There are five connections for a wye source and four connections for a delta source. Cables are often
color coded to represent corresponding connections.
* Not applicable in Europe.
Input Voltage
When the system is configured for delta operation, the input voltage to the luminaires equals the phase-
to-phase voltage of the power source. When the system is configured for wye operation, the input
voltage to the luminaires equals the phase-to-neutral voltage of the power source. Single-phase power
can be used to operate the system by configuring the equipment for wye operation and connecting all
three phase inputs to the same single-phase source. APS6 modules usually operate under three-phase
power, but can also be operated under 180-240 VAC, single phase mains with L1, L2, and L3 tied
together at the SixPack chassis.
Typical wye services in the United States produce voltages ranging from 175 to 225 VAC phase-to-
phase and 90 to 130 VAC phase-to-neutral. The SixPack Chassis and the ACS rack should be placed in
delta mode so that the racks produce 175 to 225 VAC to the system. AC for the system is produced
across the phases.
In Europe, wye services produce voltages ranging from 310 to 415 VAC phase-to-phase and 180 to
240 VAC phase-to-neutral. Since the system can not operate in voltages above 260 VAC, the SixPack
Chassis and ACS rack must be placed in wye mode, thus activating the neutral and placing the system
into the standard 180 to 240 VAC operating range.
