Terminal lug requirements:
☐ Use tin-plated terminal lugs only.
☐ For the connection, only the supplied screws, washers and nuts must be used.
☐ The terminal lugs must be designed according to the temperature. Temperature: +95°C
☐ The width of the terminal lugs must exceed the washer diameter. Washer diameter: 32mm. This will ensure that
the defined torques are effective over the whole surface.
Cable requirements:
☐ Do not attach more than one cable to each connection bracket.
☐ Use copper or aluminum cables only.
☐ Maximum cable cross-section:400mm².
Torques of the power connections:
Type of terminal lug Torque
Tin-plated aluminum terminal lug on copper bar 37Nm
Tin-plated copper terminal lug on copper bar 60Nm
Tin-plated aluminum or copper terminal lug on aluminum bar 37Nm
Additionally required mounting material (not included in the scope of delivery):
☐ Clean cloth
☐ Ethanol cleaning agent
Procedure:
1. Disassemble the panels (see Section7.2.1, page40).
2. Disassemble the protective covers (see Section7.2.2, page41).
3. Prepare the cables for connection (see Section7.3, page44).
4. Clean the tin-plated contact surfaces in the connection area with the non-woven abrasive until they have a light
metallic sheen.
