In order for claims made under the terms of the guarantee to be accepted, BENDER must acknowledge that the product is faulty and that the fault con- cerned cannot be attributed to the incorrect handling or modification of equipment, non- compliant use or abnormal operating conditions.
3. System description 3.1 Features 3.1.1 Areas of application Installations featuring high-resistance neutral-earthing are used whenever power supply fail- ure would incur significant costs due to production downtimes (e.g. the automotive industry, chemicals industry). With this type of installation, an insulation fault between a phase and the earth will not result in failure of the power supply.
System description 3.1.3 Mechanical design The RC48N-70... ground-fault and neutral-grounding monitoring system consists of a steel plate housing containing the following built-in components. Assembly plan RC48N-70-10A: ALARM RC48N-935 CD1000 W0-S15 W0-S15 Mounting plate: Used for mounting all the components directly or by means of DIN- rails.
4. Installation and connection Before mounting the device and working on the device connections, make sure that the voltage has been disconnected. Failure to comply with this requirement will expose personnel to the risk of electric shock. Furthermore, the electrical installation may sustain damage and the device be Danger ! destroyed beyond repair.
