Question
How is the overvoltage protector with KNX bus connector design classified, and how does it differ from primary protection?
Answer
A — It is secondary protection at the devices; primary protection uses lightning current arresters on active conductors.
Correct: the overvoltage protector is secondary protection, distinct from the primary lightning current arresters.
