Damage to the mains terminals
During electrical installation of the converter frame sizes AA to D, only cables with UL/cUL-
certified fork crimps can be used for the mains terminal connections; for frame size E, only
cables with UL/cUL-certified ring crimps can be used for the mains terminal connections.
