Überspannungensbegrenzung

Im Fehlerfall dürfen die Werte nach 19 Pfl 1 nicht überschritten werden. In den Stromversorgungsgeräten, die außerhalb von Fernmeldedienstdienstgebäuden eingesetzt werden sollen, darf eine bleibende Überspannungsabschaltung nur bei tatsächlichen Reglerdefekten erfolgen.

[Glossary entries do not seem to fit]
Bei einem *Ansprechen* der Überspannungsschutzschaltung aufgrund von äußeren Einflüssen (EMC) must dies durch eine automatische *Wiederaufprüfung* zurückgesetzt werden.


Glossry entries (access/address) seem out of place).
