Step 4 - Connect load cables
1
Select load cable to suit the dc load currents and voltage drop requirements.
Also refer to the table of minimum cable sizes for specific MCBs on page
2
Route the load cables to the APS.
If the optional top cover is used then route the cables under the cable tie rod.
3
Terminate the load common cable(s) with an M6 crimp lug.
4
Connect the load common cable(s) on the common bar at the load termination
points. Tighten according to the Standard Torque Settings on page
5
Terminate the load live cable(s) at the load MCB(s).
The current rating of the MCBs must be derated to 75%.
Ensure that the fuse fail detection wires are properly terminated as shown in the
