Characteristics Of The Electrical Wiring - GIRBAU ED460 Installation Instructions Manual

5.1.1. Characteristics of the electrical wiring

See the Technical and Connection details for the machine for the corresponding model (Chapter 4) for
values regarding power consumption, electrical protection, wire section and number of wires.
Electrical cable. The conducting cable must meet the following specifications:
 The data referring to conductors are based on those of a copper multi-wire conductor.
 The length of the conductor from the RCD/GFCI and overcurrent branch protection to the dryer must not be
longer than 10 metres (33 ft).
 If using single-wire conductors, these must be encased within a safety conduit conduit (armoured or flexible
metallic pipe for ETL).
 The conductor must be secured against any pulling, crushing or rubbing.
 Additional specifications for the conductor: must comply with the statutory regulations of the country in which
it is to be installed.
Wire securing
 The protective cone must be removed from the electric cable input hole (E, Fig. 4.1) and replaced by a
device suitable for the section and type of cable to be used.
 In systems with a multi-wire cable, the attachment device must match the protective conduit.
RCD Residual current circuit breaker / GFCI Ground fault circuit interrupter. An RCD/GFCI must be
installed outside the dryer, for the individual protection of each machine.
Characteristics:
 Installed in an easily accessible place.
 For the number of poles and current rate: see ELECTRICAL CONNECTION details (Section 4.2).
 A type.
Overcurrent branch protection. An overcurrent branch protection, for the individual protection of each
machine must be installed.
Characteristics:
 UL 489 , CSA 22.2 No. 5.02 for ETL , IEC 60947-2 for CE and others.
 Number of poles and current rate: see ELECTRICAL CONNECTION details (Section 4.2).
 C type.
 It must isolate electrical source phases and the neutral cable.
 Mechanically lockable.
 Installed in an easily accessible place.
