PowerFlow ERS MINI Installation And User Manual Download Page 11

DANGER: Risk of electric shock  

 

 

PowerFlow  E.R.S  MINI  is  designed  to  be  fully  integrated  and  simple  to  install.    It  is  recommended 

however, that all electrical work is carried out by a competent electrical professional and all local elec-

trical standards such as BS7671 are observed prior to installation. 

 

 

DANGER: 

E.R.S MINI has an aluminium enclosure and is  considered to be an exposed conductive 

part. There MUST be an earth connection terminated at all times.

 

Ensure  an  earth  continuity  check  between  the  PE  supply  and  the  case  has  been  carried 

out prior to commissioning. 

 

WARNING: Risk of damage to the Device

 

 

E.R.S MINI 

MUST NOT 

be installed in conjunction with Voltage Optimization or power factor 

 

correction equipment.  Doing so may damage the device. Failure to ensure that no voltage or power 

factor correction devices of any type are installed on the premises prior to installation will result in the 

warranty being void. For further information, please refer to the warranty documentation.  

 

It is important to take note of the following notices. Failure to do so may result in danger to persons, 

 

damage to property, or invalidation of the device warranty. All electrical work referenced in this sec-

tion should be carried out by an electrical professional.

 

Take note of the following warnings:

 

6. System Design

 

The E.R.S MINI device contains a single output connection, capable of outputting modulated power 

levels to a connected resistive load of up to 3000W 

 

 

During operation it is possible for E.R.S MINI to pull a load current of up to 16 Amps, therefore the 

supply circuit must be suitably designed to cope with this level of load current.   

 

 

 

A maximum value of a 16A type B MCB should be observed for overcurrent and short circuit protection 

in this instance with a minimum supply conduction size of 2.5mm.

 

 

Recommended AC connection method

 

 

 

Connection method:

 

A New Final Circuit is used to supply E.R.S MINI

 

Cable Size:

 

2.5mm² 

 

MCB Size:

 

16A Type B max

 

Protection and isolation method:

 

30mA RCD protection provided.
