Input Power Requirements
The input power requirements for the library depend on the type and
number of drives installed in the library, as described in the following
table. Each input must be protected by a circuit breaker rated for 15
amps.For redundant AC power configurations, connect each input to a
separate branch circuit, which allows for failover in the event of a power
failure in one of the circuits. The two AC inputs must be on the same
phase, and the voltages must be the same within a few volts. If these
requirements are not satisfied, there may be problems switching between
the two AC power sources.
Note: The T200 library supports a maximum of eight drives; both the
T380 library and the T680 library support a maximum of twelve
drives each.
Caution
The library is designed to be used on parallel power only. If the power sources for the
dual AC inputs are not parallel, damage to the library could result.
