Power connections (dc)
A stand-alone AEM column can be connected to the dc power plant used
with the Meridian 1 system.
Depending on the distances between columns and the service panel, you
may run safety ground wiring independently from the AEM column to the
service panel, or you may daisy-chain the safety ground wiring between the
AEM column and the Meridian 1.
WARNING
Risk of equipment damage
Failure to follow grounding procedures can result in
an unsafe or faulty system.
You must run all wiring (except cables to the system monitor) from the
external power equipment to the pedestal through flexible metallic conduit.
You may route a 3/4-inch conduit through four holes in the top or bottom of
the pedestal. The 3/4-inch conduit can contain a maximum of nine #10
AWG wires or five #8 AWG.
A maximum loop drop of two volts is allowed between the pedestal, or a
junction box, and the external power equipment. See Table 1 for allowable
wire sizes. See Power engineering (553-3001-152) for detailed
information on calculating wire size.
