Maximum permissible current loads for cables and devices must not be exceeded.
– Always compare the current ratings of the device, the cable and the fuse to ensure that they match.
– In the event that these are not the same, use a separate upstream fuse in order to
provide appropriate overcurrent protection.
•
Use only connecting cables with safety plugs for electrical connections.
•
When laying connecting cables, make sure they are not kinked or pinched.
•
Do not lay cables over hot surfaces.
– Hot surfaces are indicated by a corresponding warning symbol.
•
Make sure that connecting cables are not subjected to continuous tensile loads.
