Figure 7: Installation in a MCC
The following instructions are for the replacement of Siemens TPS3
SPD module in a TIASTAR MCC.
This  unit  is  intended  for  custom  factory  installation  during  MCC
manufacture.  Unit  must  be  removed  from  the  MCC  or  withdrawn
to  the  TEST  position.  Familiarize  with  the  TPS  and  MCC  mounting
hardware-mount in gear such that the leads are as short and straight
as possible without distorting the stab assembly. Failure to do so will
result in decreased performance.
Diagnostic  Display  Connected  via  Ribbon  Cable  –  to  be  mounted
in a suitable location such that the display is visible to user and/or
protected via an access door.
A successful installation includes:
Meets all national and local codes
Mount TPS as close as possible to electrical connection
Ensure leads are as short and straight as possible
Gently twist or tie-wrap conductors together wherever possible
Ensure that N-G bonding hazard warning label is attached to TPS
as reminder to installing contractor.
Ensure all power is off and unit is deenergized.
Verify that TPS and intended voltage are correct.
Install  #6  conductor  leads  to  phase,  neutral  and  ground
connections.
Mount Diagnostic Display at appropriate location
Connect ribbon cables from Diagnostic Display to circuit board on
Main TPS Backplane Assembly.
Connect to the Dry Contact terminal block if appropriate
Before bench testing –
Ensure test voltage is appropriate and grounded Wye system
– Failure to ensure reference to ground will fail unit.
Ensure unit is touch safe and that all appropriate enclosures are
secure
Do not Hi-Pot test SPDs
Do not bench test using ungrounded system – must be grounded
Wye system
Confirm that all LEDs are green and that touchpads on display operate
correctly.
