Damage to the terminal box 
If you incorrectly carry out work on or in the terminal box, this can result in material 
damage. You must observe the following to avoid damaging the terminal box: 
•  Ensure that the components inside the terminal box are not damaged. 
•  It must be ensured that there are no foreign bodies, dirt or moisture in the terminal box. 
•  Close the terminal box using the original seal so that it is dust tight and water tight. 
•  Use O-rings or suitable flat gaskets to seal entries in the terminal box (DIN 42925) and 
other open entries. 
 
Please observe the tightening torques for cable entries and other screws.

According to IEC / EN 60034-8, the following basic definitions apply to the terminal markings 
for 3-phase machines:  
Table 6- 1  Terminal markings using the 1U1-1 as an example 
Code for split winding, where applicable. Special case for pole assignment for 
pole-changing machines. 
A lower index signifies a lower speed. 
Phase designation U, V, W 
Index for winding start (1) or end (2) or if there is more than one connection per 
winding 
Additional indices for cases in which it is obligatory to connect parallel power 
feed cables to several terminals with otherwise identical markings
