Inductive Voltage Drop on Leads
V = L di/dt in plain installation language.

Fast currents
Surge currents change extremely quickly. Even small inductance creates large voltage.
Where the voltage appears
The inductive drop on the connecting leads adds to the SPD's residual voltage at the busbars feeding equipment.
Design consequence
A great Up on paper can become a poor installed Up with long leads.
