3.6 Cable drum rack KTG M3
On the KTG M3 there are three different connection cables on lockable cable drums:
- mains cable
- earth cable
- high voltage cable
Attention: For transportation the brakes must be locked.
Mains cable
Mains cable is connecting line between power supply and Syscompact.
Mains connection
For mains connection a 220V power supply is required with a earth connection.
A minimum of a 16A fuse should be used to protect this circuit.
The Syscompact is manufactured with a power supply to suit the country.
This should be checked before switching on.
Protection earth cable
The protection earth cable is connected to the station earth (see fig. 1). The length of this
cable should be as short as possible by using the tapping ferrules on the cable.
The earth cable is equipped with tapping ferrules every 3m over the complete cable length.
Furthermore, an earth connection between metallic shield of connected cable and station
earth is necessary.
High voltage cable
The H.V. cable is connection line between Syscompact and cable under test. The high
voltage cable can be used on cable with an operating voltage of up to 32kV DC. Due to the
special insulation material (EPR) the high voltage cable remains flexible even at cold
temperatures and is easy to connect up to the cable end.
