Step 3 Prepare enough length power cable, the wire range 6AWG~8AWG. Size the power cables to the distance between the
power supply and the DC power grid. If you need to cut the cable, cut it at the end that connects to the DC power grid,
remove 0.75 inch (19 mm) of insulation from the cut ends, and attach them to the DC power system. Be sure to connect
the negative cables to negative lines and positive cables to positive lines.
For all your power connections, if you are using cables with two different colors, use one color cable for all
positive circuits and the other color for all negative circuits.
Note
Hazardous voltage or energy may be present on DC power terminals. Always replace cover when terminals
are not in service. Be sure uninsulated conductors are not accessible when cover is in place. Statement 1075
