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 with the potential equalisation).
Test voltage of the cable "A" ³ 1500 V AC.

B

A cable according to VDE must be used between control room and overvoltage arrester, if necessary with
metal cover or shielding (if necessary, connect metal cover or shielding only on one end of the cable with
earth or PA).
Test voltage of the cable "B"

500 V AC.
