Note: The 200A (AFQm-xxx-200C), 300A (AFQm-xxx-300C) and 400A (AFQm-xxx-400C) cabinets
are made up of 2, 3 and 4 100A devices in parallel. Both the parallel configuration and connection are
factory-set.
The 140A (AFQm-xxx-140C), 210A (AFQm-xxx-210C) and 280A (AFQm-xxx-280C) cabinets are made
up of 2, 3 and 4 70A devices in parallel.
Note: Both the parallel configuration and connection are factory-set.
To connect multiple cabinets in parallel, follow these steps:
1.- Select the cabinet that is to contain the “master” device.
2.- Connect the “master” cabinet. The current transformers are only connected to the “master” cabinet.
3.- Connect the “slave” cabinets.
4.- Connect all of the devices using the communication cables (Table 16).
Connect the OUT terminal from the final slave device in the “master” cabinet to the IN terminal from
the “master” device of the following cabinet, and the OUT terminal from the final “slave” device in this
cabinet to the IN terminal of the “master” device of the following cabinet, and so on (Figure 31).
