Connecting
6.4 Connecting the external power unit
Please refer to the next section for options on how to position the two plates and how the
unit can be divided.
The following electrical connections between the power unit (line voltage) and the
electronics must have short-circuit protection:
• Secondary sides of the firing pulse transformers
• Voltage measurement equipment
• Fuse monitoring equipment
Short-circuit protection measures must be implemented when laying these cables (which
carry a line voltage). The rms currents in the cables referred to are lower than 0.5 A.
• Method 1:
• Method 2:
74
WARNING
Short-circuit proof cables which burn from the inside when overloaded without bursting
their insulation
Cables protected as close to the power unit as possible with fuses. Fuses must have the
required cut-off capacity!
