2.3 Power Supply Wiring and Grounding

Fig. 2.2.1 RuggedMCTM Power Supply Inputs

The RuggedMCTM power supply inputs are identical and are connected as follows:

1.+/L = DC (+) / AC (Hot) is connected to the positive (+) terminal if the power source is DC or to the (Hot) terminal if the power source is AC.

2.-/N = DC (-) / AC (Neutral) is connected to the negative (-) terminal if the power source is DC or to the (Neutral) terminal if the power source is AC.

3.Surge Ground is connected to the Chassis Ground via a braided cable or other appropriate grounding wire. Surge Ground is used as the ground conductor for all surge and transient suppression circuitry internal to the RuggedMCTM.

Chassis Ground is connected to the Safety Ground terminal for AC inputs or the equipment ground bus for DC inputs.

Note: Surge Ground must be disconnected from Chassis Ground during HIPOT

(dielectric strength) testing.

Notes:

1.For 125/250VDC rated equipment: An appropriately rated 300VDC circuit breaker must be installed within 3 meters of unit.

2.For 110/230VAC rated equipment: An appropriately rated 250VAC circuit breaker must be installed within 3 meters of the unit

3.A circuit breaker is not required for 48 or 24VDC rated equipment.

4.For multiple supplies, separate circuit breakers must be installed. Equipment must be installed according to the applicable country wiring codes.
