Elmo PSS User Guide MAN-PSSUG (Ver. 3.01) Chapter 3: Installation Unpacking the System Components To unpack the PSS: Carefully remove the power supply from the box and the Styrofoam. Check the supply to ensure that there is no visible damage to the instrument. If any damage has occurred, report immediately to the carrier that delivered your product.
Elmo PSS User Guide MAN-PSSUG (Ver. 3.01) The AC power supply can be of any voltage in the range defined in the technical specifications (section 2.4). It must be able to deliver power to the amplifiers (including peak power), without significant drops. A three-phase supply is always recommended whenever possible, in order to provide better DC bus voltage stability (low voltage ripple) under high load conditions.

Elmo PSS User Guide MAN-PSSUG (Ver. 3.01) 3.3.2 Capacitor Reforming All PSS power supplies undergo capacitor reforming prior to shipment to the customer. However, if the power supply has been idle (at the customer site) for a period of nine months or more, the capacitors must be reformed before startup.
