Class 3 Surge Protection Device Installation
- 1). Shut off the main power, by pulling down the handle on the side of the breaker box.
- 2). Identify the circuit you wish to install the surge protector into. This probably will be labeled by the electrician that installed the panel during the home's construction.
- 3). Unscrew the white neutral wire from the neutral bus bar. This bar is identified by locating a series of white neutral wires leading into it.
- 4). Unscrew the ground wire leading to the circuit you wish to protect. Identify the proper ground wire in the same manner as the neutral.
- 5). Loosen the small set screws on the class 3 device. Insert the neutral and ground wires into their labeled respective positions. Tighten the set screws back down to secure.
- 6). Snap the surge protection device into the metal mounting tabs inside the breaker box. Turn the power back on. Examine the surge protector to ensure the green light is activated.
