Mains Input: Line Voltage Connection 

Mains input is connected by the 3-Pin Amphenol on the left of the front panel.  Nominal 
input voltage is 230VAC  45-65 Hz. The wiring to this connector is as follows:- 

 

A 

Ground / Earth 

B 

Neutral 

C 

Live 

 
A  mains  supply  cable  will  be  supplied  from  the  factory  with  the  following  colour 
coding:- 

Green/Yellow 

Earth 

Blue 

Neutral 

Brown  

Live 

 

The operator must ensure that the AC supply is capable of supplying sufficient energy 
to power the CSP-SNv unit. Although the unit will operate from most generators of 5kVA, 
the  quality  and  regulation  vary  considerably  from  make  to  make  and  how  well  they 
have been maintained.  
A voltage stabiliser is not necessary as any reasonable variation of the AC supply will 
not affect the output voltage (hence power) unlike older designs.  
 

NB Some older ‘inverter’ type generators do not work well with the CSP

-SNv. 

 

Typical Currents 

At 2800J at 1 pps (AVIP out of circuit); Non PFC charger, the following currents apply:- 

 

Voltage 

Peak Current 

Average 

Current 

240 VAC 50 Hz 

40A 

18A 

 

(At 60 Hz, the peak currents are slightly smaller) 
To see clearly the effect of the AVIP board the following measurements are typical:- 
240 VAC at 50 Hz supply. 100J at 1 pps output power 

 

 

Peak Current 

Average 

Current 

AVIP IN 

2.58A 

1.06A 

AVIP OUT 

9.51A 

1.11A
