22 Test System Installation Chapter 2
Grounding and Connecting Power to the System
Agilent E22xxA Automotive Functional Test Systems are equipped with a
Filtered Power Strip that distributes AC Mains power to the various system
equipment.The system is delivered with a mating power connector for the
system appliance inlet.
The system IS NOT supplied with a power cord or wall outlet connector. A
customer supplied power cord must meet the requirements of the country
where the system is installed. The power cord must be installed by a
qualified electrician. A supplemental Protective Earth ground wire is
required for leakage current.
Procedure
The following procedure shows how to ground the system and connect the
power plug and power cord to the system.
WARNING
All steps are to be done by a qualified, licensed electrician with
AC POWER SHUT OFF.
WARNING
For protection from electrical shock, connect the system rack
to permanent earth ground.
1. Roll the test rack to its final position. Lower the test rack leveling feet
to stabilize the rack and prevent it from rolling
2. Make a permanent connection from the system rack to protective
earth ground. This connection will serve as a redundant Protective
Earth Connection to the primary Protective Earth connection, which
is part of the AC power cord. The "Earth (ground) terminal" found at
the bottom of the system rack, see Figure 2-1, should be connected by
a wire separate from the system AC power cord to the Protective
Earth connection at the AC source where the system AC power cord
is connected. The wire must be the same wire size as the protective
conductor of the system AC power cord. The wire may be either a
bare conductor or a green with yellow stripe insulated conductor.
The redundant Protective Earth connection wire shall have a correctly
sized wire lug on both ends. The wire lugs shall also be sized to fit the
"Earth (ground) terminal” stud or bolt as found on the system rack
and for the Protective Earth connection at the source end of system
AC power cord. In some cases, the Protective Earth connection at the
source end of the system AC power cord will receive the conductor
without a wire lug.
