5. INSTALLATION AND PRECAUTION 5.1 The surge arrester is fixed to the supporting structure by fitting-bracket, and connecting its top terminal to H V wire of electrical apparatus ,which is protected ,with 8-16 mm2 copper wire, connecting its chassis cover to the terminal of operation counter, connecting the other terminal of operation counter to the ground wire, or connecting its chassis cover to the ground directly. 5.2 The surge arrester should be lain close to the electrical apparatus, which is protected ,for protective effects. When the transformer is protected ,the distance between the arrester and on the low voltage side of a distribution transformer in case any damage to the insulation caused by forward-backward over voltage 5.3 After bring the surge arrester into operating ,should be do preventive test every two years, measuring the leakage current of arrester at DA 1mA. 5.4 Please don't break open the surge arresters. 5.5 This product is warranted against defects in workmanship and materials .If any failure ,resulting from a defect in either workmanship or material, is occurred under the normal using within one years form the date of purchase ,we shall replace it in free of charge.
