2.2 Prime Power Connection [MS3102E20-3P]
The Prime power connector is a 3-pin circular connector, J7. The power supplies provide
universal AC input by using auto-sensing power supplies. The AC input can operate over a
range of 90-265 VAC, at 47 to 63 Hz. The power supply is also power factor corrected,
enabling the unit to achieve a power factor greater than 0.93.
The highest output power levels, >70 W @ Ku-Band and >100 W @ C-Band should be
powered only from a 180–265 VAC source. This will keep AC line currents to safe operating
levels for the internal EMI filter and associated circuitry. The AC Line input connector
configuration is given in Table 2-1. The prime power vs. RF output power is summarized in
Table 2-2. An option for 110 VAC prime power is available for the higher-powered units.
WARNING! Always terminate the RF input and output connectors prior to
applying prime AC input power!
