Precautions
(1) Thick wiring enhances the lightning surge absorption effect, so make the wiring se as thick and
short as possible.
Wire material : Wire diameter 2mm
2
or more
Wire length : Connection to surge absorber (1): Wire length (A) is 2m or less
Connection to surge absorber (2): Wire length (B) is 2m or less
Grounding to surge absorber (2) : Wire length (C) is 2m or less
(2) When carrying out a withstand voltage test by applying an overvoltage on the power line,
remove surge absorber (2) as it will activate with the applied voltage.
(3) A short-circuit fault will occur if a surge exceeding the tolerance is applied on the surge
absorber. Thus, always insert a circuit protector to protect the power supply line.
A current does not flow to surge absorber (1) and (2) during normal use, so the circuit protector
can be shared with other devices.
