General installation principle

F2 compulsory if F1 > maximum calibre specified for the SPD.
Protection of neutral compulsory.
TT systems : RCD compulsory upstream "C1" type SPDs.
Earth : 5a or 5b link. Min. section : 10 mm2 min. with direct lightning protection system (IEC 60364
: 16 mm2 min.), 4 mm2 without.
Total length d1+d2+d3 as short as possible (< 50 cm recommended).

L : phase. N : neutral. PE : earth.

F1, F2 : overcurrent protection (circuit breaker or fuse).
RCD : residual current device.
SPD : surge protective device.
MEB : main earth bar.
E : protected equipment.
G : grounding of protected equipment.

Please refer to technical data sheets and installation instructions for more information.
Connexion of type 1 ("C1" type) : common mode, protection of L-PE and N-PE (modes 2+0, 3+0 or 4+0).
Connexion of type 2 ("C2" type) : common and differential modes, protection of L-N and N-PE (modes 3+1 or 1+1).
