Scope when installing overvoltage protection systems
The scope of IEC 60364-4-443 – Electrical installations of buildings,
Protection for safety; Protection against voltage disturbances
and electromagnetic disturbances – extends from the protective
device over the counter, through to the socket outlet.
The scope of IEC 61024-1 – Protection of structures against
lightning – and IEC 61312-1 – Protection against lightning
electromagnetic impulse – extends from the incoming main
feeder box through to the socket outlet and includes grounding
measures for SPDs.
If a lightning protection equipotential bonding is installed, it must
be connected to the base points of the overvoltage protective
devices.
