SAFETY GUIDELINES(continued) ENGLISH CAUTION You may have serious injury or your property may be damaged unless you follow the instruction below. · Do not coil or wind the power cord. This may cause excessive heat resulting in a fire. · Caution for 200 - 240V operation only This equipment relies on the protective devices in the building installation for short - circuit and over - current protection. Refer to the following table for the suitable number and location of the protective devices which should be provided in the building installation. INFORMATIVE EXAMPLES OF PROTECTIVE DEVICES IN SINGLE - PHASE EQUIPMENT OR SUB - ASSEMBLIES Protection against Case A: Equipment to be connected to POWER SYSTEMS with earthed neutral reliably identified, except for Case C below. Case B: Equipment to be connected to any supply, including IT POWER SYSTEMS and supplies with reversible plugs, except for Case C below. Case C: Equipment to be connected to 3 - wire power systems with earthed neutral reliably identified. Earth faults Overcurrent Earth faults Overcurrent Earth faults Overcurrent Minimum number of fuses or circuit - breaker poles 1 1 2 1 2 2 Location Phase conductor Either of the two conductors Both conductors Either of the two conductors Each phase conductor Each phase conductor Verify that the protective devices in the building installation meets the conditions in the table prior to installing the equipment. · Remove the power cord for complete isolation!
