Xantrex Technology XDC manual AC Wire Input Connection For 6000 W, AC Input Voltage Range Wire

Installation

AC Input Power

AC Input Wire The manufacturer recommends the AC input wire specified in Table 2.2 and Table 2.3. This must be permanently connected to an approved AC distribution box with suitably rated over-current protection. If you require a special cord, contact the manufacturer.

AC Wire Input

Connection

for 6000 W

See Figure 2.5, on page 42.

To connect the 6000 W AC input wires:

1.Ensure that the AC input cord is de-energized, and that the power switch on the front of the power supply is OFF.

2.Strip approximately 4 in. (10 cm) from the jacket of the AC wire. Strip 0.55 in. (14 mm) at the end of each wire.

3.Undo the 2 screws for the AC wiring strain relief/cover on the rear panel. Remove the cover.

4.Undo the strain relief screws. Insert the AC input cable through the strain relief until the outer cable jacket is flush with the inside of the strain relief. Tighten the strain relief cable clamp screws.

5.Insert the ground wire (green) 0.55 in. (14 mm) into the left-most terminal location, and tighten securely. (The safety ground wire may alternatively be connected to the chassis ground stud next to the terminal block, using a suitably sized ring terminal).
