6.2 Connecting the cables
The power cord of connect should be selected according to the following specifications sheet.
Rated current of appliance Nominal cross-sectional area (mm²)
>3 and ≤6 0.75
>6 and ≤10 1
>10 and ≤16 1.5
>16 and ≤25 2.5
The cable size and the current of the fuse or switch are determined by the maximum current indicated
on the nameplate which located on the side panel of the unit. Please refer to the nameplate before
selecting the cable, fuse and switch.
