PART 1 GENERAL
1.01 SECTION INCLUDES
A. This section describes the materials and installation requirements for a Surge Protective Device (SPD),
previously referred to as a Transient Voltage Surge Suppressor (TVSS).These devices are used to protect AC
electrical circuits from the effect of lightning induced currents, substation switching transients and internally
generated transients resulting from inductive and or capacitive load switching
