3 Product description 3.2 Principle of operation Application area Voltage surges can be caused by indirect atmospheric discharges (lightning strokes) or switching operations in the supply network. Further causes can be inductive or capacitive couplings from other electrical systems. Voltage peaks (transients) must be expected especially when long power supply and signal cables are used. Such voltage surges can cause damage to sensors and signal conditioning instruments.

3 Product description 3.4 Installation in switching cabinet The overvoltage arrester is mounted in the switching cabinet on carrier rails according to EN 50 022 (DIN rail) or EN 50 035 (C-rail). It is fastened to the carrier rail with a screw located on its exterior. The screw is marked with the symbol for functional ground. Depending on the version, it may be galvanically connected to the ground terminal of the overvoltage arrester (see circuit diagram in chapter "Wiring plan").

This ground terminal must be connected (low impedance) with the potential equalization line (PA). The wire cross-section must be at least 2.5 mm2, the cable must be as short as possible.
4 Connecting to power supply 4 Connecting to power supply 4.1 Preparing the connection Note safety instructions Always keep in mind the following safety instructions: l Connect only in the complete absence of line voltage Before starting setup make sure that the power supply corresponds to the specifications on the type label. For effective overvoltage protection, the cables between overvoltage arrester and instrument should be as short as possible.
