Inductive devices require additional surge arresters only in following cases:
• If SIMATIC output circuits can be switched off by additionally installed contacts
(e.g. relay contacts).
• If the inductive loads are not controlled by SIMATIC modules
Note: Request information on relevant surge protection rating from the supplier of
inductive devices.
