An arrangement is presented which ensures protection against transient and line frequency overvoltage and limits the load on the consumer to a minimum even in case of transient currents. The arrangement consists of a special arrester in the shunt circuit, a fast switch in the series circuit as well as a control and measuring device. The design, mode of operation and parameters of the components of the arrangement are described based on different loads. The protective effect is discussed.References
