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.
