The cross-section of the arrester earth conductor is determined, as with the main equipotential bonding
conductors, according to table 1. The conductor must have 0,5 times the cross-section of the main
protective conductor, the upper limit is fixed at 25 mm2 Cu. A lower limit of 10 mm2 Cu is required.

3. Functional check
PU overvoltage arresters must be subjected to a visual inspection, especially during thunderstorms. If
the colour of the inspection window turns red, the arrester must be replaced by trained service personal.
3.1 Maintenance
If the charge eliminator shows a red window as in 3., it must be replaced with a new one by trained
service personal. The individual charge eliminators are pluggable and encoded according to their
voltage. The varistor arrester must be removed when measuring the insulation resistance according to
DIN VDE 0100 part 610. To remove, pull on the upper parts of the varistor.
The charge eliminator compatible with the rated voltage of the plant must be re-installed.
