This may have the following causes:
- Passage points, where connection cables are passed through
windows or doors.
- Kinks where the connection cable has been improp-erly fastened or
routed.
- Places where the connection cables have been cut due to being
driven over.
- Insulation damage due to being ripped out of the
wall outlet.
- Cracks due to the insulation ageing. Such damaged electrical
connection cables must not be used and are life-threatening due to
the insulation damage. Check the electrical connection cables for
damage regu-larly. Make sure that the connection cable does not
hang on the power network during the inspection. Electrical
connection cables must comply with the ap-plicable VDE and DIN
provisions. Only use connection cables with the marking .H05VV-F“.
The printing of the type designation on the connection cable is
mandatory.
