Can an XDSE SPD be connect to a branch breaker with an existing load?
Issue:
XDSE SPD connection to a branch breaker.
Product Line:
Surge Protection Devices
Environment:
XDSE Surgelogic SPD
Resolution:
"Since the current drawn by the XDSE device during normal operation is negligible, the XDSE device can be connected to a dedicated, separate branch circuit or connected to a suitable existing branch circuit."
page 7, XDSE User Guide 9501 07/2018
It can but they will have to use a breaker that accepts multiple conductors per lug and also has the wire range that complies with the wire range that XDSEs has which is stated on its handout (XDSE Handout), #8 to #10 AWG. This will assure that the wire leads of the SPD device are still protected.
