Connect the Conduit Mount Type SPD’s green leadwire to the ground terminal inside the protected equipment enclosure to
ground through the enclosure’s outside ground terminal.
If the enclosure does not have an inside ground terminal, connect the green leadwire directly to the outside ground wire
pulled inside the enclosure. Keep the ground wire as short as possible.
