3.5 Connecting
When connecting, avoid bending cable lugs or cables, or the use of other forms of mechanical
force on the terminals. Otherwise, leakage could disable the safety device (overpressure
disconnector).
Provide sucient mechanical strain relief for the cable.
Ensure rm xing of terminals, xing torque to be applied as per individual specication.
In any case, the maximum specied terminal current may not be exceeded. Please refer to the
technical data of the specic series.
Parallel connection of capacitors via the terminal is not recommended.
3.5.1 Connecting the supply cable
Cable specication
The connection cable must be of exible type, material should preferably be copper.
Do not use solid core cables.
Attach the supply cable only with the maximum permissible torque values.

Note
Prevent heating the cables.
The connection cables to the capacitor should be dimensioned for a current of at least 1.5 times
the rated current so that no heat is conducted into the capacitor.
