There is a OVRHT3B model for each power system
configuration (neutral grounding practice) as
defined in EN60950:
For TNC grounded systems use “I” suffix – Neutral
and PE (protected earth conductor) are combined
throughout the system while TNCS splits the
combined PEN into a separate neutral and PE at the
service entry; the U.S. practice is a variation of this.
The neutral is earthed at the transformer for both
types. The OVRHT3B50230I model is suited for both
TNC and TNCS systems.
For TNS grounded systems use “J” suffix – Neutral is
earthed at the transformer; however, is not bonded to
earth or the PE elsewhere. The PE is carried to the site
from the transformer and bonded to site earth. The
OVRHT3B50230J model is intended for use on this
system; it can also be used on TNCS as well as on U.S.
120/240V services without the neutral.
For IT and IT-L grounded systems use “K” suffix – The
transformer is unearthed or earthed through high
impedance. The PE originates at site; however, is not
bonded to a service conductor. No conductor in this
system is designated as neutral. The OVRHT3B50230K
model is suited for this application; it can also be used
on TT, TNS, TNCS and U.S. services without neutral
power systems.
For TT grounded systems use “L” suffix – Neutral is
earthed at the transformer. The PE originates at site;
however, is not bonded to the neutral. There is no
interconnection between the PE and transformer
earth. The OVRHT3B50230L model is for use on this
system; it can also be employed upon TNS, TNCS and
U.S. services without neutral.
