CIRCUTOR OPTIM P&P Series - Manual (Page 10)

3.3.- INSTALLATION LOCATION
It is important to maintain a minimum distance around the unit to facilitate cooling.
In self-supporting cabinets, the back and front sides of the cabinet must be kept at least 50 cm
away from walls of other units and other infrastructure to allow for ventilation.
In terms of the side walls, it is recommended that a separation of 10 cm be maintained between
adjacent cabinets.
On wall-mounted cabinets, it is recommended that at least 20 cm of separation be maintained
between the sides of adjacent cabinets.
Make sure the unit can be accessed easily.
The environmental conditions of the location where the unit is installed must not exceed the
limits set forth in the technical features (See “6.- TECHNICAL FEATURES”)
To ensure proper ventilation, the unit must be installed in a vertical position.
In accordance with the LVR, once the unit is installed, it must be protected against direct and in-
direct contacts; therefore, a circuit breaker and earth leakage protection for the capacitor bank
power supply line should be installed.
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 network to which it is being connected.
Also check the operating circuit voltage (contactors).
( See “3.7.- AUXILIARY CONTROL VOLTAGE” )
For feeding cables into the capacitor bank cabinet, always and only use the cable
entry points available for this purpose.
There is a cable entry point on the bottom (base of the cabinet) in all the models
and also an entry point on the side in some 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.
