Rack Mount Cabinets

Primary Power Cabinet Hardware

Primary Power Cabinet Hardware

The type of cabinet mounting can have an effect on the power requirements. Underwriters’ Laboratory (UL) and local electrical codes require certain standards for connecting commercial AC and reserve power to the Strata CTX system. Table 5-3describes which assemblies may be required to meet UL and local electrical code standards.

Description

 

 

Cabinet power strip for 120VAC primary power – provides three standard 120VAC/15A outlets (NEMA5-15R) and nine ft. AC power cord with standard 120VAC/15A plug (NEMA5- 15P). This unit is field installed outside the system cabinet on the back cover. The system can use 12 amps. (max.).

One BRPSB120A is required for two cabinet systems if the local electric code allows only one AC power cord to be connected to the system.

BRPSB120A

Note

If the local electric code allows only one AC power cord to be connected to the

 

 

system, 208VAC or 240VAC must be used as primary AC power for systems with four

 

 

or more cabinets.

 

One BRPSB120A is required for a three or four cabinet system if the local electric code

 

allows two AC power cords connected to the system.

 

Two BRPSB120As are required for a five cabinet system if the local electric code allows two

 

AC power cords connected to the system.

 

 

 

Cabinet power strip for 208VAC or 240VAC primary power - provides three 240VAC/20A

 

outlets (NEMA 6-20R) and 9ft. AC power cord with a standard 240VAC/20A plug (NEMA 6-

 

20P). This unit is field installed outside the system cabinet on the back cover. The system

 

can use 16 amps. (max.).

 

One BRPSB240A is required for two or three cabinet systems.

 

Two BRPSB240As are required for four or five cabinet systems.

BRPSB240A

Three BRPSB240As are required for six or seven cabinet systems.

Note

 

 

 

 

Local electric codes allow only one AC power cord to be connected to the system when

 

using 208VAC or 240VAC as the primary AC power.

 

BRPSB240A conforms to the National Electric Code standards. If using 208VAC as

 

primary power, the plug on the BRPSB240A AC power cord that exits the cabinet (NEMA

 

6-20P) may have to be changed to a twist-lock type by a certified electrician to conform

 

with local electric codes.

 

 

 

AC208V or AC240VAC nine ft. power supply cord. The cord is rated at 10 amps. (max.) and

 

must be used when the system is powered by 208VAC or 240VAC. One cord is required for

 

each cabinet power supply and must be ordered separately only if using 208VAC or 240VAC

 

as the system primary AC power.

BACL240A

Note

The cord is equipped with a 250VAC/20A plug (NEMA 6-20P) which is standard for

 

 

 

240VAC. If using 208VAC as the system primary power this cord may have to be

 

 

changed by a certified electrician for one or two cabinet installations. If using three or

 

 

more cabinets, a BRPSB240A power strip is required and the power strip plug may

 

 

have to be changed by a certified electrician depending on local electric codes.
