5.2 Electrical installation
Meaning
It is crucial to safe and reliable operation of the appliance that the electrical system is installed careful‐
ly and correctly. All the rules and regulations listed here, and the described procedure, must be strictly
followed.
Requirements
Check that the following requirements have been met:
■
The connection point of the appliance is not connected to the customer power supply.
Equipment provided by customer and electrical installation regulations
The table below shows what equipment must be provided by the customer and what regulations must
be observed when connecting the appliance.
Component
Description
Fuse
The hood must be fused with a residual-current device with a suitable
current rating. This ground fault circuit interrupter must not be used to
protect any other loads. Follow the applicable installation regulations.
Equipotential bonding
The hood must be incorporated in an equipotential bonding system.
Equipotential bonding: electrical connection that ensures that the
frames of electrical equipment and any external conductive components
are at an equal (or practically equal) potential.
Disconnector
An all-pole disconnector with a minimum contact separation of 3 mm
must be installed close to the appliance. The disconnector is used to
disconnect the appliance from the electrical supply for cleaning, repair
and installation work.
Power cord
The power cord must be an oil-resistant, sheathed and flexible cable in
accordance with IEC 60245 (e.g. H05RN-F, H05VV-F). The power
cord's nominal cross section must be at least 1.5 mm².
Main terminal block
The main terminal block is located inside the electrical wiring compart‐
ment.
Cable gland
The cable gland serves as a strain relief mechanism and must be tight‐
ened firmly.
Control cable
Implementation regulations
The electrical supply connection must be implemented in compliance with the following regulations:
■
VDE (0100/0700) or relevant regulations of local professional associations
■
Currently valid regulations of the local energy provider
Carrying out the electrical installation
Step
Action
