Parafoudre units

Recommended Posts

We are in area 47 (a high risk of lightening I believe) with overhead supply. So if my understanding is correct a parafoudre is obligatory, our supply is three phase and no books I have read addresses this problem. Is there a three phase parafoudre available,or do I but three of the single phase parafoudre units I have seen on sale? There does not appear to be any parafoudre protection in my existing system which apparently passed inspection before I bought the property last year. We do have a very large EDF box, is it possible that protectionexists in this box ?

Your advice would be appreciated.

It is possible that the parafoudres are fitted to the standard din rails in the tableau. Assuming you have interupters, disjointers, t6eleruptuers and contacteurs fitted these all have either small two our three position levers fitted. Anything else could be a parafoudre. French wiring regulations mean that the tabluaux for even a relatively modest new build is huge by UK standards.
