2 EARTHING
Earthing is of the utmost importance if the protector is to work effectively. An earth wire
is supplied with every protector and should be connected to a low impedance earth.
3 MAINTENANCE
If the protector has been installed correctly, the protector should operate maintenance
free for long periods. When the protector is damaged it will present a short circuit. This
short circuit will not damage the protected eq uipment. The fault could be diagnosed by
simply removing the protector and connecting the equipment directly to the line.
Note This protector has been approved by Telcom SA Limited and is thereby licensed to
connect the protector on a telecommunication line in SA.
