Do:
- Lay out five VE0508 ferrules, the crimp tool, the ring terminal and tags.
- Find the frame PE point between the WAGO mount and the notch.
- Find the inlet's strain relief; confirm the C13 cord is bagged.
Check
Five ferrules present and the crimp tool to hand. A clean metal-to-metal frame PE point identified. Cord bagged and the inlet switch off.
What you're looking at
No picture; this is a laying-out step. A ferrule is a metal sleeve crimped over a stranded conductor so it enters a screw terminal as one solid pin. Every stranded conductor entering a screw terminal here gets one.
Caution
Rev D+ / LDO: no wiring happens in this chapter and no plug goes in a socket. LDO: "Mains wiring should only be performed by certified personnel…" Ch 10 gates on Checkpoint #1 before anything is switched on: cord unplugged, continuity within each colour group, no continuity between L, N and PE, PSU selector at 115 V. src
