3.4  ELECTRIC CONNECTIONS  

 

DANGER

  Skilled operators must 

install

 electric

al

 connections.  

 

DANGER

  Before connecti

o

n, 

refer to

 the electric

s

 diagram and the plate on the machine for 

information about the voltage

 and

 frequency etc.   

 

DANGER

  Connect the 

earth

 terminal PE (yellow-green) before making any other connections.

 

DANGER

  Apply a knife switch at the top of the connecting cable of the machine to the power system. 

 

The knife switch must be combined with a

n overload

 safety device  

with a 

differential switch (safety switch). 

The technical features of the safety device must be in accordance with the standards in 
force in the country where the machine 

is

 installed. 

 

ELECTRIC TOLERANCES:

 

• 

Real voltage 

±

 10 % of the nominal one

 

• 

Frequency:      

±

 1 % of the nominal one in a continuous way      

±

 2 % of the nominal one for a short 

period

 

• 

The harmonic distortion of the sum from the second to the fifth harmonics not more than 10 % of the total 
voltage as a real value between the conductors. A further distortion of 2% is accepted for the sum from 
the sixth to the thirtieth harmonics of the real total value between the conductors.

 

• 

With reference to the tension unbalance of the three-phase voltage, the inverted sequence component 
and the zero sequence component must not be more than 2% of the direct sequence component of the 
voltage

 

• 

The voltage pulses must not last more than 1,5 ms with an up/down time between 500 ms and 500 

µ

and a peak value not higher than 200 % of the real value of the nominal tension. 

 

• 

The electric

al

 feed must not be interrupted or zeroed for more than 3 ms. Between two interruptions it 

must not take more than 1 s.

 

• 

The interruptions must not overcome 20 % of the tension peak for more than one cycle. Between two 
interruptions it must not take more than 1 s

.
