Table 3.3 Terminal-Block Electrical Specifications
To make the terminal-block connections:
1. Loosen the screws from the cable-entry/conduit-box cover, and pull the cables through the knockout leaving
some slack for connection.
NOTE: We recommend using the knockouts to install input and output wiring in separate conduit. You must use a
suitable cable gland or risk electric shock.
2. Referring to the appropriate terminal-block connection instructions, connect the cables to the corresponding
input/output terminals and use a torque wrench to turn the screw clockwise until tightened as specified in Table
3.3 above.
• Connecting to Terminal Blocks on 5 kVA and 6 kVA Model
• Connecting to Terminal Blocks on 8 kVA and 10 kVA Models
• Connecting to Terminal Blocks on 16 kVA and 20 kVA models
3. Re-install the cable-entry/conduit-box cover, and tighten the screws.
