NOTES: 1. All electrical panelboards shown are collocated within the shelter, room or equipment area.<br />

2. The SPDs shall be installed per the manufacturer’s installation instructions.<br />

3. All conductors between the SPD <strong>and</strong> the associated disconnecting devices shall be as<br />

short as possible <strong>and</strong> routed together with a minimal number of bends or angles.<br />

4. The SPD disconnecting device in the Utility Panelboard should be installed in the top most space available.<br />

5. Installation of Type 3 SPDs on each critical load is recommended where the level of exposure is high.<br />

6. Installation of Type 3 SPDs on each non-critical load that is located greater than 3 m (10 ft.) of conductor length from the<br />
