The 230V system is protected by a two-pole 13 A automatic
circuit breaker
j
, which is located either by the refrigerator,
the clothes cupboard or the step to the bed. (Exceptions to this
include special installations, such as hot-water heating, etc.. In
this case, an additional two-pole 16 A circuit breaker has been
installed.) If there are two automatic circuit breakers, both must
be switched on.

Rules for the mains connection
• Use only a 3 x 2.5 mm
2
cable with a maximum length of 25 m,
a CEE plug and connector to connect the motor home to an
external 230 V mains.
• After the mains connection has been plugged in, both the
modular and the vehicle battery will automatically be char-
ged by the battery charger in the motor home (even if the
Control Panel has not been switched on).
When obtaining electricity via a cable drum, this
must
be
completely unwound, as otherwise induction may cause
the cable to heat up, which could lead to burning.
(Provided there is no protection against overheating)
• The 230 V mains connection in the motor home has been
designed for a total power consumption of 3000 W. If addi
-
tional devices requiring electricity are connected, such as a
water heater, etc., you must ensure that this electric power
value is not exceeded, taking other electrical equipment in
use, such as the refrigerator, heating, etc., into account.
