Conductor cross-section for protective connections
Technical data
Select the conductor cross-section of the protective conductor corresponding to the table below.
The values are applicable if the protective conductor is manufactured out of the same metal
as the line conductors. If this is not the case, then the protective conductor cross-section
must be selected in such a way that an electrical conductivity is obtained that is at least the
same as the data listed in this table.
