This installation manual describes the safe installation, testing and operation of the Eaton
®
SPD Series Surge
Protective Device (SPD).

The Eaton SPD Series protects critical electrical and electronic equipment from damage by power surges. This
is done by shunting high energy lightning surges (and other transient disturbances) away from the equipment
being protected. It does this in nanoseconds by providing a low impedance surge path to ground while
supporting power frequency voltage.
The Eaton SPD Series is designed to mount on the wall (or other vertical surface) as close as possible to the
electrical cabinet. The SPD Series is available in voltage ratings from 120-600V AC, surge current capacity
ratings from 50kA to 400kA, and NEMA 1, NEMA 4 or NEMA 4X enclosures.
The Eaton SPD Series is available in four feature packages (Basic, Standard, Standard with Surge Counter, and
Power Xpert SPD) as described in Chapter 3 Operating Features. Each model is available in delta, wye, single
phase and split phase wiring configurations.
All Eaton SPD Series models have been tested and certified by Underwriter’s Laboratory (UL
®
), to comply with
UL Standard 1449, 4th Edition.
Eaton’s one-port low-voltage surge protective device delta models SSPPDD112200448800DD33MM, SSPPDD116600448800DD33MM and
SSPPDD220000448800DD33MM meet the requirements of IEC 61643-11 / EN 61643-11, Part 11: Test Class II, and are
intended to be installed in applications with a degree of protection rated IP 20.

• Always verify that no voltage is present before proceeding with the task and always follow all safety
procedures.
• Shock hazard – do not open. No serviceable parts
• Arc flash during installation could cause injury or death. Use appropriate safety precautions, PPE and
equipment for arc flash protection.
• Installing a protection device which is under rated for the electrical system voltage can create a potentially
hazardous condition
• Hazardous voltages are present Inside the SPD during normal operation. Follow all safe work practices to
avoid electrical shock.
