Introduction  

Properly routing cables is crucial for surge protection in industrial and commercial electrical installations. Cables that are poorly routed; cables that are too long; and cables that have unnecessary loops can cause a higher inductive voltage drop, which in turn reduces the effectiveness of the surge protector.

When lightning strikes or when switch surges occur, incorrectly routed cables can subject PLCs, control panels, switchgear and other sensitive electrical equipment to dangerous voltages that will cause malfunctioning, breakdowns, losses and safety hazards.

It is vital for the SPD to have short and straight connections and for cables to be separated from each other so as to increase safety and performance of the system.

Introduction  

SPDs are protective devices for electrical systems from threats due to lightning or other surges. Nevertheless, the length of SPD cables affects how well they perform their job.

A longer cable length increases the inductive voltage fall during surge events and causes the voltage on the equipment to be significantly higher, leading to the possibility of damage to PLCs and other devices and systems. This is associated with downtime and issues related to safety and operations.

Therefore, to attain a good level of safety following the recommendations of IEC 60364-5-53, SPD connections need to be short and directly connected.
