Preparing the AC Power Connection
To connect the power converter to an AC power source, you need an AC power cord. Power cord
connector types and standards vary by country. Power-cord wiring color codes also vary by country. You
must to have a qualified electrician select, prepare, and install the appropriate power cord to the power
supply.
Note
Use copper conductors only, rated at a minimum temperature of 167°F (75°C).
Note
This section does not apply to PWR-IE50W-AC-IEC, which has pluggable IEC connector.
Connecting the AC Power Source to the Power Converter
Caution
AC power sources must be dedicated AC branch circuits. Each branch circuit must be protected by a
dedicated two-pole circuit breaker.
Caution
Do not turn on AC power until the wiring is secured.
Step 1
Remove the plastic cover from the input power terminals and set it aside.
Step 2
Insert the exposed ground wire lead (10-to-12 AWG cable) into the power converter ground wire connection.
Ensure that only wire
with
insulation
extends from the connector. Note that the position of the power
converter may vary on different switch models.
Step 3
Tighten the ground wire terminal block screw.
Note
Torque to 10 in-lb (1.13Nm).
Step 4
Insert the line and neutral wire leads into the terminal block line and neutral connections. Make sure that
you cannot see any wire lead. Ensure that only wire
with
insulation
extends from the connectors.
Step 5
Tighten the line and neutral terminal block screws.
Note
Torque to 10 in-lb (1.13Nm).
