WARNING! Risk of electrical shock. Can cause equipment damage, injury and death.
Before beginning installation, verify that all external overcurrent protection devices are open (Off), and that
they are locked out and tagged appropriately to prevent activation during the installation. After the power
cables are connected, the terminal block’s protective cover must be reinstalled to remove the electric shock
hazard.
When connecting input and output cables, follow national and local wiring regulations, take the environment into account, and
refer to NFPA70, Table310-16. The recommended minimum cables and overcurrent protection is listed in Table 3.1 below,
and Table 3.2 below, are based upon an 86 °F(30 °C)ambient temperature.
