Figure 31. Relationship of wiring lugs on SSR 8600 DC power supply
Because of the SSR 8600 DC supply current requirements, each pole of the 48 Volt DC
source should use 6 gauge wire. Each 6 gauge wire can be divided into two 12 gauge wires
by using a conductive splitter-block. This creates two 12 gauge wires carrying positive (+)
current and two 12 gauge wires carrying negative current. In turn, both 12 gauge positive
(+) wires and both 12 gauge negative (-) wires are connected to the SSR 8600 DC power
supply wiring block. See
