The following conditions apply to the cables when the MCBs are selected from the following
table:
• Ambient temperature 40 °C or 55 °C
• Max. 1 conductor pair, bundled
• Conductor limit temperature 70 °C for normal operation
• Cable length max.:
– 10 m for the supply cables
– 30 m for signal lines
• To be routed separately from other cables and conductors carrying operating current.
• Cable type: PVC conductor cable
