Download Design Guide (PDF) Ideally, every electrical panel should be surge protected. However, this may not be practical or feasible. Proven surge protection practices do not have to be complicated or costly. All you need to do is address the following: 1- Where should hard wired SPDs be installed on the electrical system? 2- What size and type SPD should be used? Surge Protecting a Multi-Family Home Service Entrance Applying surge protection at the incoming electrical service “Stops Surges Before They Get In.” Products External SPD TEXAS30E1 Increased Redundancy TEXAS45E1 External - 10 Mode TEXAL30E1 Increased Redundancy TEXAL45E1 Outside Loads SPDs should be installed at remote workshops or guest houses, or at panels that supply external loads to prevent back feeding surges entering the main building. External SPD TEXDS154X Increased Redundancy TEXAS30E1 External - 10 Mode TEXAL15E1 Increased Redundancy TEXAL30E1 Lower Voltage Panels The standard 120V service may supply control panels connected to equipment operating at lower voltages. These control panels need SPDs to condition residual surges leaving the service entrance SPD as well as any internally generated surges. Examples could be lighting control panels, home theater controls, or any other panel powering sensitive electronics. External SPD TEXCS104X Increased Redundancy TEXDS154X External - 10 Mode TEXAL15E1 Increased Redundancy TEXAL30E1 Individual Equipment Even if surge protection is applied at the previous locations, redundant protection maybe warranted for sensitive, costly equipment. This may include the use of plug-in surge protectors for audio-visual equipment. External SPD S50A Increased Redundancy TEXCS104X Data Lines Security, fire alarm, telephone, and cable systems using copper communications lines need protection especially for incoming cable and telephone services.
