Applicable Industries

Installation Mandatory Requirements

1. Install within standard 6U VME rack with minimum 25 mm vertical ventilation clearance above and below the module
2. Separate CT/PT secondary signal wiring from high-voltage power cables by minimum 30 cm distance
3. All CT secondary wiring must include dedicated short-circuit terminal blocks for maintenance safety
4. Auxiliary AC power input must incorporate surge suppression protection against grid voltage transients
5. Execute full CT/PT signal calibration after module installation before generator unit commissioning

Operation & Maintenance Precautions

1. Never disconnect CT secondary wiring while the generator unit remains energized to avoid dangerous open-circuit voltage generation
2. Conduct full signal channel calibration every 24 months of continuous generator operation
3. Avoid exposure to hydrogen gas leakage environments without sealed cabinet air circulation
4. Disconnect auxiliary AC power supply before removing the module from the VME rack backplane
5. Store spare modules in temperature-controlled dry storage with anti-static packaging to preserve conformal coating integrity
