with overvoltage category II. Generally this is ensured through the
public operator of the power supply networks. In company-owned
networks, e.g. in all power supply systems owned by wastewater
treatment plants, this must be kept separate by a potential
equalization and a surge protection system for the plant.

components and of the entire system. It does not have or require

system or its components, e.g. the use of

overvoltage surge arresters, are not necessary for protection
against the indirect effects of lightning and could possibly result in
malfunctions.

must

be carried out as follows:

– The shield of SNCIQ or SNCIQ-UG cables can be connected to

the local potential equalization with a gas overvoltage surge
arrester. Shielding terminals (e. g. of the PROFIBUS system)
have to be used to contact the shield. The shield of the cable
must not be opened under any circumstances.

– 0/4-20 mA interfaces must be realized with shielded cables. The

cable shield must be connected directly to the potential
equalization(s) provided. If plant potential equalization systems
are provided on both sides, the shield must also be connected on
both sides. The inner conductors must have no contact with the
potential equalization.

– The PROFIBUS cables have to be installed according to the rules

of the relevant bus system.

– Relay lines should be connected to the local potential

equalization in order to provide general and consistent protection
via gas overvoltage surge arresters.
