(option -400), 440 V (option -480). Figure 2-1: The MX15 Power Source CAUTION: Do not connect 400, 440, or 480V into a unit set for 208 or 230V unit, the result could be a severely damaged unit. Always check the input rating on the model number tag before connecting AC input power. -
Page 12: Mechanical Installation
AC input connections are to be made directly to the input fuse block. The input fuse block is located on the lower right hand corner of the rear of the MX15 chassis. To access the input fuse connection block, the protective rear cover needs to be removed first. -

Page 16: Figure 2-4: Rear Panel
Installation Manual CAUTION: The AC input fuses can only be checked if the MX15 is completely de-energized and disconnected from any AC power input. Note: Under no circumstances should AC input power be applied if one or more of the AC input line fuses have failed and opened up. -
Page 17: Output Connections
If the EUT changes frequently, you may want to consider using some quick disconnect scheme external to the MX15 so it will not be necessary to power down the MX15 and remove the front covers. This can take the form of a panel-mounted socket of sufficient current and voltage rating. -

2.6.4 Multi-Chassis Output Connections If two or more MX15 chassis are used to form a single power system, the outputs of all chassis need to be combined (paralleled). This can be done directly at the EUT if convenient or using the provided heavy-duty terminal block. -
Page 25: Connectors - Rear Panel
A set of two identical System Interface connectors, P8 and P9 is located on the rear panel of each MX15 chassis. The system interface is used to connect the multiple MX15 power sources in a Master/Auxiliary configuration to create MX30/2 and MX45/3 models. In these configurations, only the Master MX15 power source has a built-in controller and front panel. -

Page 28: Multiple Cabinet System Configurations
Master units each have their own controller but can be configured as auxiliary units by disconnecting the ribbon cable marked J17 between the controller and the system interface board (P/N 7005-701-1). This disables the controller and allows the MX15 to operate as an Auxiliary unit. (Requires removal of the top cover) When used as a multi-cabinet system for higher power applications, the controllers in the unit(s) acting as the auxiliary to the master are either disabled or not present. -
Page 29: Clock And Lock Configurations
Master/Auxiliary which requires each chassis to have it's own controller. As such, it is possible to create 1, 2, or 3 phase power systems using 2 to 3 MX15 chassis. For most single phase configurations, the normal multi-box mode of operation as described in section 2.8 is recommended as it provides a single controller (and GPIB/RS232 control interface). -
Page 30: Table 2-8: Clock And Lock Initialization Settings
California Instruments 2.9.2 Clock/Lock Initialization Settings The mode of operation of the MX15 is determined by the MODE setting in the CONTROL menu. If the clock and lock option is enabled, three choices will be available for this field: STAN, MAST, and AUX. -
Page 31: Basic Initial Functional Test
Make sure the power resistor has sufficient power dissipation capability - up to 15 KW for full load test per MX15 - and that the load used does not exceed the maximum power rating of the MX15. -
