Chapter 7: Powering On the Chassis

Choosing a Method for Attaching the Power Wires

The AT-SBxPWRSYS1 DC Power Supply comes with the two sets of power wire terminals shown in Figure 112. You may use either set to connect the positive (+) and negative (-) wires to the terminal block on the power supply. The straight terminals are used to route the wires above or below the terminal block. The right angle terminals are used to route the power wires directly away from the terminal block.

Note

The right angle terminals require the removal of the plastic cover from the terminal block.

You may also install the wires using bare wires.

Here are the procedures to wiring the positive and negative terminal block on the power supply:

“Connecting Bare DC Power Wires” on page 173

To use the straight terminals to connect the DC power wires to the positive and negative terminals on the power supply, perform the following procedure:

1.Prepare adequate lengths of two stranded 8 AWG power wires by stripping them as shown in Figure 113 on page 159.

Warning

Do not strip more than the recommended amount of wire. Stripping more than the recommended amount can create a safety hazard by leaving exposed wire on the terminal block after installation.  E10
