MHPTV TX Quick Start Guide
MHPTV-QSG-DOC-V1.1, 12/05/2018 Page 18 of 37
The MHPTV TX AC distribution compartment may be wired for 240VAC single-
phase (3-wire, L1, L2, GND – for 1, 2, and 3-PA systems) or 208VAC three-phase (4-
wire, L1, L2, L3, GND – for 1~8 Pa systems) power to be sourced from a proper breaker
sized according to the charts below. Also, please note the recommended cable gauge to
make the connection between the TX AC Mains Distribution terminal block and the
circuit breaker installed in the facility electrical panel. Please note: This cable is not
provided with your Transmitter equipment and should be obtained from your local
Electrician.
Important: The transmitter cabinet MUST be properly bonded to the building
lightning protective ground and have a good RF ground. This is typically done with a
2” to 4” copper strap that is connected to the cabinet ground, found at the bottom rear
of the TX cabinet, making sure all equipment inside the rack is tied to this ground. Any
damage caused by not having proper grounding may void your warranty.
