Meeting Power Requirements

AC Power Cable Requirements

Use an AC power cable appropriate for your country. Check your local electrical codes and regulatory agencies for power cable requirements. The countries listed in Table 13 have additional requirements as listed in the table.

Table 13: AC Power Cable Requirements

Country

Requirements

 

 

USA and Canada

• The cable set must be UL-approved and CSA-certified.

 

• The minimum specification for the flexible cable is No. 18 AWG (1.5 mm2),

 

Type SVT or SJT, 3-conductor.

 

• The cable set must have a rated current capacity of at least the amount rated for

 

each specific product.

 

• The attachment plug must be either an Earth-grounding type with a NEMA

 

5-15P (10 A, 110 V) configuration or a NEMA L6-15P (10 A, 208/240 V)

Denmark

The supply plug must comply with section 107-2-D1, standard DK2-1a or DK2-5a.

Switzerland

The supply plug must comply with SEV/ASE 1011.

Argentina

The supply plug must comply with Argentinian standards.

 

 

NOTE

When using dual power supplies, make sure that each AC power supply attaches to an independent power source.

Replacing the Power Cable

If the power cable plug is unsuitable and must be replaced, connect the power supply wires for the switch according to the following scheme:

●Brown wire to the Live (Line) plug terminal, which may be marked with the letter “L” or colored red.

●Blue wire to the Neutral plug terminal, which may be marked with the letter “N” or colored black.

●Yellow/Green wire to the Ground plug terminal, which may be marked with the letter “E” (the Earth symbol) or colored yellow/green.

Uninterruptible Power Supply Requirements

An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is a device that sits between a power supply (such as a wall outlet) and a device (such as a switch) to prevent outages, sags, surges, and bad harmonics from adversely affecting the performance of the device.

A UPS traditionally can perform the following functions:

●Absorb relatively small power surges.

●Smooth out noisy power sources.

●Continue to provide power to equipment during line sags.

●Provide power for some time after a blackout has occurred.

In addition, some UPS or UPS plus software combinations provide the following functions:

●Automatically shut down equipment during long power outages.
