powersoft X8 - Reference Manual

AC mains supply
Refer to the quick guide for safety
and proper installation instructions
The intended use of X Series amplifiers is in a rack only. The AC mains
wirings of the units must be connected to a terminal box provided with a
properly breaker. The proper device to use depends on mains configuration;
for X8 Powersoft suggests:
single-phase AC (P+N+E): 32 A rating, C or D curve, 10 kA;
three-phase AC (3P+N+E): 4 x 16 A rating, C or D curve, 10 kA.
For X4 Powersoft suggests:
single-phase AC (P+N+E): 16 A rating, C or D curve, 10 kA;
three-phase AC (3P+N+E): 4 x 10 A rating, C or D curve, 10 kA.
It is not allowed to connect the X Series AC mains connection directly to the
power distribution system. Recommended wires section is 2,5 mm
2
/13 AWG.
For North America market we recommend to use an approved UL/CSA cable
(i.e. ST 600Vac 105°C 5x13AWG)
AC mains connection is provided by means of the euroblock Phoenix PC 5/5-
STF1-7,62 connector and flying plug (Phoenix product ID 1777862). Proper
assembly of the AC mains conductors to the flying plug must respect the
power line configuration; once properly wired, insert and lock the flying con-
nector into the shell provided by Powersoft.
Before connecting this amplifier to the AC mains:
 verify that your mains connection is capable of satisfying the power
ratings of the device;
 verify that a ground connection is available;
 verify that a proper sectioning breaker is available;
 connect all the five conductors to the flying plug as shown in the pictures.
