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.
Do not connect or disconnect the power cord at the mains connector while power is on. Turn off mains
power before connecting the power cord at the CAP H, then, engage mains again.
