Surge Current The
surge current for the DC Power Supply Unit under
maximum load conditions
is

Use crimp terminals for wiring. Do not connect bare stranded wires directly to
terminal blocks. Use M3.5 screws for tightening crimp terminals.

Caution Abide
by the following precautions when wiring the Power Supply Units. Failure
to
abide by these precautions my cause faulty operation or damage to the Unit.
• Be
sure that no wire clippings or other foreign materials enter
the Units when
wiring.
• Provide circuit breakers and other protective devices to protect the system
again external short circuits.
• Check and recheck all wiring before supplying power to the system.
• After
wiring the terminals check the terminal block
to be sure it is firmly locked
in place.
3-4-2 Grounding
The line ground (LG: ) terminal of the Power Supply Unit is a noise-filtered
neutral
terminal. Short the line ground terminal to the ground (GR:
) terminal to
improve noise resistance.
To
avoid electrical shock, attach a grounded A
WG 14
wire (cross-sectional area
of
2 mm
2
) to the ground terminal. The ground resistance must be 100
W
or less
and
must be checked periodically to be sure that environmental conditions have
not deteriorated ground capacity. Do not use a wire longer than 20 m.
