Do we need to install a disconnection circuit breaker to protect Surge Arrester ?
Yes, The surge arrester must be protected upstream by a disconnection circuit breaker.
The surge arrester is not intended to be exposed to a permanent overvoltage (phase/neutral inversion, or neutral rupture).
In this case, it would be short-circuited and may damage the switchboard.
A disconnection circuit breaker protecting the surge arrester against short circuits is therefore required to ensure the safety of the electrical installation.
