Power Specifications
Some units in System/38 must be supplied with
standard three-phase power; other units need
single-phase power. The power requirements for each
unit are specified in the Electrical Specifications Chart.
Available nominal voltages are shown on the
specifications pages. When a unit is ordered, the order
specifies the nominal voltage of the power source to
which the unit will be connected. The unit can be
changed in the field so that it will operate at a different
nominal voltage.
Measure voltage on each unit at its receptacle. A
transient-voltage condition must not exceed +15% or
-18 % of the specified nominal voltage, and must return
to the specified range within one-half second.
Voltage limits are shown in Figure 5-1. The Electrical
Specifications Chart specifies typical plugs, connectors,
and receptacles. (50 Hz machines are usually shipped
without plugs.)
5-2
Line frequency must be maintained within :!:1 /2 Hz
(cycles per second).
The maximum harmonic content of the power system
voltage wave forms on the equipment feeder lines must
not exceed :!:5 % when the equipment is not operating.
