2.3. Electrical work
DANGER due to electrical voltage! 
Improper procedures during electrical work 
may result in fatal injuries caused by electrical 
voltage! Such work may only be carried out by 
aqualied electrician.
BEWARE of moisture! 
Ingress of moisture will result in damage to 
the switchgear. During installation and oper-

midity and ensure the switchgear is installed 
so it is overow-proof.
Our switchgears are operated with alternat-
ingorthree-phasecurrent.Thegoverning
national directives, standards and regulations 
(e.g.VDE0100)aswellastherequirementsofthe
local energy supply company must be observed.
The person operating the switchgear must know

If the switchgear has been switched off by 
aprotective device, it must not be switched on 
again until the fault has been corrected.
Use of electronic devices such as soft starters 
or frequency converters is not possible with this 
switchgear. Pumps must be connected directly.
2.4. Conduct during operation
When operating the switchgear, always follow the 
locally applicable laws and regulations for work
