Megger EGIL User Manual

3. Grounding (Earthing)
▪
EGIL can be used only in electrical systems with
single ground.
▪ The user must verify before connecting this unit
to power, that High Voltage Ground and Low
Voltage Protective Ground create a single protective
ground with no measurable voltage potential
existing between these ground systems. If a voltage
potential is found between the ground systems
please consult local safety regulations.
4. Mains cord protective conductor
▪
EGIL is equipped with a power cord with integral
safety ground pin.
▪ The equipment must be connected to a grounded
mains outlet. Not doing so may result in fire or
electric shock.
▪ Do not defeat the safety ground in any manner.
5. Separate ground wire
▪
The EGIL case must also be grounded by the separate
protective ground wire with connection to the
Protective Conductor Terminal on top of the EGIL.
Check the continuity of the protective ground
wire before each use. Make sure the connector is
fastened properly to the EGIL Protective Conductor
Terminal. Make sure the connection point at the
ground system is fastened properly. Route the
wire so that it is unlikely to be walked on or that it
may loosen accidentally by someone or something
moving near it.
▪ The protective ground wire must not be loosened
while any input connector is attached to the
contacts of a high voltage circuit breaker or another
device being subject to inductive or capacitive
coupled interference from surrounding high voltage
wires.
6. Placement
▪
EGIL must be situated away from any heat sources
such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other
products that produce heat.
Do not place the EGIL in areas with excessive
dust, mechanical vibration or shock
▪ Do not use EGIL near water.
▪ Do not expose the EGIL to rain or moisture.
▪ Do not touch the plug with wet hands. Doing so
may result in electrical shock.
7. Accessories
▪
Do not use any accessories/cables not recommended
by the EGIL manufacturer as they may cause
hazards.
8. EMC Warning
▪
EGIL generates, uses, and can generate radio
frequency energy. If not installed and used
in accordance with this manual it may cause
interference to radio communications. EGIL has
been tested and found to comply with the limits
for measurement equipment designed to provide
reasonable protection against such interference
when used in an industrial environment. Operation
of EGIL in a commercial or residential area is likely
to cause interference, at which case, the user, at
his own expense, will be required to take whatever
measures that may be required to correct the
interference.
9. Cables
▪
Use only approved mains detachable cable set with
EGIL. Main supply cables shall be rated for the
maximum current for the equipment and the cable
shall meet the requirements of IEC 60227 or IEC
60245. Mains supply cables certified or approved
by a recognized testing authority are regarded as
meeting this requirement.
▪ To conform to the CE requirements for high
frequency radiation, shielded cables or cables with
added ferrite filters must be used for connection to
the inputs/outputs.
▪ Connecting cables must be routed so that they are
not likely to be walked on nor pinched by items
placed upon or against them. Do not pull on or tie
them. Pay particular attention to the connectors.
▪ To disconnect a cable, unlock the retainer (in case of
an XLR connector), grasp the connector firmly and
pull.
▪ If an input- or output cable becomes damaged, stop
using it. Use of a damaged cable may result in fire or
electric shock.
10. Power sources
▪
Only connect EGIL to an outlet protected with max
16 A overcurrent protection..
▪ Use an easily accessible power outlet. This will
ensure that you can disconnect the power quickly in
case of a problem.
▪ EGIL should be operated only from the type of
power source indicated on its nameplate.
