Do Not Hi-Pot Test SPDs
Any factory or on-site testing of power distribution equipment that
exceeds normal operating voltage such as high-potential insula-
tion testing, or any other tests where the suppression components
will be subjected to higher voltage than their rated Maximum
Continuous Operating Voltage (MCOV) must be conducted with
the SPD disconnected from the power source. For 4-wire systems,
the neutral connection at the SPD must also be disconnected prior
to performing high-potential testing and then reconnected after
test completion.

The SPD Type category is important to understand before installing
any SPD. Type 1 and 2 SPDs are fully UL Listed devices whereas Type
4 SPDs are UL Recognized devices.
any SPD. Type 1 and 2 SPDs are fully UL Listed devices whereas Type
4 SPDs are UL Recognized devices.
Type 1 – Installed on line or load side of the Main Overcurrent
Protection (OCP), similar to what you knew as SSA, except now includes
rigorous safety testing. Includes all OCP & safety disconnectors inside
the SPD
Type 2 – Installed on load side of the Main OCP, similar to what you
know as hardwired SPD, and it may require external OCP.
Type 3 – Point of Utilization, direct plug in type devices, similar to what
you know as surge strips. Theses devices are intended for installation
10 meters from the panel (rational based on IEEE Cat. A location).
Type 4 – Surge suppression components, could be a basic component
or a complete module. Type 4 components can be tested for Type 1,
Type 2 or Type 3 applications.
