Connect the outlet for secure power supply operation
Requirements on・the conductors:
☐ The conductors with regards to its ampacity, rated temperatures, operating conditions and its
power loss must be made in accordance with the local standards and the National Electrical
®
Code
ANSI/NFPA 70 or the Canadian Electrical Code
☐ Conductor type: copper wire
☐ The conductors must be made of solid wire, stranded wire or fine stranded wire. When using
fine stranded wire, bootlace ferrules must be used.
☐ Conductor cross-section: 2.5 mm² to 4 mm² (14 AWG to 12 AWG)
☐ Maximum length of conductors: 10 m (33 ft)
Procedure:
1.
Danger to life due to high voltages
• Ensure that the inverter is disconnected from all voltage sources (see Section 8,
page 66).
2. Remove the sealing plug from the enclosure opening for connecting the outlet for secure
power supply operation.
3. Insert the conduit fitting into the opening and tighten from the inside using the counter nut.
4. Attach the conduit to the conduit fitting.
5. Guide the conductors into the inverter.
6. Connect the equipment grounding conductor of the outlet for secure power supply operation
to an equipment grounding terminal:
• Strip the insulation of the equipment grounding conductor by 18 mm (0.71 in).
• Insert the screw through the spring washer, the
clamping bracket and the washer.
• Guide the equipment grounding conductor between the washer and clamping bracket
and tighten the screw (TX 25) (torque: 6 Nm ± 0.3 Nm (53.10 in-lb ± 2.65 in-lb)).
