5SD7 surge arresters, type 3

Overview
Type 3 surge arresters are installed downstream of type 2 surge
arresters in sub-distribution boards as close as possible to the
load. The protective modules are available as connectors. In the
event of a power failure, a remote signaling is output over an
optocoupler with open collector output.

5SD7 surge arresters for measuring and control technology

Overview
The surge arresters for measuring and control technology are Through the number of integrated paths, it is possible to protect
overvoltage protection modules that comprise two parts, a basic up to four signal cores or two double cores against overvoltages.
element and a plug-in part. Their application area is the protec-
tion of signal circuits. The arresters are made up of two parts (plug-in part and base
element).
The cable shields of basic elements can be either directly or
indirectly grounded. A mechanical encoding ensures protection against reverse
polarity.
The mounting width of the surge arresters is 1 MW.
