KV2 Audio ESP2000 - Manual (Page 7)

The burst current is the maximum rms current
during a period of approximately one second,
used to select the rating of most magnetic
breakers and to calculate the peak voltage
drop in long AC cables according to the formula:
V pk (drop)= I pk x R (cable total)
The ultimate short-term peak current is used
to select the rating of fast reacting magnetic
breakers. Use the table below as a guide
when selecting cable gauge size and circuit
breaker ratings for your operating voltage.

AC Cable Colour Coding
If the colours referred to in the diagram don’t
correspond to the terminals in your plug, use
the following guidelines: Connect the blue wire
to the terminal marked with an N or coloured
black. Connect the brown wire to the terminal
marked with an L or coloured red. Connect
the green and yellow wire to the terminal marked
with an E or coloured green or green and yellow.
Safety Summary
To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect
the amplifier from the AC mains before
installing the audio cable. Reconnect the power
cord only after making all signal connections.
Connect the amplifier to a two pole, three-
wire grounding mains receptacle.
The receptacle must be connected to a
fuse or circuit breaker. Connection to any
other type of receptacle poses a shock
hazard and may violate local electrical codes.
Do not allow water or any foreign object
to get inside the amplifier. Do not put objects
containing liquid on or near the
unit. To reduce the risk of overheating the
amplifier, avoid exposing it to direct
sunlight. Do not install the unit near heat-
emitting appliances, such as a room heater
or stove. This amplifier contains potentially
hazardous voltages. Do not attempt to
disassemble the unit. The unit contains no user
serviceable parts, repairs should be performed

a grounded outlet and plug.
CAUTION
!
The mains plug shall remain easy to operate.
The amplifier must be powered from the same
phase as other interconnected powered units.
