 3.4.-CONNECTION OF THE CAPACITOR BANK TO THE MAINS

Check that the rated voltage of the capacitor bank matches the voltage between 

phases of the grid to which it is being connected. 

Also check the operating circuit voltage (contactors).

 

(See

 

“3.7.- AUXILIARY CON-

TROL VOLTAGE”

)

For feeding cables into the capacitor bank cabinet, always and only use the cable 

entry points available for this purpose. 

All models have a cable entry point on the bottom (base of the cabinet) as well as 

a cable entry point on the side. 

Figure 4

 shows the cable entry points of the 

OPTIM FRS P&P

 models. 

Figure 5

 shows the cable entry points of the 

OPTIM FR P&P

 models.

If another part of the cabinet is cut out to be used for cable entry, the CIR

-

CUTOR manufacturer's guarantee shall be rendered void

.

Do not cut holes in other parts of the cabinet for feeding cables through or for 

installing support brackets. 

It may produce trimmings that can cause short-circuits.
