Figure 2 - 6. Sample Power Disconnect Option
For any cables in an assembly, allow some slack to rest below metal parts. The slack is
called a "drip loop". With a drip loop, water from rain and condensation drips from the cable
without damaging associated mechanical equipment.
Installations where the power cable is wired directly to the power source must be sealed with
waterproofing compound to prevent water ingress into the power cable.
