A
A cable with either metal cover, screening or metallic protection tube according to VDE must be used
between overvoltage arrester and transmitter (metal cover, screening or protective tube must not be
grounded).
Test voltage of the cable "A"
≥
1500 V AC.
B
A cable acc. to VDE, if necessary with metal cover or screen, must be used between control room and
overvoltage arrester. Metal cover or screen - if necessary - must only be connected on the transmitter
side of the overvoltage arrester. The cable must have an outer insulation.
Test voltage of the cable "B" ³ 500 V AC.
