Can anyone please advise if EN 60439-1 allows the practice of placing a surge protection device (eg an MOV) across the mains input (active to earth) is accepted. The MOV would probably be set at something like 420 vAC or RMS so probably about 600 peak.
The equipment is a professional lighting dimmer/distribution type stand-alone box (trans-portable) which incorporates: - a 3 phase star (neutral required) with earth type power supply. The box provides the following outputs: - multiple (10A) dimmer output circuits (std mains type outlets) - multiple non-dimmed output circuits (3 outlets per circuit) power distribution type arrangement (std mains type outlets) based on power switchboard type technology Any input gratefully received. Thanks.
