Power Supply Primary Power Connections

** Before connecting primary power, check the data plate

on the power supply to verify the voltage required **

A primary disconnect switch, switching all ungrounded supply conductors, should be

provided for each Spirit system. The disconnect switch should be located as close as

possible to the power supply so it can be turned off quickly in case of an emergency.

The disconnect switch should be equipped with time delay fuses only. The

magnetic inrush current of the power supply will cause fast acting fuses to blow. The

disconnect switch should be sized according to local and national codes. The rating

must meet or exceed the continuous rating of the fuses used. See the following chart

for recommended fuse sizes:

Connection to the supply circuit can be by means of flexible supply cables or supply

cables through conduit to a permanent installation. The supply cables should have a

600 volt minimum rating and should be sized according to local and national codes.

Route flexible supply cables through the strain relief on the back of the power supply

and connect to the input terminal block TB5 as shown. For supply cables through

conduit, install the conduit in place of the strain relief and connect the associated supply

cables to the input terminal block TB5. See Figure 3 on the next page.

TB5 is located on the rear of the power supply and is accessible with the right-side

cover removed.

Be sure to connect the primary ground cable to the ground stud

on the input terminal block.

Under no circumstances are the supply cables to be routed through the opening in the

power supply cabinet without conduit or an appropriate strain relief as per local and

national codes.
