WARNING
WARNING
Only qualified personnel who deal with attendant hazards in power supplies, are allowed to perform
installation and servicing.
Ensure that the AC power line ground is connected properly to the Power Rack input connector or
chassis. Similarly, other power ground lines including those to application and maintenance equipment
must be grounded properly for both personnel and equipment safety.
Always ensure that facility AC input power is de-energized prior to connecting or disconnecting any
cable.
In normal operation, the operator does not have access to hazardous voltages within the chassis.
However, depending on the user’s application configuration, HIGH VOLTAGES HAZARDOUS TO HUMAN SAFETY may be normally generated on the output terminals. The customer/user must ensure
that the output power lines are labeled properly as to the safety hazards and that any inadvertent
contact with hazardous voltages is eliminated.
Guard against risks of electrical shock during open cover checks by not touching any portion of the
electrical circuits. Even when power is off, capacitors may retain an electrical charge. Use safety
glasses during open cover checks to avoid personal injury by any sudden component failure.
Neither AMETEK Programmable Power Inc., San Diego, California, USA, nor any of the subsidiary
sales organizations can accept any responsibility for personnel, material or inconsequential injury, loss
or damage that results from improper use of the equipment and accessories.
Hazardous voltages may be present when covers are removed. Qualified
personnel must use extreme caution when servicing this equipment.
Circuit boards, test points, and output voltages also may be floating above
(below) chassis ground.
The equipment used contains ESD sensitive parts. When installing
equipment, follow ESD Safety Procedures. Electrostatic discharges might
cause damage to the equipment.

XLOAD The CSW5550 is guaranteed to be stable for power factors from 0 leading to 0
lagging. The most difficult load for most amplifiers is driving large capacitive
loads (10-10,000F).Though stable with its normal loop compensation, the
CSW can provide additional phase/gain margin with these unusual loads by
selecting XLOAD On. This significantly improves the transient response of the
amplifier.
X-Load should only be used for reactive loads, and with programmed
frequencies of less than 1000 Hz.
Output current for which specifications apply is de-rated for frequencies above 400Hz as a function of
voltage, and for maximum power of 1850 VA per phase, as shown in Figure 2-1 and Figure 2-2.

3.3 Mechanical Installation
The CSW series power sources are completely self-contained power sources. They may be
used free standing on a bench top or rack mounted using the rack mount/handle kit. The units
are fan cooled, drawing air in from the sides and exhausting at the rear. The sides of each unit
must be kept clear of obstruction and a 6” clearance must be maintained to the rear. Special
consideration of overall air flow characteristics and the resultant internal heat rise must be
allowed for with systems installed inside enclosed cabinets to avoid self heating and over
temperature problems.
Refer to Paragraph 2.2 for information on outline and mounting dimensions of the unit. Refer to
Figure 3-3, Paragraph 3.6 and sub-paragraphs for rear panel connector information.

3.4 Input Wiring – TB1
The input terminal block, TB1, is located at the rear of the unit. Ground (earth) wire must be
connected to the chassis of the AC power system. The mains source must have a current rating
equal to or greater than the input circuit breaker and the input wiring must be sized to satisfy the
applicable electrical codes. The input terminal block cover and strain relief must be installed in
table top applications to maintain protection against hazardous voltages.
CAUTION: Capacitors in the power source may hold a hazardous electrical charge
even if the power source has been disconnected from the mains supply. Allow
capacitors to discharge to a safe voltage before touching exposed pins of mains
supply connectors.
3.4.1 187 to 264 VRMS L–L 3-Phase Operation (3-Wire USA)
Connect the input wires to the phase A, B, and C input terminal block terminals
(no Neutral is required). Ensure that the chassis safety ground is also connected. Use cables with
ratings equal to or greater than the current rating listed on the unit or in Paragraph 3.5.1. Any phase
sequence of wiring can be used.
3.4.2 342 to 457 VRMS L–L 3-Phase Operation (4-Wire INTL)
It is essential that the Neutral connection is present when using the unit. Only units that are factory set at
this voltage will operate at this voltage.
Connect the input wires to phases A, B, C and Neutral of the input terminal block. Ensure that the chassis safety ground is also connected. Use cables with ratings equal to or greater than the current
rating listed on the unit or in paragraph 2.1.1.

3.4.3 Single-Phase Input Connections
The CSW system is designed for three-phase input power operation, either 3-wire (USA) or 4-wire
(EUR) plus a chassis safety ground. However, if only single-phase input power is available, the
configurations listed in paragraph 2.1.1 are possible.
3.5 Output Power Connections – TB2
The output terminal block, TB2, is located at the rear of the unit. Refer to Figure 3-3 for an illustration of
the power source rear panel and all terminal strips and connectors. The external sense inputs allow the
power system output voltages to be monitored directly at the load and must be connected either at TB2
or the load when the sense is programmed for external. The external sense input does not have to be
connected when Internal Sense is programmed. The external sense wires are to be connected to TB3
on the rear panel and should be run as a twisted pair for short lengths. Sense leads over three (3) feet
long should be run as a twisted shielded pair. Refer to Figure 3-4 for all connections. Included in the
power source ship-kit is a safety cover. This cover is used to cover the AC Line input, TB1, the Power
Output terminal block, TB2, and the External Sense terminal block, TB3. Strain reliefs are included with
the safety cover.
Note: The output of the power source is isolated from the input line and floating from
chassis ground. The Output Neutral must not float more than 20 volts or an error
will be reported and the output will shut down.
3.5.1 Wire Gauge Selection
The following guidelines assist in determining the optimum cable specification for
your power applications. These guidelines are equally applicable to both DC and low frequency AC (up
to 450 Hz) power cabling. The same engineering rules apply whether going into or out of an electrical
device. Thus, this guide applies equally to the input cable and output cable for this California Instrument
power source and application loads.
Power cables must be able to safely carry maximum load current without overheating or causing
insulation destruction. It is important to everyday performance to minimize IR (voltage drop) loss within
the cable. These losses have a direct effect on the quality of power delivered to and from instruments
and corresponding loads.
When specifying wire gauge, the operating temperature needs to be considered. Wire gauge current
capability and insulation performance drops with the increased temperature developed within a cable
bundle and with increased environmental temperature. Thus, short cables with generously derated
gauge and insulation properties are recommended for power source applications.
Avoid using published commercial utility wiring codes. These codes are designed for the internal wiring
of homes and buildings and accommodate the safety factors of wiring loss, heat, breakdown insulation,
aging, etc. However, these codes consider that up to 5% voltage drop is acceptable.
Such a loss directly detracts from the quality performance specifications of this power source.
Frequently, these codes do not consider bundles of wire within a cable arrangement.
In high performance applications, as in motor start-up and associated inrush/ transient currents,
additional consideration is required. The cable wire gauge must consider peak voltages and currents,
which may be up to ten times the average values. An underrated wire gauge adds losses, which alter
the inrush characteristics of the application and thus the expected performance. The following table
identifies popular ratings for DC and AC power source cable wire gauges.
