Dimensioning of conductor cross-sections
The different conductor cross-sections (Lq 1 to Lq 3) must be
dimensioned according to the rated current of the miniature
circuit breaker or the fuse.
Series connection
a) Protection of the SPD over miniature circuit breakers
a) Protection of the SPD over fuses
PAS = equipotential bonding strip
Parallel connection
a) Protection of the SPD over miniature circuit breakers
a) Protection of the SPD over fuses
