Residual Current Device (RCD) - Models Outside
of North America
In some countries, an RCD is known as an Earth Leakage Trip,
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI), Appliance Leakage
Current Interrupter (ALCI) or Earth (Ground) Leakage Current
Breaker.
When locally allowed, an RCD must be installed. In some power
network earthing systems, an RCD may not be allowed.
The RCD must have the following specifications:
• Tripping current of 100mA (if not locally available/allowed,
use a 30mA trip current, preferably selective type with small
time delay set)
• Type B (components inside the machine which make use of
DC voltages and require this better performance RCD)
• Maximum of 2 machines installed on each RCD (for 30mA,
only 1 machine)
Some washer control circuits are supplied with a separating trans-
former. Therefore, the RCD may not detect faults in the control
circuits (but the fuse(s) on the separating transformer will).
Supply Protection Device
A supply protection device protects the machine and wiring
against short circuits. (Glow-wire) fuses or (automatic) circuit
breakers may be used as supply protection devices.
Protection must be the "slow" type, which means curve D for cir-
cuit breakers.
Supply Cable
The supply cable is not delivered with the machine.
Specifications
• Conductors with copper cores. Refer to
for wire size details.
• Stranded conductors are strongly recommended (flexible wir-
ing) to avoid conductor breaking because of vibration.
• The cross section depends on the used supply protection de-
for the minimal cross
section.
• Route the supply cable as short as possible, directly from the
supply protection device to the washer without branching off.
• No plug or extension cords. The machine is intended to be
permanently connected to the electrical network.
Connection
1. Insert the cable through the hole, insure a strain relief (turn-
buckle) is used so that the supply cable can not move.
2. Strip the conductor ends. Refer to
.
3. The protective conductor must be longer so that it is routed to
the machine without tension.
4. With stranded conductors, use “wire end tubes” with an insu-
lated sleeve (6) for L1/U, (L2/V), (L3/W) conductors. Make
sure there is no accidental contact, since the supply cable
stays under voltage even when the main switch is off.
5. Crimp a ring terminal (eyelet) to the protection conductor for
good fixation to the PE terminal.
6. Connect the supply cable conductors to the incoming termi-
nals (main switch (1)) marked with L1/U, (L2/V), (L3/W) and
the terminal (copper screw) marked with PE. Refer to
.
7. Provide a sag in the cable, in front of the cable strain relief.
This will avoid condensed water dripping into the machine.
