Electrical safety

Design of the connection cable according to IEC 60 245 (H
07 RN-F) with a core cross-section of at least
−
1.5 mm
2
for cable lengths up to 25 m
−
2.5 mm
2
for cable lengths over 25 m

Long and thin connection lines result in a potential drop. The
motor does not reach any longer its maximal power; the
function of the device is reduced.

Plugs and coupler outlets on connection cables must be
made of rubber, plasticised PVC or other thermoplastic
material of same mechanical stability or be covered with this
material.

The connector of the connection cable must be splash-
proof.
