3.2.1 Typical installation
3.2.2 Cable from the public AC power supply network or generator
Disconnect AC network before any wiring and connecting of the connector.
All battery chargers can operate automatically and equally on single phase networks from 90 to
265VAC and from 47 to 65Hz.
Generators
CRISTEC battery chargers are designed to operate from a generator.
Be careful: In some cases, the generators can produce high over voltages, in particular during
start-up phase. Before connecting the charger, please check its compatibility with the
characteristics of the generator: power, voltage, overvoltage, frequency, current, etc.
It’s highly advised to disconnect the charger from the AC network during the generator starting
phase.
Any damage to the charger due to a voltage surge will be excluded from the warranty.
The AC power cables must be at least equal to or greater than the values provided in the table below
(depending on the length of the cable):
Model
Minimum cross-section for
115VAC
Minimum cross-section
for 230VAC
The table below shows the maximum cross-section of the AC power supply cable admissible at the input of
the connector:
12-20, 12-30, 24-15 2 cables of 3 wires of 4mm²
