Electrical Installation
This section describes the following:
The need for, and selection of, potential transformers (PTs) and current
transformers (CTs).
Auxiliary supply (control power), PT (VT), and CT connections.
For best results, ensure the following specifications:
Torque driver preferred, hand screwdriver OK.
TIP: Phillips head is preferred, but flat head is acceptable. Do not use
Pozidriv tips.
Screw head diameter = 3.5 mm (0.14 in.), TIP shaft diameter < 5 mm (0.2
in.).
IMPORTANT – Screwdriver shafts inserted angularly or of diameter ≥ 5 mm
(0.2 in.) will get stuck in the cover
Tightening Torque: 0.25 to 1 N.m (2.21 to 8.85 lb-in)
Loosening Torque: 0.8 to 1 N.m (7.08 to 8.85 lb-in)
Screw Travel: 6 mm (0.24 in.) less wire thickness
Torque > 1 N.m (8.85 lb-in) may strip the screw or break the cover.
Connecting cable
Table 5-3: Connecting cable
> 7.5 A
Or 2.5 mm
2
/ 14 AWG
minimum
Schneider Electric recommends the use of insulated sleeved U
lugs (2.5 mm
2
/14 AWG) for wiring terminals.
NOTE: Installations should include a disconnecting device, like a switch or circuit breaker, with
clear ON/OFF markings to turn-off the auxiliary supply (control power). The disconnecting device
should be placed within the reach of the equipment and the operator.
