1
Temporary Overvoltage rating is for a maximum duration of 5 seconds tested to BS EN/EN/IEC 61643.
2
Minimum permissable load is 5 V DC, 10 mA to ensure reliable operation.
3
The maximum transient voltage let-through of the protector throughout the test (±5%), phase to neutral, phase to
earth and neutral to earth.
4
The electrical system, external to the unit, may constrain the actual current rating achieved in a particular installation.
5
Rating is considered as the current capability of the protector for equipotential bonding near the service entrance.
