Document Number:
2271-5649, 10-52315 Rev-
Safety Information
| CAUTION – Warning or Hazard that needs further explanation than the
label on unit can provide. Consult User’s Guide for further information.
---|---
| Electrical Shock Hazard – Symbol (a lightning bolt in a triangle) precedes
an electric shock hazard CAUTION or WARNING safety statement.
| ESD Sensitive product, use proper grounding and handling techniques when
installing or servicing product.
| Do not throw in trash, use proper recycling techniques or consult
manufacturer for proper disposal.
| Unit is a Listed device per Underwriters Laboratories. It has been
investigate to ANSI/UL® 508 standards for Industrial Control Switches and
equivalent to CSA C22.2 #14. For more detail search for File E73741 on
www.ul.com.
****| Unit is compliant with European Union directives. See Declaration of
Conformity for further details on Directives and Standards used for
Compliance.
Safety Notes
WARNING! To avoid damage to property and equipment, injury and loss of
life, adhere to applicable electrical codes and standard wiring practices
when installing and operating this product. Failure to doso could result in
damage, injury and death.
WARNING! All service including inspection, installation, wiring,
maintenance, troubleshooting, fuse or other user-serviceable component
replacement must be performed only by properly qualified personnel. Service
personnel must read this manual before proceeding with work. While service is
being performed, other, unqualified personnel should not work on the unit or
be allowed in the immediate vicinity.
WARNING! When in use, the power controller is connected to dangerous
voltages. Do not remove the protective covers without first disconnecting and
preventing power from being restored while servicing the unit.
WARNING! Electric Shock Hazard: when the power controller has been
energized, after shutting off the power, wait at least one minute for internal
capacitors to discharge before commencing work that brings you in to contact
with power connections or internal components.
WARNING: The installation must be protected by fuses. Semiconductor fuses
are classified for UL® as supplementary protection for semiconductor devices.
They are not approved for branch circuit protection.
NOTE! The nominal current is specified for ambient temperatures at or
below 50°C. Ensure the application design allows for adequate cooling of each
power controller. The power controller must be mounted vertically. The cooling
design must prevent air heated by one power controller from causing power
controllers mounted above to exceed the ambient operating temperature limit.
When power controllers are mounted side by side allow a minimum spacing of
15mm between them.
NOTE! Use only copper cables and wires rated for use at 75°C or greater.
Identifying the Products
The product identification label includes not only the part number, but also the voltage and current ratings.
Environment
- Ambient operating temperature: 0 to 50°C. See User Manual for de-rating.
- Ambient temperature maximum varies depending on unit
- Mount power controllers vertically
- 5 to 90% RH (relative humidity), non-condensing
- Up to 6560 feet (2000m) above see level maximum
- Storage temperature. -40 to 85°C maximum
- Pollution degree: Installation Category III, Pollution degree 2
- Install away from direct sun light, conductive dust, corrosive gas, vibration, water and corrosive salts.
SCCR Rating
- SCCR Rating 200,000A up to 480 VAC
Terminal Identification
The following illustrations show the locations for line power, load, earth ground and signal connections.
Connection Locations DIN-A-MITE Style A
Line Connections
Line connections for DIN A are: 1, 2. Load connections are: 3, 4.
Grounding
Use a grounding con-ductor terminal plate (fork terminal) having upturned lugs
or the equivalent to hold the wire in position. 6 mm2 (10 AWG) wire.
Connection Locations DIN-A-MITE Style B
Single-phase Output
3-phase, 2-leg Output

Wiring Instructions
Choose line and load wire size based on National Electric Code NFPA 70 or local electric codes for the current to be carried. When using 90°C wire, choose wire gauge based on 75°C table. See the table below for ground wire size recommendations.
| Branch Circuit Protection Rating | Ground Wire Size |
|---|---|
| 15 Amps | 14 AWG |
| 20 Amps | 12 AWG |
| 30 – 60 Amps | 10 AWG |
| 100 Amps | 8 AWG |
| 100 – 125 Amps | 6 AWG |
