A

A cable with either metal cover, shielding or metallic protection tube according to VDE must be used
between overvoltage arrester and transmitter (metal cover, shielding or protection tube must be
connected to earth).
Test voltage of the cable "A"

1500 V AC.

B

A cable according to VDE, if necessary with metal cover or shielding must be used between control room
and overvoltage arrester. The metal cover or shielding - 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.
