NEUTRIK PowerCON HC - User Manual

Slide bushing ( 1 ) and chuck ( 2) onto the cable end.
If cable O.D.:
Less 15 mm please use reduction piece (3).
Prepare cable as shown.
Consider excessive length of PE conductor for
slackening.
Strip the wires.
Caution:
The conductor cross section for the rated current is
2
6 mm (10 AWG). In the exceptional case that the
conductor cross section area is smaller as the rated
cross section the maximum current load carrying
capacity has to be assessed according to the limit of
the conductor. Also it is advised to use wire end
sleeves for smaller cross section areas.
