PKM150RU Installation Manual TRI156.INS.2022 version 2 3 June 2022 Cable Termination 6.2.1 AC Protective Earth Connect the protective earth cable on the AC filter tray to the main earth bar on the rear of the cable entry module using the supplied 120mm² earth cable. 6.2.2 High Power 3-Phase AC Input Connect the AC Input cables to the Terminals as shown below.
6.2.3 High Power DC Output Remove all DC HP covers situated in the centre of the PKM150 RU. Connect the High-Power DC Output cables to the DC Ports using M10 nuts and washers, tightening to 30Nm and applying copper jointing compound. Orientate cabling as shown.
Termination – Emergency Power-Off Wiring 6.2.4 The PKM150 RU has several auxiliary control wires that must be terminated within the cabinet. These wires can be split into two groups – wiring between the upstream supply switchboard and the PKM150 RU, and wiring between the PKM150 RU and any installed PKM150 CS units.
This is to ensure that under emergency fault conditions (such as opening of a door while the unit is powered, or triggering of the unit’s tilt switch), the PKM150 RU will be able to remove power safely and quickly from the cabinet.
