Before applying SPDs to AC Power Systems, we first need to determine the type of power system, commonly:

TN-C TN-S TN-C-S TT

TN-C Power System

In this this, the neutral and protective earth conductor combine in a single conductor throughout the system. All exposed-conductive-parts are connected to the PEN conductor.

TN-S Power System

In this, a separate neutral and protective earth conductor are run throughout. The protective PE conductor can be the metallic sheath of the power distribution cable or a separate conductor conductor. All exposed-conductive-parts of the installation are connected to this PE conductor.

TN-C-S Power System

In this, a separate neutral and protective earth combine in a single PEN conductor. This system is also known as a Multiple Earthed Neutral (MEN) system and the protective conductor is referred to as the Combined Neutral Earth (CNE) conductor. The supply PEN conductor is earthed at a number of points throughout the network and generally as close to the consumers point-of-entry as possible. All exposed-conductive-parts are connected to the CNE conductor.

TT Power System
