Chapter 4 - Electrical Requirements and Procedures

Output Wiring

Output voltage is delivered to the load equipment via hardwired connections and/or via receptacles on an optional power distribution unit (PDU). To facilitate maintenance and service of the Power Array, it is recomended that flexible metal conduit be used for all hardwiring connections.

See table 4-2 for output wiring specifications.

Output Wiring Configurations

The Power Array is typically wired to deliver either120V/240V, or 120V/208V/240V output voltages. The internal wiring to the output terminal block is depicted in figure 4-6. Note the neutral ground bond in figure 4-7. Wiring configurations for installations with a power panel are provided in figures 4-8 and 4-9. If wiring is to be connected directly to the load equipment, refer to table 4-3 for the correct terminal con- nections.

Note: Use only the connections shown in table 4-3. All others will yield voltages other than normal utility voltages.

Output Overcurrent Protection

SymmetraTM requires output voltage overcurrent protection in accordance with the ratings in table 4-2. If an optional PDU is installed on the Power Array, the panel circuit breaker acts as the overcurrent protection for the PDU receptacles and the hardwired connections. See figure 4-11 and 4-12. If a PDU panel is not installed, circuit breakers must be installed in the power panels as shown in figures 4-8 and 4-9.
