Rear outputs connections
SHOCK HAZARD
Turn off AC power before connecting wires to the rear panel. All wires and straps must be properly connected
with the terminal block screws securely tightened.
DO NOT REMOVE REAR OUTPUT TERMINAL COVER
- Do not remove the rear output terminal cover as it acts as safety cover to the output terminal.
- Output terminal connection must be performed with the presence of the output terminal cover.
ENSURE COVER IS SECURED IN PLACE
Do not operate the device with the cover removed or loosened.
Tightening torque cannot exceed 95 Ib-in (10.8 N-m).
The rear panel connector is rated 80 A and accepts wires sizes from AWG 14 to AWG 4. Wire sizes smaller than AWG
14 are not recommended. Connect the load wires to the + and - terminals.
1. As shown in the following figure, terminate all load wires with wire terminal lugs securely attached. DO NOT use
unterminated wires for load connections at the power supply.
2. Route the wires through the safety cover before attaching them to the bus bars. Knockouts are provided on for
larger diameter wires. The figure illustrates the recommended hardware for connecting wires to the bus bars.
You must provide all cabling. Ensure that the wire-mounting hardware does not short the output terminals.
3. Attach the wire terminals to the inside of the bus bars to ensure enough space for installing the shield. Twist or
bundle the load wires to reduce lead inductance and noise pickup. The goal is to always minimize the loop area
or physical space between the + and - output leads from the power supply to the load.
4. Attach the safety cover to the rear panel. Note that heavy wiring cables must have some form of strain relief to
prevent bending the safety cover or bus bars.
