Cable specification for the power supply of the external blower unit in connection box
The following demands with regard to wire cross-sectional area and specific resistance
must be considered for the supply cable to ensure the power supply for the external blower
unit.
A separate power supply is required for the blower unit for distances greater than 130 m
between the MCU-N and external blower unit. In this case, use the cooling air supply in
connection box with connection 230 V AC.
