2. Installation of the bus system
Installation of the bus system is described below.
Thewiringisimplementedaslinewiring(see2.2)
orascentralwiring(see2.3).
2.1 General requirements
Fig. VIII: Illustration of line wiring and
Fig. XI: Central wiring
1. Shieldconnectionforthebuslines
2. Powersupplyconnection
3. Conductorsofthechargingcable
4. Connectionterminalsforbusconductors
5. Bus insulation
The following requirements must be met for any
typeofwiring:
• Alwaysuseascreenedbusline(e.g.CAT6a)for
the cabling.
• Donotexceedthetotalpermissibleeldbus
length of 500 m.
• PreparethebuscableandtheWallboxforinstal-
lation (Figs. VI and VII).
• Ensurethatthereissufcientdistancebetween
theconductors,thepowersupply(2),the
chargingcable(3)andthebuslines(5).
• Securelyconnectthebuslinestothedesignated
screen connections.
• Cutoffunusedindividualconductorsattheend
of the insulation.
