INSTALLATION
2-3
Class I power cords (3-core)
General
When the equipment has to be plugged into a Class II (ungrounded) 2-terminal socket outlet, the
cable should either be fitted with a 3-pin Class I plug and used in conjunction with an adapter
incorporating a ground wire, or be fitted with a Class II plug with an integral ground wire. The
ground wire must be securely fastened to ground. Grounding one terminal on a 2-terminal socket
will not provide adequate protection.
In the event that a molded plug has to be removed from a lead, it must be disposed of immediately.
A plug with bare flexible cords is hazardous if it is engaged in a live socket outlet.
Power cords with the following terminations are available from Aeroflex. Please check with your
local sales office for availability. This equipment is provided with a 3-wire (grounded) cordset,
which includes a molded IEC 320 connector for connection to the equipment. The cable must be
fitted with an approved plug which, when plugged into an appropriate 3-terminal socket outlet,
grounds the case of the equipment. Failure to ground the equipment may expose the operator to
hazardous voltage levels. Depending upon the destination country, the color-coding of the wires
will differ:
North American
Country IEC 320 plug type Part number
North American Straight through 23422/004
North American Right angled 23422/005
The North American lead is fitted with a NEMA 5-15P (Canadian CS22.2 No. 42) plug and carries
approvals from UL and CSA for use in the USA and Canada.
