Installing a CAP H
Connect the MAINS Power and Power on an AC CAP H
This section provides information for powering an AC CAP H. If you are installing a DC CAP H, go to
"Connect the MAINS Power and Power on a DC CAP H" on page 44.
A MAINS Power cable for AC ships with each CAP H; see Figure 7. Note that there are two types of MAINS
Power cables with different color coding. Make sure you are referring to
the specifications for the cable with
which you are working.

For the AC power supply connection, a minimum cross section of 1.5 mm2 is required. Each wire must
observe the applicable national regulations regarding loop impedance, voltage drop, and methods of
installation. Make sure to connect the correct voltage to the CAP
H.
MAINS power must be interruptible with an external delay-actions mains breaker. For the MAINS breaker,
observe the following recommendation:
120 Volt / 20 Amp max. or 240 Volt / 16 Amp, single-phase, 50 / 60 Hz AC service is
needed, i.e.
the external AC breaker should be 20 Amps max. for 120-Volt service or 13 - 16 Amps for 240-Volt
service.
