Connecting Loads

Cable Routing

Strategy

As with any power system, cabinet positioning with respect to cable
racks, batteries, and the ac service is very important in order to ensure
easy installation, proper maintenance, and graceful growth of the system
in the future.

Each cabinet is arranged to separate ac leads from dc leads to minimize
electrical noise transmitted to the load. Run ac cable in an ac conduit
mounted above the front of the cabinet. Route dc leads along a cable
rack above the back of the cabinet. Review Figure 5-15 for various cable
rack arrangements.

Capacitor Charge

Unit

ED83143-31 Groups 1 and 5 may also be equipped with a Capacitor
Charge Unit (refer to Figure 8-1 to mount this unit on the panel). The
Group 5 has 5 circuit breaker positions. One position is not available if
the capacitor charge unit is mounted.

To use the Capacitor Charge Unit, follow the instructions silk-screened
on the unit.
