AC cable requirements


  • Aluminum or copper cables must be used.

  • The conductors must be solid, stranded or fine-stranded. When using fine-stranded wire, bootlace ferrules must be used.

  • The maximum permitted temperature for the terminal block of the AC connection of 90°C must be observed.

  • Cable cross-section L1, L2, L3: 50 mm² to 150 mm² (300 kcmil to 1 AWG)

  • Cable cross-section grounding conductor when using copper cable: 10 mm² to 50 mm² (1/0 AWG to 6 AWG)

  • Cable cross section grounding conductor when using aluminum cable: 25 mm² to 50 mm² (1/0 AWG to 4 AWG)

  • Maximum permissible temperature: 90°C
