9.8.1 240 V connection

The vehicle can be connected to an external 240 V power supply. The cable may

have a length of maximum 25 m.

9.8.2 Power cable for external 240 V connection

Power cable

z Three-core (3 x 2.5 mm

) flexible rubber sheathed cable

z Maximum 25 m in length

z 1 plug with earth contact

z 1 socket with earth contact (connectors to EN 60309)

Connection possibilities We recommend a CEE connection cable with CEE plug and CEE socket as the supply

line. If these connection possibilities are not available, we recommend the fol-

lowing combination with an isolated earth plug:

z Adapter cable:

CEE 17 socket with earth contact (Fig. 88,1) – Plug with earth contact (Fig. 88,2)

z Cable reel:

Socket with earth contact (Fig. 88,3) – Plug with earth contact (Fig. 88,4)

z Adapter cable:

Socket with earth contact (Fig. 88,5) – CEE 17 plug with earth contact (Fig. 88,6)

X The external 240 V power supply must be protected by fuse with a fault cur-

rent protection switch (FI-switches, 30 mA).

Z Always disconnect the electrical connection between the towing vehicle and

the caravan before the caravan is connected to the local power supply. In order

to carry this out, disconnect the plug from towing vehicle socket.

Z Check whether the power supply of the local utility company is suitable for the

electrical system and appliances of the caravan with regard to the dimen-

sioning of voltage, frequency and current. In addition, the cables or lines and

the connections have to be suitable.

Z For the connection points on camp sites (camping distributors) highly sensitive

fault current protection switches (FI-switches, 30 mA) are obligatory.

X Completely unwind the cable on cable drums to prevent overheating.

X Check cables/lines, plugs and connections for damage.
