Fig. 8.4: Typical “Schuko Type” Receptacle and Plug
In the “Schuko” receptacle (2), two round female cylindrical contacts (2.1) are internally
connected to the current-carrying conductors of the AC output section of the inverter.
The 2 spring contacts (2.2) on the periphery are for “equipment grounding” connec-
tion and are internally connected to the metal chassis of the inverter. The metal chassis
of the inverter is connected to the designated Ground. When the “Schuko” plug (1) of
the power cord of the AC device is plugged into the corresponding “Schuko” receptacle
on the inverter (2 in fig. 8.4 or 5 in figs. 6.1, 6.2 and 6.3), the chassis of the AC device is
automatically connected to the designated Ground through the equipment grounding
conductor that is connected to the spring contacts (2.2, fig 8.4) of the “Schuko” recepta-
cle on the inverter (5 in figs. 6.1, 6.2 and 6.3)
WARninG!
Because the “Schuko” plug (1) can be inserted in either direction into the
Schuko receptacle (2), the “Schuko” connection system is not polarized (i.e. Line
and Neutral could get reversed). Hence, both the current carrying conductors
are isolated from the chassis of the inverter and there is No NEUTRAL. Each of
the 2 female contacts (2.1) of the “Schuko” receptacle will be at an elevated
voltage with respect to the chassis of the inverter as follows and should not be
touched:
- PST-15S: 90 VAC to 140 VAC
- PST-30S: 10 VAC to 140 VAC
Please note that the voltage between the 2 female contacts (2.1) of the
“Schuko” receptacle connected to the 2 internal current carrying conductors
of the inverter will be 230 VAC.
