Connecting a System Directly to Two Separate Power Sources

Electrical (AC) Power Planning

Connecting a System Directly to Two Separate Power Sources 

If you do not connect your Express5800/320Fc system or PDUs to a UPS, provide

two AC power sources that are as electrically independent of each other as the

installation site allows. At a minimum, the two power sources must be powered by

separate circuit breakers (maximum of 20A) to AC power and, if possible, be

independent of each other beyond that level. The more electrical separation between

the two power sources, the less likely they will both fail at the same time. Due to

redundancy in Express5800/320Fc systems, power to either side of the system keeps

the system in operation, although the system is no longer fault-tolerant with regard 

to power. 

Figure 4-1

 shows how to connect a pedestal system directly to two separate power 

sources.
