    - The unit manual. - The CVM-MINI-RS485 quick installation guide. If any problem is noticed upon reception, immediately contact the transport company and/or CIRCUTOR's after-sales service. 1.2.- TRANSPORT AND HANDLING The transport, loading and unloading and handling of the unit must be carried out with proper precautions and using the proper manual and mechanical tools so as not to damage it.
  • Page 7: Storage

    OPTIM HYB Series When unloading and moving the unit, use a forklift with forks long enough to support the entire length of the base. Otherwise, the forks should be long enough to support at least ¾ of said depth. The forks must be flat and supported firmly by the base. Raise the cabinet by placing the forks underneath the profile that supports the unit.

    OPTIM HYB Series 3.- INSTALLATION 3.1.- PRELIMINARY RECOMMENDATIONS In order to use the unit safely, it is critical that individuals who handle it follow the safety measures set out in the standards of the country where it is being used, use the personal protective equipment necessary, and pay attention to the vari- ous warnings indicated in this instruction manual.
  • Page 16: Preparation

    3.2.- PREPARATION The CIRCUTOR OPTIM HYB static capacitor banks come ready for easy installation and start- Remove the packaging of the unit and verify that its electrical features are suitable for connec- tion to the available mains.
  • Page 17: Connection Of The Capacitor Bank To The Mains

    OPTIM HYB Series Make sure the unit can be accessed easily. The environmental conditions of the location where the unit is installed must not exceed the limits set forth in the technical features (See “ 6.- TECHNICAL FEATURES” To ensure proper ventilation, the unit must be installed in a vertical position.
  • Page 18: Power Circuit

    OPTIM HYB Series 3.5.-POWER CIRCUIT Connect input terminals L1, L2, L3 and N (power circuit) to the mains using a cable with a prop- er section width, in accordance with the LVR, ITC-BT-19. Generally, the cables of the phases are according to the following colour code: L1 (black), L2 (brown), L3 (grey) and the neutral conductor N (blue).

    OPTIM HYB Series 3.7.- AUXILIARY CONTROL VOLTAGE Standard OPTIM HYB capacitor banks for 3 x 400 V / 1 x 230 V networks do not require an auxiliary power supply. 3.8.- EARTH CABLE CONNECTION Connect the earth terminal of the capacitor bank housed inside the operations panel of the unit (see to the exterior earth connection.
  • Page 20 OPTIM HYB Series The current value of the CT primary winding must be equal to or slightly greater than the size of the mains switch of the installation. Therefore, the CT must be able to measure the maximum current expected to be consumed by all the loads being compensated.
