• Installation category (also called Overvoltage
Category) specifies the level of mains voltage
surges that the equipment will be subjected to.
The category depends upon the location of the
equipment, and on any surge voltage protection
provided. Equipment in an industrial environment,
directly connected to major feeders/short branch
circuits, is subjected to Installation Category
III. If this is the case, a reduction to Installation
Category II is required. This can be achieved by
use of an insulating transformer with an earthed
screen between primary and secondary windings,
or by fitting UL listed Surge Protective Devices
(SPDs) from live to neutral and from neutral to
earth. Listed SPDs shall be designed for repeated
limiting of transient voltage surges and the
following rated operation conditions: Type 2 (SPDs
permanently connected to the power network and
intended for installation on the load side of the
service equipment); Nominal Discharge Current
(In) 20kA min. For example: FERRAZ SHAWMUT,
STT2240SPG-CN, STT2BL240SPG-CN rated
120Vac/240Vac, (In=20kA). Maximum distance
between installation and reduction is 5m.
• Make connections and tests in the laboratory
before carrying out installation on site.
• For all maintenance interventions, we recommend
you return the product to the laboratory that will
perform all required operations.
• To comply with the main supply voltage dips and
short interruption requirements, use a suitable
Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS) to power the
unit.
