18. SIX POINT PLAN
TDS-DINLINE SURGE SUPPRESSORs form
an important part of the much larger ERICO
lightning, surge and transient protection
philosophy (ERICO Lightning Technologies
“Six Point Plan”). The level of protection and
the degree of attention dedicated to each of
the six points will require careful
consideration for each site. The degree of
protection required is determined by the
individual site location/exposure with the aid
of risk management principals.
For further advice on your protection needs
please contact your local representative.
