The DC FPEM provides terminal blocks for facility input connectivity. It has 12 sets of input terminal blocks
to provide each power module with the option of both A and B facility connections.
The table below provides the common input range and circuit breaker requirements:

If AWG #2 wire is used for DC power module connections, the chassis ground wire must also be
upgraded to an AWG #2 wire and connector .
Before you begin
•
Attach the Chassis Ground Connection
.
•
Install the DC Power Cassette Module

• The color coding of the DC-input power supply leads depends on the color coding of the DC power
source at your site. Typically, green or green/yellow is used for ground (GND), black is used for -48V
on negative (-) terminal and red is used for RTN on the positive (+) terminal. Ensure that the lead color
coding you choose for the DC-input power supply matches lead color coding used at the DC power
source.
• For DC input power cables, select the appropriate wire gauge based on the National Electrical Code
(NEC) and local codes for 60-amp service at nominal DC input voltage (-48 VDC). Two pairs of cable
leads, source DC (-) and source DC return (+) on P-A and P-B, can be used for each DC Power Module.
These cables are available from any commercial cable vendor. All input power cables for the chassis
must have the same wire gauge.
