A.C. Voltage Surge Suppressor Model: Spike Guard 2

GENERAL DESCRIPTION: The Spike Guard 2 A.C. Voltage Surge Suppressor is a fast responding, high current handling, solid-state device designed to protect electronic equipment and systems from transient over voltages on 120/240 VAC, single phase, 3-wire services. This suppressor is designed for the highest system exposure per category C2 and IEEE C62.41 1991. The suppressor performs this function by limiting the magnitude of transient over voltages that are present upon the A.C. power lines. Continuous bipolar, bi-directional, non-interrupting protection is provided.

The Spike Guard 2 automatically resets after each suppression function with no degradation of protection capabilities. This suppressor utilizes silicon junction avalanche suppressor diodes (SASD) in a Lattice Matrix configuration as its primary suppression technology with a 300 to 500 Joule energy rating, respectively. The Spike Guard 2 device begins to suppress transient over voltages at approximately 120% of the peak nominal voltage of the A.C. sine wave. At maximum power dissipation the primary suppressor will not exceed the maximum voltage protection level.

The Spike Guard 2 is equipped with isolated, form-C relay contacts (C, NO, NC) that change state to show the suppressor operational status for each suppressor. LED indicators are provided on the face of each suppressor that illuminates to show Power On and Protection operational. They are housed inside a nonmetallic NEMA type 4X rated enclosure. The Spike Guard 2 is designed to attach in parallel with the load requiring protection.

Mechanical: The construction and physical characteristics of the suppressors are as outlined herein.

Enclosure Description: Each suppressor is housed inside a light gray (RAL 7035)
non-metallic NEMA type 4X enclosure rated to UL 50/508 and EN 60529 standards with an Ingress rating of IP 66/IP 67. The overall dimensions are 6”H x 6”W x 4”D
(152mm x 152mm x 102mm). The weight is 2.1lb (.95kg).

Material: The material shall be as specified herein. The material utilized will enable Spike Guard 2 to meet the performance requirements of this specification. Each enclosure is fabricated from a non-metallic, non-toxic, halogen free, injection molded polycarbonate (PC), a high performance plastic. The suppressors are comprised entirely of solid state devices.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS:
   1. Refer to local and national electric codes for PROPER INSTALLATION        requirements.  WARNING! All electrical codes must be followed for installation.
   2. Refer to the installation instructions on page 3 in this document for electrical and        mechanical mounting details.
   3. VERY IMPORTANT: Wire length is FACTORY pre determined (PRECUT), WIRES        can be shortened but not lengthened.
   4. 1ea. 20 amp, two (2) pole circuit breaker, MUST BE FIELD PROVIDED TO        COMPLETE THE INSTALLATION.
   5. THE SURGE SUPPRESSOR UNIT is connected in parallel with the A.C. power        source. The circuit breaker wire terminations must accept #10 wires.
   6. Must be installed by a licensed electrician OR ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR.        FAILURE TO USE A LICENSED PROFESSIONAL MAY VOID YOUR PRODUCT        WARRANTY.
