PXL Series Installation and Operation Manual Section 1 Introduction The PXL series of Surge Protective Devices (referred to as PXL from this point forward) offer surge protection and filtering to provide clean power for sensitive electronic loads. The PXL units shunt high energy induced lightning surges, as well as other formats of transient disturbances.
PXL Series Installation and Operation Manual Instruction Manual Page 4 Effective: January 2006 The unit is provided with 8 knockout holes - 3 on each side and 2 on the bottom. Remove the knockout closest to the intended lead-out form the panelboard. Install metal conduit (rigid or flexible) between the unit and the electrical panel. Run wiring from the panelboard to the PXL terminals, which are labeled Phases A, B, C, Neutral and Ground (see Table1 recommended wire size). 2.

Instruction Manual Page 8 Effective: January 2006 PXL Series Installation and Operation Manual 4.3 Common Causes of SPD Problems SPDs are applied to electrical systems to mitigate surges, transients, impulse or spikes. By definition, surges are random high magnitude short-term voltage disturbances. These high impulses can cause havoc to electronic devices if no protection is applied. See Figure 7 - Voltage Transient. This image represents a transient voltage surge on the 60 Hz AC sine wave.
