 is decisive 
The matching transformer requires a rated power S
n
 of 21 kVA for a short-circuit voltage u
k
 
of 1%. 
n2
 for the matching transformer can be reduced by reducing u

. In the examples listed 
above, the power drawn from other loads has not been taken into account.
 
 
Operating line connection components via an autotransformer 
An autotransformer can be used to adapt the voltage in the range up to 3-ph. 480 V AC 10 
%.  
Danger to life through electric shock due to high voltage 
If the voltage applied is too high for the existing insulation, there is a danger of electric 
shock. 
• Use an isolating transformer for voltages from 3-ph. 480 V + 10 %.
Damage when using an autotransformer 
If an autotransformer is used, safe electrical separation is no longer possible for a line 
voltage higher than 480 V +10 %. This can lead to damage or a fault in the device. 
• In this case, use an isolation transformer.
