Figure 112. Power Wire Terminals
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 the DC Power Wires with the Straight Terminals”
“Connecting the DC Power Wires with the Right Angle Terminals” on page 167
“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
