Electrical
Betapack 4 is designed to operate on 10% -
15% at 50-60Hz (auto sensing). The pack may not
operate satisfactorily outside this specification.
The packs may be wired:
- Single Phase: 60A 1 phase 2-wire 230V
(255V max phase to neutral)
Earth leakage less than 1mA
- Three Phase Star: 20A 4-wire 230/380V
(255V max phase to neutral)
Earth leakage less than 1mA
- Three Phase Delta: 30A 3-wire 230V
(255V max phase to phase)
Earth leakage less than 4mA
Max total load: 13.9kW @ 230V
Load per channel: 0.1A Min; 10A Max
No load consumption: 10W
Rise Time: 80uS
Triac Type: BTA40-600A/B
If used in conjunction with MCBs, to avoid nuisance
tripping use high inrush current (Type K) MCBs.
The “dim” sockets allow for lighting loads which are
resistive or inductive, including tungsten, transformer
driven low voltage (e.g. pinspots), and quartz halogen.
Electronic transformers plugged into the “dim” socket
must be suitable for leading edge dimming.

WARNING!
Do not remove the covers without first completely
disconnecting Betapack 4 from the mains supply
WARNING!
Betapack 4 will fail the portable appliance high voltage test
as it has capacitors connected between Live 1/2/3 and Earth,
and between Neutral and Earth, to enable it to comply with
CE regulations.
