Connecting the device to the power grid
7.5.1
Prepare the grid connection
↻
A connection cable with 4 cores (4 individual cores or multi-core) up to max.
cable cross-section 16 mm - is available on the device.
↻
Time required for AC connection: 30 min
↻
Nominal grid voltage matches the VAC nom name plate details.
1. For improved accessibility: Unfasten the AC input plate using the 6 screws [
T_30]
2. Unfasten the cable fitting for AC connection and PE earth (ground) [ W_46].
3. Remove sealing plug.
4. Guide the AC leads through the cable fittings.
5. Strip the insulation from the AC cables.
6. Strip the insulation from individual wires for L1 / L2 / L3 (ABC) and PE (ground)
so that the strand and insulation can be pressed into the cable lug shaft.
.
CAUTION! Risk of fire due to chemical corrosion. Cable lugs must be
suitable for the conductor material and copper busbars being used.

7. Press on cable lug.
8. Affix shrink tubing (not included as standard) over the shaft of the ring cable lug
of the AC cable.
9. Fasten the input plate using the 6 screws [ T_30 / 6 Nm ]

Make the grid connection
4-pole connection, TN, TT system
↻
Grid connection is prepared.
1. Loosen nut and lock washer at the marked grounding point.
2. Lay the grounding cable onto the grounding point. Secure it with the nut and
lock washer provided [ W_17 / 10 Nm ].

3. Place the cable lug of cores L1 / L2 / L3 on the busbar in accordance with the la-
beling and secure it with a nut, screw and lock washer (fastening elements in
scope of supply) [ W_17
/
30 Nm ].
4. Check secure fit of all connected cables.
ð
The device is connected to the power grid.

NOTE
Observe the general grounding recommendation of the existing grid system.

When using aluminium cable lugs we recommend using cable lugs with galvanic tin-plating or alternatively, AL/
CU cable lugs as well as appropriate AL/CU washers.
Otherwise, the aluminium may be destroyed by the copper busbars in the presence of electrolytes (e.g. con-
densate).

When it is connection to a TN-C grid, the PEN grounding cable is connected to the ground earthing point.
