Safety Statements
•
Do not install this equipment over combustible surfaces.
•
Rules and Regulations
-
Follow all national and local rules and regulations when making field connections.
•
Compression Connectors
•
U. S. or Canada installations
-
use Listed/Certified compression connectors to terminate Listed/Certified field
-
wire
conductors where required.
•
All installations
-
apply the appropriate connector to the correct size conductor as specified by the connector
manufacturer, using only the connector manufacturer
’
s recommended or approved tooling for that connector.
•
Electrical Connection Securing: Torque to the values specified on labels or in the product documentation.
•
Cable Dress
-
dress to avoid damage to the conductors and undue stress on the connectors.
•
Fuses and Circuit Breakers
-
Size as required by the National Electric Code (NEC) and/or local codes.
•
Refer to the equipment ratings to assure current does not exceed:
•
Continuous Load (List 1)
-
60% of protector rating
•
Maximum Load (List 2
-
typically end of discharge)
-
80% of protector rating.
•
Field
-
wired Conductors
-
Follow all National Electric Code (NEC) and local rules and regulations .
•
