  • Page 5: Input

    INPUT AC Input Line Requirements Please see the datasheet for the specification of input line requirements (including Input voltage range, input frequency, input harmonics, input current and leakage current). The power supply will automatically recover from AC power loss and start-up with maximum loading at 90VAC. Repetitive ON/OFF cycling of the AC input voltage will not damage the power supply or cause the input fuse to blow.
  • Page 6: Hipot Testing

    HIPOT TESTING Isolation testing During the manufacturing process, all QM units are subjected to safety Hipot testing. If conducting these tests on the end equipment, it is important to ensure that the high voltage is ramped up and down over a period of greater than 1 second to ensure that no damage occurs to the unit under test.
