The section, type and laying of the cables for supplying power to the inverter and connecting to the electropump must be chosen
according to the regulations in force. Table 2 supplies an indication on the section of the cable to be used. The table refers to 4-core
PVC cables (3 phases + earth) and gives the recommended minimum section with relation to the current and the length of the cable.
The electropump current is generally specified on the motor data plate.
The supply current to the MCE-55/C may be assessed in general (allowing a safety margin) as 1/8 more than the current absorbed by
the pump.
Although the MCE-55/C has its own internal protections, it is still advisable to install a suitably sized thermal magnetic circuit breaker.
ATTENTION: The thermal magnetic circuit breaker and the power cables of the MCE-55/C and of the pump must be of a size suited
to the system; if the indications given in the manual do not agree with the regulation in force, use the regulation as reference.
MCE-150/C
The connection between the three-phase power supply line and the MCE-150/C must be made with a 4-core cable (3 phases + earth).
The characteristics of the power supply must satisfy the indications in Table 1.
The input terminals are the ones marked with the words LINE RST and with an arrow entering the terminals, see Figure 1.
The minimum section of the input and output cables is 6 mm2 to guarantee correct tightening of the cable clamps, while the maximum
section accepted by the terminals is 16 mm².

Connection to the Electropump
The connection between the MCE-C and the electropump is made with a 4-core cable (3 phases + earth).
At output an electropump must be connected to a three-phase power supply with the characteristics specified in Table 1.
The output terminals are the ones marked with the words PUMP UVW and with an arrow leaving the terminals, see Figure 1.
The rated voltage of the electropump must be the same as the MCE-C power supply voltage.
The utility connected to the MCE-C must not absorb a current higher than the maximum that can be supplied, indicated in Table 1.
Check the data plates and the type of connection (star or delta) of the motor used to respect the above-mentioned conditions.
Table 3 supplies an indication on the section of the cable to be used to connect to the pump. The table refers to 4-core PVC cables (3
phases + earth) and gives the recommended minimum section with relation to the current and the length of the cable.
The incorrect connection of the earth lines to a terminal other than the earth terminal may cause irremediable
damage to the whole equipment.
The incorrect connection of the power supply line to the output terminals intended for the load may cause
irremediable damage to the whole equipment.
