For higher levels of protection, particularly for sites with high incidence of lightning or switching surges, additional surge protection is required on the AC feed to the Power plant. Typically surge arrestors with a 10kA-40kA rating are required with the highest level of protection being provided when arrestors are connected between phase-neutral (x3 phases) and between phase/neutral-earth (x 3 phases).
