DC Power Supply Precautions

The following precautions must be observed when installing the chassis model with an internal DC power supply.

1. Check nameplate ratings to ensure there is no overloading of supply circuits that

could affect over current protection and supply wiring.

 

 

2. In addition, the following must be observed:

 

 

a.

Connect the equipment to a 36 to 56.7 V DC power source that is

 

electrically isolated from the alternating current source.

* 75.0-V transient with a duration of 10.0 ms with a rate of rise and fall of

 

10 V/ms. The equipment shall meet its operational specifications during

 

the transient.

 

 

 

 

b.

Route input wiring to terminal block and secure in such a manner that it is

 

protected from damage and stress. Do not route wiring past sharp edges or

 

moving parts.

 

 

 

 

c.

Incorporate a readily accessible disconnect device, with a 3mm minimum

 

contact gap in the fixed wiring.

 

 

 

d.

Install only in Restricted Access Areas (dedicated Equipment Rooms,

 

Equipment closets or the like) in accordance with Articles 110-18, 110-26,

 

and 110-27 of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.

e.

Provide a listed circuit breaker suitable for branch circuit protection of the

 

wiring and rated maximum 1A @ 48 V DC.

 

 

f.

For supply connections, use wires suitable for at least 75° C.
