Damaged electrical connection
cables
The insulation on electrical connection cables is often
damaged.
This may have the following causes:
• Pressure points, where connection cables are passed
through windows or doors,
• Kinks where the connection cable has been improper-
ly fastened or routed,
• Places where the connection cables have been cut
due to being driven over,
• Insulation damage due to being ripped out of the wall
socket,
• Cracks due to the insulation ageing.
Such damaged electrical connection cables must not be
used and are life-threatening due to the insulation dam-
age.
Check the electrical connection cables for damage regu-
larly. Ensure that the connection cables are disconnected
from electrical power when checking for damage.
Electrical connection cables must comply with national
provisions. Only use connection cables of the same des-
ignation.
The printing of the type designation on the connection ca-
ble is mandatory.
