NOTE: To supply sufficient power, terminate the DC input wiring on a facility DC source capable of supplying at least 8 A at
To supply sufficient power, terminate the DC input wiring on a facility DC source capable of supplying at least 60 A at
To supply sufficient power, terminate the DC input wiring on a facility DC source capable of supplying at least 100 A at
Incorporate an easily accessible disconnect device into the facility wiring. Be sure to connect the ground wire or conduit to a solid office earth ground. A closed loop ring is recommended for terminating the ground conductor at the ground stud.
■Run two wires from the circuit breaker box to a source of 48 VDC.
■A
NOTE: Primary overcurrent protection is provided by the building circuit breaker. This breaker must protect against excess currents, short circuits, and earth grounding faults in accordance with NEC ANSI/NFPA 70.
■Ensure that the polarity of the DC input wiring is correct. Under certain conditions, connections with reversed polarity might trip the primary circuit breaker or damage the equipment.
