INSTALLATION

 

 

 

16 

Power Cable

 

 

BEFORE CONNECTING POWER TO THIS INSTRUMENT, THE 
PROTECTIVE GROUND (EARTH) TERMINALS OF THIS INSTRUMENT 
MUST BE CONNECTED TO THE PROTECTIVE CONDUCTOR OF THE 

LINE (MAINS) POWER CORD.  THE MAIN PLUG SHALL ONLY BE INSERTED IN A SOCKET 
OUTLET (RECEPTACLE) PROVIDED WITH A PROTECTIVE GROUND (EARTH) CONTACT.  
THIS PROTECTIVE GROUND (EARTH) MUST NOT BE DEFEATED BY THE USE OF AN 
EXTENSION CORD (POWER CABLE) WITHOUT A PROTECTIVE CONDUCTOR 
(GROUNDING). 
 

 
This instrument is shipped with a three-wire power cable.  When this cable is connected 
to an appropriate AC power source, this cable connects the chassis to earth ground.  The 
type of power cable shipped with each instrument depends on the country of destination. 
 

Test Leads

 

The test leads provided are designed specifically for use with this instrument.  The red 
High Current lead will mate with the red Current jack. The black Return lead will connect 
to the black Return jack.   
 
The test lead ratings are as follows: 
 

Description Part 

Number 

Rating 

Return lead 

37953 

30 A, 600V 

High Current lead 

37954 

30 A, 600V 

 

Operating Environment

 

This instrument may be operated in temperatures from 32° - 113° F (0° - 45° C).
