Protecting ET 200SP with fail-safe modules against overvoltages
If your equipment requires protection from overvoltage, we recommend that you use an
external protective circuit (surge filter) between the load voltage power supply and the load
voltage input of the BaseUnits to ensure surge immunity for the ET 200SP with fail-safe
modules.
Note
Lightning protection measures always require a case
-by-case examination of the entire
plant. Almost complete protection from overvoltages, however, can onl
y be achieved if the
entire building surroundings have been designed for overvoltage protection. In particular, this
involves structural measures in the building design phase.
For detailed information regarding overvoltage protection, we recommend that you
contact
your Siemens representative or a company specializing in lightning protection.
