NOTES:
1. Where the conductor is to be
protected by a semi-enclosed fuse to
BS 3036, see item 6.2 of the preface
to this appendix.
2. Circular conductors are assumed for
sizes up to and including 16 mm2.
Values for larger sizes relate to

This is a reminder to us all only to install equipment suitable for the position in the
installation.
The equipment standards call up the various impulse withstand voltages and
providing we put equipment in appropriate parts of the installation there is no
problem.
Where an installation is supplied by an overhead line and if the lightning level
(ceraunic level) exceeds 25 thunderstorms per year then surge protective devices are
required. The UK is fortunate in
almost all locations in having
lightning levels less than this
please see enclosed world map.
So there is usually no
requirement to install surge
protective devices. Other parts of
the world are not so fortunate and
protection is required. BS 7671 is
harmonised with the European
(CENELEC) standards so that
these requirements have to be
included and as many users will
know it is used in many parts of
the world where the lightning
levels are very high.
