1.0 INTRODUCTION AND INSTALLATION
1.1 Introduction
Always“On UPS Systems “ESE” (TVSS) filter is designed to protect your equipment
against external and internally produced surges, impulses, interference associated with low
frequency harmonics and lighting induced spikes. The User Manual should be read
entirely before the installation begins.
1.2 Inspection
Carefully inspect the ESE filter for any marks or damage prior to installation. If visible
damage is evident, do not attempt to install the TVSS. Immediately contact the delivery
company of the damage and inform Always“On directly. The TVSS filter should only be
installed by a Qualified Electrician.
1.3 Location
To obtain maximum performance and life span of your TVSS filter, always keep in mind
the following:
 The operating temperature of the TVSS is –40˚C to +40˚C, at an operating humidity
of 0-97% (non-condensing)
 The ESE filter comes in a NEMA 12 container, which is intended for indoor use
and protects against dust, falling dirt and dripping non-corrosive liquids
 The ESE filter should be installed as close to the panel as possible to minimize lead
length
 Inadequate grounding will severely decrease the effectiveness and life span of your
TVSS filter. Use an insulated grounding conductor whenever possible. Grounding
system must meet your country’s Electrical Codes.
 Make sure that all circuits are de-energized prior to installation.

1.4 Wiring for Single Phase Applications
Follow steps listed below for proper installation (Refer to Figure 1.4.1):
1) Ensure that line voltage does not exceed filter’s specified voltage.
2) Connect the ESE to L1 and L2 of the panel buss.
3) Neutral (N) and Ground (G) are always connected to panel Neutral and Ground
Bus.
4) Normally wires are connected across a 2-pole breaker (15A). If breaker(s) are
not available connection to the incoming power buss is acceptable as the ESE’s
are supplied with internal 20 amp fuses.
5) Ensure all connections are secure.
6) A minimum of 10AWG wire is recommended to connect the ESE to the power
buss.
7) Make sure the ESE is securely mounted.

1) Ensure that line voltage does not exceed filter’s specified voltage.
2) Connect the ESE to L1, L2 and L3 of the panel buss.
3) Neutral (N) and Ground (G) are always connected to panel Neutral and Ground
Bus.
4) Normally wires are connected across a 3-pole breaker (30A) or three (3) single
pole breakers (30A). If breaker(s) are not available connection to the incoming
power buss is acceptable as the ESE’s are supplied with internal 20 amp fuses.
5) Ensure all connections are secure.
6) A minimum of 10AWG wire is recommended to connect the ESE to the power
buss.
7) Make sure the ESE is securely mounted.

2.2 Features
Status indicators (LED’s) for each phase are located on the front panel to alert the user of a
potential failure within the protection device, open fuse, or loss of one or more phases due
to an upstream error. An error could leave the system unprotected, so immediate action is
necessary. Each ESE is equipped with removable fuses per phase. This eliminates
dedicated and costly 3 phase panel breakers.

2.3 LED Operation
The LED indicators are positioned on the front of the panel (2 per phase) for easy
reference.
 GREEN LED's - Normal Operation
 RED LED's - Fault Condition. Loss of protection for that phase.
 LED's not lit - loss of power or LED failure.
The illuminated GREEN LED's indicate normal operation of the “ESE” filter.
In the event that the GREEN LED is not lit, a failure in the utility has occurred, an internal
fault has occurred (the RED LED is illuminated) or the LED itself has failed.
To determine which, push the Fault Test Button.
Fault Test Button Operation
The Fault Test Button will activate the Diagnostic package, which will attempt to
illuminate all the LED's and activate the alarms to test for a failure condition.

3.0 THEORY OF OPERATION
The “ESE” is designed as a TVSS (Transient Voltage Surge Suppressor) for low voltage
distribution equipment of 600V or less, and is configured to connect directly to the main
service entrance panel or downstream sub-panels as a primary or secondary form of
protection, as used in one or two stage systems.
Parallel hybrid circuitry incorporates both voltage and frequency dependant components
which protect against all high amplitude impulses, low level transients and broadband
noise. The hybrid filter is designed to accurately track and filter all angles of each
waveform throughout the entire three-phase rotation. This process ensures let-through
voltages are minimized while ring wave and electrical noise attenuation is maximized.
All modes of protection are incorporated into every model of ESE as standard features.
These include; L-N, L-G, N-G as well as L-L. This allows for a total of ten modes in a Wye
system, and six modes in a Delta system, thus maximizing suppression and filtering
capacity and characteristics.
The use of separate fuses, common for each phase within the module, allows for the surge
suppression and filter components to more accurately share the dissipation of the
7
transients’ energy. The fuses also provide short circuit protection for each individual phase
should a fault occur, while allowing remaining phases to stay online and protected.
The Surge Counter option allows the number of potentially damaging transients and surges
to be totaled on an ongoing basis. Each phase is individually sampled within the hybrid
filter allowing the counter to increment should an event occur to one, or all phases of the
system. By continually monitoring the normal static current for each filter, an increase in
current over time due to an impulse can be detected, and if outside of the acceptable range
will be attenuated by the filter and will increase the surge counter by one.
Modular design and construction allows for field upgrades and filter module replacement if
needed. The ESE is designed to have a service life in excess of 25 years under normal
circumstances. Should replacement be needed complete modular removal ensures all faulty
and suspect components are replaced.
