3.3 AC Input Connection
The AC input for the PS5-M is made through a fully shrouded pluggable cable which plugs into the
AC Power input connector plug (J1). Connection to the harness should be made via wire nut to an
appropriate AC source.
The PS5-M accepts a nominal AC input of 120 or 230 VAC at 50 to 60 Hz.
Caution - Use an AC voltmeter to verify that the main AC power is not energized prior to
connecting the PS5-M.
When connecting the PS5-M to 120 VAC, the AC Input cable connections are as follows:
Black - Line
White - Neutral
Green or Green/Yellow - Earth Ground
When connecting the PS5-M to 230 VAC, the AC Input cable connections are as follows:
Black - Line 1 (L1)
White or Red - Line 2 (L2)
Green or Green/Yellow - Earth Ground
CAUTION - Be sure to cut jumper JP3 and remove when using a 230 VAC Input or damage to
the supply will occur. See Figure 3.3.1.
Note -
The AC input connector is a convenient means for AC disconnect, since the connector is fully
shrouded when disconnected.
Note -
The Green or Green/Yellow earth ground wire should always be connected first or
disconnected last for safety.
Note -
All wiring should be installed in accordance with (NEC760) NFPA70, NFPA72, and all local
code requirements. Power limited wiring requires that power limited and non-power limited wiring
remain physically separated. All power limited circuits must remain at least one quarter inch (
¼
”)
away from any non-power limited circuit wiring. All power limited circuit wiring must enter and exit
the cabinet through different knockouts than non-power limited wiring.
