Parallel Connection This is a Parallel connected SPD – not series connected. As outlined previously, an SPD ‘drains off’ excessive voltage from an electrical system. Because of parallel connection, installation of the SPD reasonably near the equipment to be protected is satisfactory. Tip: It is very...
