Power Cord Routing
All modules are shipped with two AC power cords that are appropriate for use in a typical
outlet in the destination country. Each power cord connects one of the power supplies in a
module to an independent, external power source, such as a wall receptacle or
uninterruptible power supply (UPS). If you have a rackmount cabinet with internal power
cabling, such as a ladder cable, you do not need these power cords.
A rackmount cabinet can have up to two AC power distribution boxes with separate power
cords (Figure 2-3). To ensure redundancy, each power cord must connect to an
independent, external power source. Each AC power distribution box has a ladder cable
that runs up the inside of the cabinet and connects to one of the power supplies in each
module.
Figure 2-4 on page 2-10 shows the power cords and receptacles for domestic (inside USA)
and international use (outside USA).
2-8Command Module and Drive Module Site Preparation Guide
The command module uses wide-ranging, redundant power supplies that automatically
accommodate voltages to the AC power source. The power supplies operate at a range
between 90 VAC and 264 VAC, and at a minimum frequency of 50 Hz and a maximum
frequency of 60 Hz. The power supplies meet standard voltage requirements for both
domestic (inside USA) and international (outside USA) operation. They use standard
industrial wiring with line-to-neutral or line-to-line power connections.
Consider the following information when preparing the command module installation
site:
Earth ground – The unit must be properly grounded, including an earth ground
•
conductor on the AC power source.
Circuit overloading – Ensure the power circuits and associated circuit breakers in the
•
cabinet and building provide sufficient power and overload protection. To prevent
possible damage to the unit, isolate its power source from large switching loads (such as
air conditioning motors, elevator motors, and factory loads).

This section provides information regarding array module AC power requirements, power
cord routing instructions, and site wiring conditions.
The AC power source must provide the correct voltage, current, and frequency specified
on the manufacturer’s nameplate. Internal AC power units for rackmount cabinets must
be able to handle the power specifications for these units. Refer to Tab le 4 -6 and Table 4- 7

All modules are shipped with two AC power cords that are appropriate for use in a typical
outlet in the destination country. Each power cord connects one of the power supplies in a
module to an independent, external power source, such as a wall receptacle or
uninterruptible power supply (UPS). If you have a rackmount cabinet with internal power
cabling, such as a ladder cable, you do not need these power cords.
Typically, a rackmount cabinet has two AC distribution boxes with two separate power
cords (Figure 4-4). To ensure redundancy, each power cord must connect to an
independent, external power source. Each AC distribution box has a ladder cable that runs
up the inside of the cabinet and connects to one of the power supplies in each unit.
Figure 4-5 shows the power cords and receptacles for domestic (inside USA) and
international use (outside USA).

The array modules use wide-ranging, redundant power supplies that automatically
accommodate voltages to the AC power source. The power supplies operate at a range
between 90 VAC and 264 VAC, and at a minimum frequency of 50 Hz and a maximum
frequency of 60 Hz. The power supplies meet standard voltage requirements for both
domestic (inside USA) and international (outside USA) operation. They use standard
industrial wiring with line-to-neutral or line-to-line power connections.
Consider the following information when preparing the array module installation site.
Earth ground – The unit must be properly grounded, including an earth ground
•
conductor on the AC power source.
Circuit overloading – Ensure the power circuits and associated circuit breakers in the
•
cabinet and building provide sufficient power and overload protection. To prevent
possible damage to the unit, isolate its power source from large switching loads (such as
air conditioning motors, elevator motors, and factory loads).
Power interruptions – The array modules will withstand the following applied voltage
•
interruptions (with or without an integrated UPS):
Input transient – 50% of nominal voltage
•
Duration – one half cycle
•
Frequency – once every 10 seconds
•
Power failures – After a total power failure, the unit will automatically perform a
•
power-up recovery sequence without operator intervention once power is restored.
