Cable Size: 2.5–4 mm² (copper)
Torque: Tighten terminal screws to 1.5 N·m.
Grounding: Connect PE to protective earth; ensure low‑resistance path.
Cable Glands: Use M25 glands (standard) for cable entry.

4. Operation

4.1 Initial Start‑Up

Verify all connections are secure and correct.

Check for short circuits between terminals and ground.

Apply 25 kHz AC power from TAS10A transformer module.

Measure voltage and current; confirm stable resonance (no overcurrent/overheating).

Allow 5 min warm‑up; check for abnormal noise or temperature rise.

4.2 Operating Limits

Do not exceed 85 A continuous current.

Avoid continuous operation above 35 °C ambient.

Switch off power if overheating, unusual noise, or smoke occurs.

5. Maintenance

5.1 Regular Inspection (Every 6 Months)

Check terminals for tightness, corrosion, or discoloration.

Clean dust from ventilation slots with a dry brush.

Inspect cables for damage, aging, or insulation wear.

Verify grounding integrity.

5.2 Lubrication

No lubrication required; maintenance‑free under normal conditions.

5.3 Replacement Parts

Use only genuine SEW‑EURODRIVE components.

Contact SEW service for capacitor or housing replacement.

6. Troubleshooting

No current: Check TAS10A power, wiring, and terminal connections.
Overheating: Excessive current, poor ventilation, or internal capacitor fault.
Abnormal noise: Loose core, damaged capacitor, or resonance mismatch.
Low power: Incorrect capacitance, track length mismatch, or loose connections.

7. Ordering Information

Model: TCS10A-008-040-0
Accessories: Mounting brackets, M25 cable glands, protective covers, TCS‑PACK‑4 accessory set.
