3.4 Cable installation (general information)
3.4.1 Using suitable cables
▸
The mains cable must comply with standard IEC 60227 or IEC 60245.
▸
Only use cables approved for use in the potentially explosive atmosphere involved.
▸
Only use cables with suitable outer diameters (→ Table 1).
▸
Fit connected cables fixed, i.e. fasten cables along the whole length.
3.4.2 Closing off cable inlets correctly
▸
Seal all cable inlets “vapor-proof” (almost gas-tight) before start-up.
▸
Only open those cable inlets to be used for installing cables. Keep the plugs. Refit the
original plug when a cable inlet must be closed again afterwards.
