, hardwired devices, often referred to as
Lightning Arresters. These devices are designed to protect electrical equipment from damaging effects of voltage
transients induced by lightning, or caused by utility switching, insulation arcing, electrical motor cycling, or other
large or sudden changes in the electrical power flow on incoming AC lines.
For complete protection APT recommends that the ground circuit is solidly grounded
to water pipes, adjacent ground rods, lightning rods, etc.
The arresters utilize a single MOV per pole to reduce potential load balancing/sharing problems of paralleled MOV
devices during operation. APT recommends the use of additional surge protection devices such as plug-in strips,
or the disconnection of particularly sensitive electronic equipment during electrical storms.
Advanced Proteciton Technologies, Inc. arresters are neither designed nor intended for use as
protection against a direct lightning strike to a facility or piece of equipment.
The TE/1SSA and TE/4SSA Series of lightning arresters are epoxy encapsulated devices designed to be easily
installed in any physical position indoors or outdoors utilizing the integral 1/2" threaded nipple and supplied metal
lock nut. The arrester has 18" long, 12 AWG multi-stranded leads that are color coded for ease of installation.
The TE/1SSA and TE/4SSA Series are UL listed as OWHX devices and comply with the current edition of ANSI/
IEEE C62.11 testing.
