2. INSTALLATION

Do not connect the equipment to the mains before the installation is complete.

Do not attempt to move or hang the equipment mechanically (e.g. with a hoist) from the handle on the power source

unit. The handle is meant only for manual lifting.

Place the machine on a horizontal, stable and clean ground. Protect the machine from rain and direct sunshine. Check

that there is enough space for cooling air circulation in the machine vicinity.

Before installation

•Make sure to acknowledge and follow the local and national requirements regarding installation and use of

high voltage units.

•Check the contents of the packages and make sure the parts are not damaged.

•Before you install the power source on site, see the requirements for the mains cable type and fuse rating given

in the "Technical data" on page41 chapter.

Do not connect the machine to the mains before the installation is complete.

Only an authorized electrician is allowed to install the mains cable.

Distribution network

Master 315: Provided that the public low voltage short circuit power at the point of common coupling is higher than

or equal to the value stated on the list below, this equipment is compliant with IEC 61000-3-11 and IEC 61000-3-12

and can be connected to public low voltage systems. It is the responsibility of the installer or user of the equipment to

ensure, by consultation with the distribution network operator if necessary, that the system impedance complies with

the impedance restrictions.

•Master 315 G: 2.1 MVA

•Master 315 GM: 2.1 MVA

According to the EMC classification (Class A), the Master 315 equipment is not intended to be used in residential loc-

ations where the electrical power is provided by the public low-voltage supply system.
