5.2 Overall Description
Three-phase input power is routed from the back of the cabinet to a fuse holder
terminal block located in the bottom front of the unit. The lower front access
panel must be removed to gain access to the AC input connection fuse block.
From the fuse block, the AC input is connected to the three-phase input
transformer primary. The input transformer provides the required isolation
between input and output of the MX and accommodates various input voltage
