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 108. 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.
Figure 108. 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 165
“Connecting Bare DC Power Wires” on page171
Connecting the
DC Power Wires
with the Straight
Terminals
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 109 on page 157.
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
