Electrical connection

DANGER
Faulty insulation
Risk of fatal injury from electric shock

• Use only cables that meet the specified installation regulations for voltage, current, insulation material, capacity, etc.
• Route cables so that they cannot be touched by any rotating parts.

CAUTION
Voltage 

The fan is a built-in component and has no disconnecting switch.

• Only connect the fan to circuits that can be switched off with an all-pole disconnection switch.
• When working on the fan, secure the system/machine in which the fan is installed so as to prevent it from being switched back on.

NOTE
Water ingress into wires or cables
Water ingress at the customer end of the cable can damage the device.

• Make sure the end of the cable is connected in a dry environment.

Only connect the device to circuits that can be switched off with an all-pole disconnection switch.

Requirements

• Check whether the information on the nameplate matches the connection data.
• Before connecting the device, make sure the power supply matches the device voltage.
• Only use cables designed for the current level indicated on the nameplate.
  For determining the cross-section, note the sizing criteria according to EN 61800-5-1. The protective earth must have a cross-section equal to or greater than that of the phase conductor. We recommend the use of 105 °C cables. Ensure that the minimum cable cross-section is at least AWG 26 / 0.13 mm².

Reactive currents

Because of the EMC filter integrated for compliance with EMC limits (interference emission and immunity to interference), reactive currents can be measured in the supply line even when the motor is at a standstill and the line voltage is switched on.

• The values are typically in the range < 50 mA
• At the same time, the effective power in this operating state (operational readiness) is typically < 2 W.

Locked-rotor protection

Due to the locked-rotor protection, the starting current (LRA) is equal to or less than the nominal current (FLA).

Routing of cables

It must not be possible for water to run along the cable towards the cable exit.

Fans installed lying flat
