Power connector(s)
This instrument is designed to operate from a single-phase power source with the neutral conductor at or near earth ground. Only
the line conductor is fused for over-current protection. A protective ground connection through the grounding conductor in the
power cord is essential for safe operation.
The instrument operates from an AC line frequency of 50/60 Hz, over the range of 100 - 240 VAC (±10%), without the need for
configuration. See
AC power requirements
WARNING. Injury or death can occur as the result of electrical shock. To avoid electrical shock, do not connect power to the
instrument when the top cover is off. There are dangerous potentials present on the Power Supply circuit boards when the power
cord is connected.
Disconnect the power cord from a Power Supply module before you remove the module from the instrument. Also, do not
connect a power cord to a Power Supply module while the module is not installed in the instrument. There are dangerous high
voltages on the module when the power cord is connected.
Backup power supply (Option DPW only). The standard instrument includes one Power Supply module. With Option DPW, a
second hot-swappable redundant (backup) Power Supply module is installed. See the SPG8000A User Manual for detailed
information about how to operate the instrument with two power supplies.
