Please note the following points about line voltage: 
●  For stationary plants and systems without an all-pole line disconnector, there must be a 
disconnector unit (all-pole) fitted in the building installation. 
●  Any fluctuation/deviation in the line voltage from the rated value must be within the 
permitted tolerance for all S7-1500 electric circuits. 
Please note the following points for 24 V DC supply: 
●  Power supplies for 24 V DC must have secure electrical isolation in accordance with IEC 
60364-4-41. 
●  Surge arrestors must be fitted to protect against lighting and overvoltage. 
You will find components for lightning and overvoltage protection in the "Designing
