THR4-S S ERIES POWER SYSTEM 2.2 AC Input Requirement 2.2.1 AC Input Voltage Table 3 shows the required AC input voltages for the available power modules. The power mod- ules under wide line (WL) can be connected to a nominal input voltage between 100 V & 240V.
THR4-S S ERIES POWER SYSTEM 2.2.2.2 Individual feed A system with an individual feed AC architecture feeds each power module slot with an AC feed. There are two different styles of individual feeds for this system. The first style of connection is made via rear accessed compression style terminal blocks see Figure 6.

THR4-S S ERIES POWER SYSTEM For this example we will assume that future growth is necessary so we will size the AC feed for four power modules. Using Table 4, each AC feed, to the pair of TH120048, power modules will require will require a 20 amp breaker with 12 AWG wire, at high line, per feed.
Each system is equipped with 2 unprotected bulk output connections; one set located on each side of the rear of the shelf. The THR4 rack will only accept lugs and THR400 will accept lugs or bus bars. Unprotected bulk connections are double, ¼"-20 (M6) studs with 5/8" centers. The maximum tongue width for bulk connections is 0.67".
THR4-S S ERIES POWER SYSTEM The National Electric Code table 310.16 provides ampacity values for various sizes, bundles, and insulation temperature rated wire. ALWAYS FOLLOW NEC RULES AND YOUR LOCAL COMPANY PRACTICES WHEN SELECTING DC WIRING AND PROTECTION. Table 5 shows recommended wire sizes.

THR4-S S ERIES POWER SYSTEM Mounting brackets Figure 4 - Mounting brackets 5.2 AC input 5.2.1 Dual feed with terminal blocks Remove safety cover over the terminal block shown in Figure 5. Feed AC wires through hole on terminal block cover and connect wires from AC cord into appropriate positions labeled in Figure 6.
AC Receptacle 3 AC Receptacle 2 AC Receptacle 1 Figure 8 - Rear View (IEC320 AC Connections) (THR4) 5.2.4 AC Cord Brackets Optional brackets are available to secure the IEC320 plugs to the shelf on an individual feed sys- tem. Follow the instructions below for using these brackets.
5.3 DC Output DC connections are accomplished via the two rear bulk output connection as shown in Figure 11 (THR4) & Figure 12 (THR400). Torque connections according to Table 7. DO NOT exceed the current rating of the shelf from section 2.3.
"-" for negative. A DC reference ground should be connected to the appropriate output for desired polarity of the system. Repeat connections for the other side. Plastic knockouts Figure 11 - DC output connections (THR4) 5.3.2 Circuit 23 Connect lugged wires or bus bars to the rear accessed bulk outputs. Verify polarity of connec- tions before power units on.
THR4-S S ERIES POWER SYSTEM Alarm Connection NIC connections RJ45/RS232 Figure 13 - Alarm Connection 5.5 NIC interface (optional) An optional NIC interface is available. The Nic card has a 10/100 baseT (RJ45) connection in the front of the shelf with a RS232 (RJ45) in the rear. Follow directions in NIC "Quick Start Guide".
THR4-S S ERIES POWER SYSTEM 6 Test and Turn-U U p 6.1 Power Up Once all AC and DC connections have been secured and checked, install each power module sequentially by sliding and latching each power module into a rack position as shown in Figure 17.

THR4-S S ERIES POWER SYSTEM Latch Handle Latch Button Figure 17 - Power Module Removal 9 Troubleshooting 9.1 Problems and Solutions The modular, plug-n-play nature of this plant makes diagnostics and repair very easy. Make sure that all power modules are properly seated and latched into their respective slots. Make sure that all power and signal connectors are properly mated.
THR4-S S ERIES POWER SYSTEM Figure 18 - Short Circuit & Current Limit 10 NIC Information (Optional) An optional NIC is available for additional control of the system. You can connect a computer to the NIC card via a straight through patch cable through a hub or router, or via a crossover cable for direct connection.
