SINGLE-PHASE AND THREE-PHASE POWER CONFIGURATIONS

All Powermax900 power supplies except the 400V CE and 600V power supplies can operate from
either a single-phase or three-phase input.  The 400V CE, 230V CE and 600V power supplies operate
only from a three-phase input.

Power cords must meet the specifications described earlier in this section.  Follow applicable local or
national wire-color conventions.  See also 

EMC Compatibility 

and 

Mains Supply on page i for further

CE compliance recommendations.

Remove the rear panel (Fig. 3-2) and connect the power cable to terminal block TB1 as shown in
the figures below.  Connect the ground wire to the stud marked      above the terminal block.

Single-Phase

Three-Phase - Non-CE

   WARNING

SHOCK HAZARD:  Always turn off power, unplug cord from wall and wait 5 minutes before
removing any power supply cover.  If power supply is directly connected to a line disconnect
switch, place line disconnect switch to OFF position.  In the U.S., use a "lock-out / tag-out"
procedure until the service or maintenance work is complete.  In other countries, follow
appropriate national or local safety procedures.
