Nevarna preobremenitev opreme mora biti preprečena v fazi načrtovanja z vgrajenimi merilnimi, regulacijskimi in kontrolnimi napravami, kakršni so stikala za prekinitev ob premočnem pretoku, omejevalniki temperature, diferenčna tlačna stikala, merilniki pretoka, zakasnitveni releji, spremljevalniki prekoračitev hitrosti in/ali podobni tipi nadzornih naprav.
Dangerous overloading of equipment must be prevented at the design stage by means of integrated measurement, regulation and control devices, such as over-current cut-off switches, temperature limiters, differential pressure switches, flowmeters, time-lag relays, overspeed monitors and/or similar types of monitoring devices.
