Connecting up the mains cable on US power
sources
General The US power sources are supplied without a mains cable. A mains cable appropriate
for the connection voltage must be fitted prior to commissioning.
A strain-relief device for a cable cross-section AWG 10 is installed on the power source.
Strain-relief devices for larger cable cross-sections must be designed accordingly.
