CAUTION 
 
The voltage drop between the start of the consumer's installation and the consuming 
equipment being supplied should generally not exceed 4% in operation with rated values. 
The relevant tables in Supplement 5 of the standard DIN VDE 0100 should be consulted. 
The following note must be included in the technical user documentation: The machine 
manufacturer must ensure that the voltage drop between the start of the load system and 
the PDS in operation with rated values does not exceed 4 %."  
(VDE 0100-520) 
Checking the documented development stipulations regarding the above requirement, 
implementation in the production documentation and execution in the device. 
 
DANGER 
 
When installing the cabinet, you must cover the ventilation slots to prevent drill swarf, end 
sleeves, and so on from falling into the enclosure, which could result in short-circuits or 
damage the insulation. 
Safety regulations governing shock protection must be observed. See also EN 60204-1.
