Surge Protection

NQ Main Circuit Breaker Interior with SurgeLoc™ SPD

Square D™ brand SurgeLoc™ Surge Protective Device (SPD) delivers specification grade performance for service entrance or critical branch panel applications. The SurgeLoc™ SPD product utilizes a high-energy suppression circuit that provides 6–10 modes of suppression from 80,000 to 240,000 peak Amps of surge current rating per phase.* These devices feature circuitry that provides not only transient surge suppression, but also noise filtration.

Surge Protection Ratings

NQ SurgeLoc™ Voltage Specifications	Voltage Protection Rating (VPR)
Service Voltage	L–N	L–G	N–G	L–L	MCOV*
120/240 Vac, 1-phase	700	700	600	1000	150
208Y/120 Vac, 3-phase, 4-wire	700	700	600	1000	150
240/120 Vac, 3-phase, high-leg delta	800	800	700	1200	150

Select a 30 A circuit breaker if a SPD Disconnect is desired (2–pole) breaker for single phase interiors, or 3–pole breaker for three phase interiors.

Surge Protection Options

Option	Description
Surge Counter	Displays the combined total number of transient voltage surges detected from L–G, L–L, L–N, and N–G since the counter was last reset.
Remote Monitor	Displays the alarm status of the surge protective device up to 1,000 ft (305 m) away from the unit. This option uses the dry contacts.
