LV3620

Because the amplifier generates considerable power, it may be desirable to
protect sensitive loads from damage due to excessive power. A common way
to do this is to put a fuse in series with the load.
Fuses help prevent damage due to prolonged overload, but provide essentially no
protection against damage from large transients. To minimize this latter
problem, use high-speed instrument fuses such as the Littlefuse 361000 series.
If the load is only susceptible to damage caused by prolonged overload (such as
overheating), use a fuse or circuit breaker having the same slow thermal
response as the load itself (such as a slow-blow fuse).
2.5.5 AC mains power requirements
Each AE Techron LV3620 amplifier is furnished with a three-wire ac plug.
Use an isolated power receptacle whenever possible with adequate current.
North American units are shipped with a 15 amp (12 AWG) line cord. Other
units are shipped with an appropriate line cord and plug. Line voltages of 10%
or more above the specified voltage for the amplifier may cause damage.
All specifications in this manual are referenced at 120 Vac mains.
Performance variations will occur at other ac mains voltages and line
frequencies. Line regulation problems can reduce the available output power.
Note:
Operate the amplifier from AC mains of not more than 10% variation
above or below the selected line voltage and only at the specified line
frequency.
