Connecting Cables
•
Connect cables in accordance with the local installation laws and regulations.
•
To prevent poor cable connection due to overstress, leave enough slack before connecting the
cables to the appropriate ports.

Preparations
S and S
are the conductor cross-sectional areas of AC power cables and PE cables respectively.

The value of S
is valid only if the conductors of the PE cable and AC power cable use the same
p
material. If the materials are different, ensure that the conductor of the PE cable with a proper cross-
sectional area produces a conductance equivalent to that of the cable specified in the table.
Type
Outdoor cable and M10 OT/DT
terminals
Three-core outdoor copper cable
with dual-layer protection
• If you connect a ground cable to
the ground point on the chassis
shell, you are advised to use a
three-core (L1, L2, and L3)
outdoor cable and M12 OT/DT
terminals (L1, L2, and L3).
• If you connect a ground cable to
the ground point in the
maintenance compartment, you
do not need to prepare a PE
cable but are advised to use a
four-core (L1, L2, L3, and PE)
outdoor cable, M12 OT/DT
terminals (L1, L2, and L3), and
M10 OT/DT terminals (PE).
You are advised to use a single-
core outdoor cable and M12
OT/DT terminals.
