2.18 INSTALLATION
2.18.1 POSITIONING
The control panel must have a protection rating (IP) suitable for the area in which it will be installed:
IP 42 (normal supply) for closed areas;
IP 55 in the case of possible splashing of water or for control panels exposed to rain.
WARNING !!!
It is advisable not to install the control panel further away than 20 meters from the generator.
This requirement is due to the excessive currents caused by lightening that hits the public mains causing the voltage inside the control panel to
rise excessively if the connection line exceeds 20 meters.
If there is no other choice than installing the control panel further away than 20 meters, our engineering
department can provide you with various technical solutions.
2.18.2. EARTH CONNECTIONS (PE)
WARNING !!
To ensure the reliability of the system all of its components must be connected to earth.
