 How to Install 220V Panel Complete with TN-S Grounding

The TN-S grounding is done inside the circuit distribution board, interconnecting the neutral conductor with the earth conductor, observing the connection of the DR. In this case, you do not need to use DPS for neutral as per figure 13 of NBR-5410. It was also considered the BEP (main equipotential busbar) within the distribution board of the residence.

The recommendation on how to install SPD for neutral or for phase is in figure 13 of NBR-5410

A two-phase 127/220V switchgear on a TN-S grounding system has two phases, each with a nominal voltage of 127V with respect to neutral. The voltage between phases is 220V.


In the TN-S system, the neutral is grounded separately, usually via a grounding rod, while the phases are kept isolated from earth. This provides greater safety and reduces the risk of electric shock.

For the installation of the single-phase distribution board, the following components were used for each circuit:


✔ Shower outlet: 50A circuit breaker and 10 mm phase, neutral and earth cable;

✔ Kitchen outlets: 25A circuit breaker and 4 mm phase, neutral and earth cable;

✔ Bedroom and living room sockets: 20A circuit breaker and 2.5 mm phase, neutral and ground cable;

✔ Lighting: 10A circuit breaker and 1.5 mm phase and neutral cable.


According to item 6.3.5.2.9 of NBR-5410, the SPD can be installed with a conductor with a minimum section of 4mm.

According to figure 13 of NBR-5410 when the neutral conductor is grounded BEP (main equipotential bus) there is no need to install SPD for the neutral conductor.
