In this video, I'll walk you through the process of wiring and installing a Surge Protection Device (SPD) in a Main Distribution Board. Their job is to clamp down on transient overvoltages and safely divert surge currents to ground, keeping your sensitive devices safe. In this guide, we'll break down how to install a Type. This guide covers how to install a surge protector correctly for every common scenario: single-phase and three-phase Type 2 AC SPDs, Type 1 SPDs at the service entrance, and DC SPDs for solar Photovoltaic (PV) systems — with wiring diagrams, step-by-step procedures, and the conductor sizing and. Locate the SPD as close as possible to the panel to be protected. Drill and punch a hole in the SPD housing in a position to minimize the length of the connecting wires from the lugs of the SPD to the circuit breaker in the adjacent panel (or fused disconnect lugs).
