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