 Overview

1. 1.There should be sufficient electric clearance and creepage distance between

pieces of electric equipment in order to ensure safe and reliable operation of
equipment.

2.The installation position of fuse and the space between them should be helpful for
replacing the melt.

3. The linear distance between contactor & wiring terminal of thermal relay and
wiring groove would be 30mm.

4. The linear distance between other current-carrying components and wiring

groove should be 30mm.

5. The linear distance between control terminal and wiring groove should be
20mm.

6. The linear distance between power terminal and wiring groove should be 30mm.

7. The linear distance between control components including intermediate relay and
wiring groove would be 20mm.

8. Follow the instructions of user manual when installing electric components.

9. Make sure no extra stress posed to its internal structure when fixing the
equipment.

10. Follow the instructions of technical manual when installing a low-voltage

breaker. If no instructions, vertical installation is recommended and the inclination
should be less than 5°.

11. Strictly follow the instructions of user manual when installing the electric
components which have electromagnetic parts or rely on the gravity to reset.

12. According to the structure, bracket, metallic board or insulation board can be
used to fix low-voltage equipment on the wall, column or other members. The
metallic board and insulation board should be flat. When the card-track is used, it
should match with low-voltage equipment and be closely fixed with the board
through clamps and bolts. Deformed and unqualified card-tracks are prohibited.

13. Component accessories should be complete and intact.

14. Electric components should be firmly installed and can be disassembled.

15. Fasteners should be galvanized or coated with metallic anti-corrosion layer.

16. Make sure electric components are equipped with looseness-proof devices. The
spring washer and flat washer are generally used. The spring washer is placed at
the side of nut while flat washers are placed at both sides of fastening screws. If
lock devices including lock nuts are adopted, it is possible not to use the spring
washer.

17. Fasteners used to install the equipment should be standard galvanized

products.

18. When aluminum alloy parts are connected with non-aluminum alloy ones,
insulation pads should be used to separate them in order to avoid the impact of
electrochemical corrosion.
19. Appropriate measures should be taken to avoid direct contact when aluminum
members are connected with steel members.

20. Inlets at the side of power supply should be connected to inlet terminal, that is,
fixed contact terminal; outlets at the load side should be connected to outlet
terminal, namely, movable contact terminal.
