Note:
[A] Between control room and overvoltage protection system a suitable cable, if necessary a metal cover or
screen, should be used. Screen or metal cover - if necessary - must only be connected to the electrode
side of the overvoltage arrester.
[B] Between overvoltage protection system and capacitive electrode a suitable cable with metal cover, screen
or a suitable cable with metal protection tube should be used (screen, metal cover or protection tube must
be connected to the potential equalisation).
