Safety First
Even though EP units are designed for common installation, electricity is dangerous
and only qualified personnel should attempt installation.
1.
Read and understand entire contents of installation manual prior to installation.
2.
Measure voltage of the electrical panel where the installation is taking place.
3.
Verify that voltage and electrical configuration matches the model of the EP unit being installed.
4.
If the model number does not match DO NOT install.
5.
Turn off electrical supply prior to any installation in electrical panel.
6.
Verify with voltage meter that electricity is off.
7.
Ensure all connections in electrical panel are secure and all tools and equipment have been removed
from electrical panel before re-energizing system.
WARNING
ALWAYS
have a professional electrician with proper safety equipment perform installation.
Do NOT install waveform corrector on the output of a variable frequency drive
Pre-Installation Preparations
1.
Read entire contents before performing installation.
2.
Verify the voltage rating of the system before installing the EP unit. Make sure the electrical system
operates a t or below the maximum continuous operating voltage of EP product.
It should not exceed five (5) percent of the rated nominal voltage of the unit.
Note: If you hove questions regarding voltage ratings, contact EP.
3.
Check all the fuses of the electrical system before installing EP unit.
4.
Make sure the power distribution configuration o f the EP unit matches with the configuration
of your electrical system. The available configurations are Single leg (1 hot, 1 neutral and 1 ground)
or Single Phase (2 hot, 1 neutral and 1 ground).
5.
Make sure your EP product is suitable for your application.
Note: Call EP to confirm the product application.

Voltage Ratings & Power Source Configurations
Single Leg 1 Wire, 1 Neutral + Ground Installation
1. Connect white neutral to neutral bus bar.
2. Next connect black phase A to phase A of the 15 A breaker.
3. Last connect green ground to ground bus bar or panel. Ground is case ground only
and should NOT be connected to neutral bus bar.
Single Phase Installation
1. Connect white neutral to neutral bus bar.
2. Next connect black phase A to phase A of the 15 A breaker.
3. Then connect black phase B to phase B of 15 A breaker.
4. Last connect green ground to ground bus bar or panel. Ground is case ground only
and should NOT be connected to neutral bus bar.

Circuit Breaker Recommendation
EP-2050 series requires a 15A breaker. If the installation area is highly prone to
lightning strikes and surges, EP recommends a higher rated breaker up to 30A. Note
that the filter performance is
not altered
by the type of fuse the customer selected.
EP-2050 Series INSTALLATION GUIDE 5
Mounting
For optimal performance, mount EP product as close to
electrical panel as possible. Longer wire increases inductance
in the system and the EP unit may not function properly.
Make sure the EP product is mounted in a dry and clean
environment. e EP unit can be mounted in any secure area
above, below, beside or inside the electrical panel.
For optimal performance:
•EP-2050 should be connected no more than
6 inchesfrom electrical panel.
Although internal mounting can be preferred mounting for
shorter lead lengths and optimal performance, it poses two
problems:
1. IEEE does not recommend internal mounting of
Waveform Corrector in the event of end of life
termination of the unit that may cause damage to the
internal distribution panel.
2. On internal installation the panel must be opened for
visual verification of units’ functional status.
Ensure you have considered all of these options before
attempting internal installation.
WARNING
• ALWAYS have a professional
electrician with proper safety
equipment perform installation.
• Any attempt to open unit voids
warranty.
!!
SIDE MOUNTING
EP units are designed for installation to ½ inch
panel knockout on side, top or bottom of panel.
Unit may also be secured with #8 self tapping or
wood screws.
INTERNAL MOUNTING
Ensure a minimum of 1 inch clearance to all
electrical surfaces before attempting an internal
mounting.

Wiring
1. Requires a dedicated 15 A circuit breaker to connect Waveform Corrector to the electrical system.
2. Wire should be connected straight to the power source. Avoid sharp bends and refrain from splicing the
wires as this will reduce the effectiveness of the unit.
3. Do not twist wires.
NOTE: It is good electrical practice to tighten all of the bolts in the electrical panel. Electrical leads should be
connected securely to prevent fire or electrical damage.
Maintenance
EP products do NOT require periodic maintenance. The units have LED lights to provide visual indication of the
unit’s functional status. It is also good practice to inspect the connections of the power supply wiring to the EP unit
monthly.
Servicing
EP units contain no serviceable parts and require no adjustments. All EP products are designed to provide many
years of electrical protection without any need for servicing.
If the EP unit does malfunction, have a professional electrician inspect the wire connections. If the problem
persists, contact your EP sales representative to discuss obtaining a replacement unit.
