14 Connection to the mains supply
The electrical connection must ensure an all-pole separation of the Bi Distillation Apparatus from the mains supply. In-
stalled assembly parts, such as CEE shock-proof sockets or main switches, must be installed so as to ensure clear identifi-
cation and they must be within easy reach in an emergency case. All Bi Distillation Apparatus must have a permanent
connection with the mains. This may only be implemented through an on-site main switch or through a CEE plug in con-
formity with IEC standard 60309-2 (see examples for connection to the mains in chapter 14).
