Page 2: Failure To Follow These Instructions Could Result In Death Or Serious Injury
WARNING - Hazardous Voltage & Shock Hazard Failure to Follow These Instructions Could Result in Death or Serious Injury • Only qualified licensed electricians should install or service SPDs • Hazardous voltages exist within SPDs • SPDs should never be installed or serviced when energized • Use appropriate safety precautions including Personal Protection Equipment • Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, and/or equipment damage • This manual shall be read in entirety prior to installing Bonding and Grounding Hazard Verify that the neutral conductor in the service entrance equipment is bonded to ground in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC®) and all applicable codes. Verify that the neutral terminal (XO) on the secondary side of distribution transformers are grounded to the system ground in accordance with the NEC® and all applicable codes. During installation into an electrical system the SPD must not be energized until the electrical system is completely installed, inspected and tested. All conductors must be connected and functional including the neutral (if required). The voltage rating of the SPD and system must be verified before energizing the SPD. Failure to follow these guidelines can lead to abnormally high voltages at the SPD. This may cause the SPD to fail. The warranty is voided if the SPD is incorrectly installed and/or if the neutral conductor in the service entrance equipment or downstream of separately derived systems is not bonded to ground in accordance with the NEC®. Do Not Hi-Pot Test SPDs Any factory or on-site testing of power distribution equipment that exceeds normal operating voltage such as high-potential insulation testing, or any other tests where the suppression components will be subjected to higher voltage than their rated Maximum Continuous Operating Voltage (MCOV) must be conducted with the SPD disconnected from the power source. For 4-wire systems, the neutral connection at the SPD must also be disconnected prior to performing high-... - Page 3 Introduction Figure 1: SPD Types 2008 NEC Art 285 & UL 1449-3 Thank you for choosing the Siemens TPS3 03 Surge Protective Device (SPD). TPS3 03 is a high quality, high energy surge suppressor designed SPD Types: Types 1, 2, 3, & 4 to protect sensitive equipment from damaging transient overvoltages. Based on Location within electrical distribution system The TPS3 03 is parallel connected such that circuit ampacity is (also coincides with ANSI/IEEE C62.41.2 - 2002 Categories C, B &A) unlimited. Proper installation is important to maximize performance. Please follow steps outlined herein. These instructions are not intended to replace national or local codes. Follow all applicable electrical codes to ensure compliance. WARNING - Hazardous Voltage & Shock Hazard • Only qualified licensed electricians should install or service SPDs •...
- Page 4 Carefully inspect each item in the package for signs of damage. If damage Voltage Rating & Application is found, please contact Siemens Technical Support: 1.888.333.3545. For more information about this product or other Siemens products, Before installing SPD, verify by nameplate voltage or model number visit www.purgethesurge.ca. that it has the same voltage rating as the power distribution system. If unsure, call Siemens Technical Support at 1.888.333.3545 before Figure 2: Dimensions and Weight proceeding. The SPDs specifier or user should be familiar with the configuration and arrangement of the power distribution system. The 4.13” system is defined by how the secondary windings of the transformer Weight: 1.60 lbs supplying the service entrance main or load are configured. This 3.26” 3.26” (0.73 kg) includes whether or not the transformer windings are referenced to earth via a grounding conductor. The system configuration is not based...

(These are smaller than the 10 AWG SPD conductors.) Leads Gray is Common, Red is Normally Open and Blue is Normally Closed. (We generally recommend the Normally Closed configuration because it detects disconnected or failed wiring whereas normally open does not.) If the dry contacts are not utilized, insulate lead ends, coil and secure. Audible alarm will still function correctly. • Normally Closed (suggested): The contact is rated 250V, 5A. Higher energy applications require Blue Use Gray and Blue Grey supplemental relaying. This option monitors suppression element • Normally Open: condition and is not intended for use as phase loss or phase detection Blue...
