Landis+Gyr Appendix H - Power Cable Installation
inside the box, connect the power leads to wires going to the mains per local practice. Connections to
the mains must use UV-stable wiring. As long as the wire is UV-stable and rated for outdoor use, the
wire model and manufacturer may be selected by the programs. Part number 18-1033 wire is
acceptable and recommended.
In published examples, Collector cables are shown going through conduit. Conduit is not required
for Concentrators, but the entrance to the junction box should be through a clamp at the bottom of
the junction box. Junction boxes do not have a part number and are available through local vendors.
As always, electrical connections need to meet the requirements of the local utility and local
ordinances.
The following diagram shows an installation using a junction box with a Concentrator. If
105704-XXX cable is used, then this installation procedure is required.

If the 105627-XXX cable is used, then the cable can go directly to the mains, provided drip loops are
made at the point of contact with the mains and at the Concentrator. The drip loop at the point of
attachment to the mains should rise above the level of the point of attachment.
