Installing the PE Cable on the ProfiDAT
®
Profile
The ProfiDAT
®
profile must be connected to the customer's PE cable at the start of the system. This cable must be a PE cable and
thus marked green-yellow (see Fig. 47). The cable cross-section can be determined by the customer; it must be designed at least
equal to half the phase current.
Steps:
Fasten screw DIN 933 (2), locking washer DIN 6798 (6), PE pipe (3) with cable lug (4), locking washer (7) and nut DIN 934 (8)
to connector PE (1).
Attach the grounding symbol below the cable lug to the connector (1).
At each 5
th
rail connection point, a PE connector and a grounding wire connected to the steel construction must be installed. For this
purpose, an expansion element can be used.
The conductor cross section of the grounding cable may be specified by the customer, but must be at least 16 mm². PE rail con-
nectors are used to connect the grounding cable to the ProfiDAT
®
profiles.
Steps:
Mark the grounding cable (3) with the cable lug (4) (for M10 screw) at both ends green-yellow (5).
Fasten screw DIN 933 (2), locking washer DIN 6798 (6), PE pipe (3) with cable lug (4), locking washer (7) and nut DIN 934 (8)
to connector PE (1).
Attach the grounding symbol below the cable lug to connector PE (1).
Connect the unconnected end to the steel structure on site and mark the connection point with the grounding symbol.
