FIGURE 1-1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION The Kepco RA 59 rack adapter is specifically designed for the installation of Kepco HSP Series Power Supplies into 24.inch EIA standard equipment racks. Each rack adapter accommodates from one to four HSP power supplies. An internal plate assembly mounts connectors which...
Two (2) brackets required for each rack adapter. Mount each bracket SUPPORT BRACKET (REAR) 128-1909 using two (2) 6-32 X 3/8" thread-forming screws (Kepco p/n 101-0456) and two (2) internal tooth lock washers (Kepco p/n 103-0015), see Figure 1-2. SCREW, THREAD FORMING 101-0456 Two (2) screws required to mount each rear support bracket.
* Mounting hardware is assembled to output studs. RACK ADAPTER KEYING INSTRUCTIONS The RA 59 rack adapter incorporates a keying mechanism to prevent accidental insertion of the incorrect model HSP power supply into any position. The HSP power supplies are keyed by voltage at the factory.
REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS SOURCE POWER REQUIREMENTS When used in conjunction with Kepco HSP series power supplies, this rack adapter can be operated from single-phase a-c source power without adjustment or modification. Voltage and frequency limits are determined by the source power rating of the HSP power supplies. Opera- tion from d-c or three-phase a-c power is also available: please contact factory.
2.7.2 SOURCE POWER CONNECTIONS The rear panel of the RA 59 rack adapter (Figure 2-2) includes nine terminal blocks to allow for individual connection of single-phase a-c and d-c input power to each position, These terminal blocks are labeled Ll, Nl, L2, N2, L3, N3, L4, N4, and G. Each terminal block will accommodate up to #6 AWG (16mm ) or equivalent conductor size.
The conductor used to connect terminals Lx and Nx to source power must be sized for the 16 ampere maximum source current drawn by HSP Series power supplies; Kepco recommends #I4 AWG (2.5mm2) or equivalent minimum conductor size to sup- port this current.
2.7.5.3 MIXED OPERATION The design of the RA 59 permits the user to configure HSP power supplies for almost any com- bination of independent, series and parallel operation, both within a single rack adapter and between different RA 59 rack adapters, within the limits of the HSP operation envelope. The...
