3 Important information on safety
This section deals with general and system-specific regulations. It includes
important information for your safety and the safety of the entire plant.
Sections flagged with the warning symbol to the left contain safety-related
requirements and restrictions that must be adhered to at all times to prevent
physical injury and equipment damage.
Please comply with the following general regulations during engineering and
execution:
•Electrical and mains power ordinances for the given country.
•Other applicable, national regulations.
•Building installation regulations for the given country.
•Regulations of the facility supplying electricity.
•Diagrams, cable lists, dispositions, specifications and orders by the customer or
authorized engineering office.
•Third-party regulations, e.g. by the general contractor or building owner.
3.1 System-specific regulations
The electrical safety for building automation and control systems by Siemens
Building Technologies is essentially based on safely separating low voltage from
mains voltage.
Application as per SELV or PELV pursuant to HD 384 "Electrical installation of
buildings" depending on the grounding (⊥AC24V) of the low voltage:
Ungrounded = Safety Extra-Low Voltage (SELV).
Grounded = Protection by Extra Low Voltage (PELV).
Device-related safety is guaranteed, among others, by
– Low-voltage power supply AC 24 V per SELV or PELV
– Double insulation between mains voltage AC 230 V and SELV/PELV circuits and
housing.
Comply with specific regulations for electrical wiring per the following sections.
Observe the following points when grounding ⊥AC 24 V (system neutral):
•Operating voltage of AC 24 V is permitted in principle for both grounded as well
as non-grounded system neutral. Local regulations and customers apply
accordingly.
•Grounding may be required or not allowed for functional reasons.
•AC 24 V systems are generally grounds unless otherwise not recommended
by the manufacturer.
•In order to avoid ground loops, connect systems with PELV to the ground at one
location only (especially for transformers), if no other indication exists.

•Use safety insulating transformers as per EN 61558 with
double insulation designed for 100% duty to supply
SELV or PELV circuits..
•Power taken from the transformer should be at least 50%
of nominal load for efficiency reasons (effectiveness).
•Transformer nominal power should be at least 25 VA. For
smaller transformers, the ratio of open circuit voltage to
full load is unfavorable
(> + 20%).
Operational

Transformers on the secondary side correspond to the
actual load of all connected devices as per transformer
sizing:
– AC 24 V line (system potential) must always be fused.
– We required, an additional line

(system neutral).
Mains fuse Transformer, primary side:
Installation box fuse (control circuit fuse).
Any insertion or drawing of dangerous voltages to the system's low-voltage circuit,
e.g. caused by improper wiring directly places people at risk can may result in the
partial or complete destruction of the building automation and control system!
All wiring existing the building is at severe risk of over-voltage caused by
atmospheric discharges (lightening). Overvoltages can be inductively, capacitive or
galvanically into electronic systems and may cause faults or even destroy sensitive
components.
This overvoltage must be diverted to the earth to limit the damage. This may be
achieved with the help of gas-filled surge arrestors, varistors and diodes as well as
capacitors and chokes.
Specialized companies (e.g. Siemens, Phoenix) combines these elements into
protective components to provide optimum protection for various systems.
Spikes and high-frequency interference may occur in areas with high levels of
interference. The disturbances not only impact the transformer on the primary side,
but may also influence secondary connected components.
A mains filter should be attached on the primary transformer if such interference is
anticipated. Mains filters should be installed as close to the network transformer as
possible and grounded.

Peak loads occur when switching inductive loads that may cause faults to the
system. In addition, sparks may damage switching contacts. Power components
must include effective protection against disturbances to prevent such faults.
Inductivity (transformers, fuses, relays) are wired directly at the terminals using
transzorbs, MOVs (metalloxyd varistors) or RC elements. The breakdown voltage
of the transzorbs or MOVs must equate to the 1.7 to 2 times the applicable nominal
voltage.
Inductive DC consumers can also be suppressed using diodes or RC elements.
The transzorbs, MOVs, diodes or RC elements must be optimally matched to the
power components and mounted using short wiring.
3.2 Device-specific regulations
Devices must have the required insulation of the power circuits from each other to
be able to connect them directly without additional insulation.
Connections via interfaces increase the risk of distributing dangerous voltage
through the building. Ensure that the required insulation is available at all times and
installed per applicable regulations.
The supply terminals of the PXC3... (terminals 7 and 8) bare a max current of
10 A, otherwise the pins get too warm.

You must ensure, however, that sufficient ventilation is available to maintain
the permissible ambient temperature for the devices (inside the cabinet /
installation box).
Outside, the temperature should be 10 K lower.
5.3.2 Space requirements
Space requirements in the installation box can be calculated as follows:
•Number of I/O modules x 64 mm.
•Number of power modules x 96 mm.
•Number of bus interface modules x 32 mm.
•DESIGO PXC3 room automation station x 162 mm.
•Transformers
•Terminal strips.
All connection terminals must be connected unhindered and inspected. We
recommend at least 30 mm between the modules and the cable ducts.
This results in the following distance of the standard rails/cable ducts:
90 mm (module width) + (b = cable duct width) + 2 x ≥30 mm (available space for
wiring).

5.4 EMC compliant installation box
One duty of the installation box is to reduces electromagnetic interference. The
influence depends on the internal and/or external EMC disturbances of the
installation box.
The internal EMC disturbance can be, for example, an inverter in the same
installation box; an external disturbance a nearby RF transmitter.
The installation boxes are the reference point for shielding cables and housings.
They must decouple faults and short-circuit surges.
The following generally applicable rules apply to an EMC compliant installation box:
•Interior walls cannot be painted if difficult EMC conditions prevail.
•Grates and rails must be conductive and may not be painted.
•Screws are attached directly on blank areas in the installation box.
•Grounding connections with doors through flat copper banks (eventually
including a connection to normal protective grounds).
Strongly disruptive devices must be separated as far as possible from victim when
setting up the installation box. Special attention must be placed on the connections
between the two device groups:
•Use separate installation boxes for strong disturbances and victims.
•Place stronger source of disturbances outside the installation box. Do not violate
safety requirements.
•Separate the device groups within the installation box with a separating plate.
•Cable screens must be installed as close as possible to the installation box
insert on its metal structure and connected to the building's potential
equalization.
•Screen connection terminals must be used and suitable installation space be
provided to this end
(see drawing on Page 19).

5.5 EMC compliant wiring
If heavy EMC disturbance is expected in an installation box or in the building, the
following wiring rules can better protect potential victims:
•In the installation box, separate unshielded lines from shielded lines at the
terminal connections and cable ducts.
•Avoid cable loops.
•Plan sufficient space to correctly connect the cable screens.
•Connect cable screens to the installation box directly at the inlet to the
installation box. Leave screen intact to the module.
•Integrate the installation box with the building's potential equalization.
When setting up cable ducts, separate strongly disruptive cables from victims.
•Disruptive cable: Motor cables, energy cables.
•Possible victims: Control cables, low-voltage cables, interface cables,
LAN cables, digital and analog signal cables.
•Both types of cables may be in the same cable duct, but should be place is
separate compartments.
•If not three-sided duct with separating wall is available, the disruptive cables
must be separated by at least 150 mm from the others or placed in separate
ducts.
•The crossing of strongly disruptive cables should be at a right angle to potential
victims.
•Comply with the manufacturer's installation recommendations for the selection of
shielded or unshielded cables. In general, unshielded twisted pair cables have
sufficient EMC properties for building-technical applications (including data
applications.
•Unshielded round wires can also be used for the island bus (wire CS, CD).
•Benefit: Unscreened cables do not need to be coupled to the surrounding
ground.
Screening improves EMC properties. Please note the following, however:
•The grounding (common reference point), is tasked with diverting and short
circuiting existing interference voltage.
•Special emphasis must be placed on the grounding concept to prevent
grounding loops or differences in potential○.
•Against low-frequency interference: Ground the screen on one side only.
•Screens must be connected on both sides with the ground against high
frequencies. Potential equalization must never take place via the cable screens.
A separate potential equalization must be installed when missing.
Alternative: hard wired earthing on one side, via a capacitor on the other side.
•The cable screens must be properly connected to the ground to achieve a solid
level of screening (see below).
•Island bus extension, see: TX-I/O engineering and installation, CM110562)

6 Wiring of field devices (without bus)
As a rule, comply with local regulations for electrical installations.
These take precedence over any notes in this document.
6.1 Power lines AC 230 V
The sizing and fusing of the power lines are oriented to overall load and local
regulations.
6.2 Wiring for Triac outputs AC 24 V
The following applies for wiring to actuating devices such as valves, damper
actuators or protection connected to the Triac outputs:
•Use stranded, 2 or multiple core round cables, screened (standard off-the-shelf
installation cable).
•Single wires may not be used.
•Wiring may be laid together with power lines (AC 230 V).
They must be isolated from the power lines per regulations. Isolation must meet
PELV requirements.
•Wiring can not be led in the same cable as the power lines.
•See table below for maximum single cable lengths.
However, the length must not exceed 300 m (EM interference).
•Use cable cross section suited for 10 A according to local regulations
(T 10A fuse in the power supply module / room automation station).
