- So far so good. The voltage clamp (3 zener diodes for European IS category iA and two for category iB) is the limiter on voltage and, providing you do not generate more then these zeners, it's virtually a rubber stamp job. It's likely you are going to be involved with North American standard but, they are similar. If you want to make comparisons I once found this wall-chart quite comforting when I was designing IS stuff (many projects over many years): -

- No, use an extra fuse is my advice as per the modified diagram.
