Connection to AC supply
•
Connection to an AC supply must only be carried out by qualified personnel and the device
must always be run directly on a power grid (transformer are permitted) and not on generators
or UPS equipment!
•
Cable cross section must be suitable for the maximum input current of the device! See tables
below. The device should furthermore be fused externally and according to the current rating
and cable cross section
•
Before plugging the AC plug ensure that the device is switched off by its mains switch!
•
Ensure that all regulations for the operation of the device and connection to the public grid
of energy back-feeding equipment have been considered and requirements have been met!
2.3.4.1
European models
The device is delivered with a 5 pole AC plug. Depending on model, the plug is connected to a 2-phase or 3-phase
AC supply, according to the labelling on the plug. Required
are following phases:
Nominal power
Inputs on AC plug Supply type
5 kW models
L2, L3, PE
Two- or three-phase
≥10 kW models
L1, L2, L3, PE
Three-phase
The PE conductor is imperative and must always be wired!
For the selection of a suitable cable
cross section
the rated AC current of the device and the cable length are
decisive. Based on the connection of
one single unit
the table lists the maximum input current and recommended
minimum cross section for each phase:

The included connection plug can receive crimped cable ends of up to 6 mm². The longer the connection cable,
the higher the voltage loss due to the cable resistance. Therefore the mains cables should be kept as short as
possible or have a bigger cross section.
