1.6 Grounding and Powering the System
The chassis must be connected to earth ground. Failure to properly ground the chassis
leaves the potential for severe electrical hazard and/or problems with normal operation.
The Networked Driver must be grounded for proper operation. The
GND
connection on the power connector
is connected to the enclosure of the Networked Driver and is a sufficient grounding point for most applica-
tions. When mounting the Networked Driver on a surface that is electrically conductive and grounded, you
should take steps to ensure that the two are electrically bonded together. If necessary, remove paint from the
surfaces of the panel that contact the mounting bolts to ensure adequate electrical bonding.
AC power connections are made to the Networked Driver using the power connector kit that ships with the
driver. This kit includes the power connector and rubber boot. Figure T1.3 below shows how to properly wire
and ground the driver.
For clarity, the rubber boot is not shown in the figure. When installing the power cable, slide
the rubber boot onto the cable before wiring the connector. When you’re sure the wiring is cor-
rect, slide the boot over the connector to cover the screw heads.
Figure T1.3 Power and Grounding Connections
1) Input power must be 95 to 132 Vac, 50/60 Hz for the SD17060E-K and 95 to 264 Vac,
50/60 Hz for the SD31045E-K. Input power must able to supply 800VA for proper opera-
tion.
2) Never attempt to power an SD17060E-K with 230Vac. Doing so will damage the driver and
void its warranty.
Both the Neutral and the Line power connections are internally fused in the AMCI Networked Drivers. These
fuses are not field replaceable, so external fuses or circuit breakers should also be used. They must be rated
for at least 10 amps.
