15 is approaching breakdown.
The CVX050/100 is easy
15 to install adjacent or even
internal to electrical
15 equipment. When installing an
SPD in a retrofit environment,
it is important to mount the
15 device as close to the
electrical equipment as
15 possible. Keep the wiring (lead
length) between the electrical
15 equipment and SPD as short
as possible, and twist or wire
15 tie the conductors together
to reduce the wire’s
impedance factor.
