5. Initial Operation

5.1 Mains connection
Before commissioning, check that the rated
mains voltage and mains frequency, as stated
on the type plate match your power supply.
Always install an RCD / GFCI with a maximum
trip current of 30 mA upstream.
Pay attention to a possibly short feed line and
a large line cross-section of the mains cable.
