Take into consideration the ratings on power supplies when connecting
them to your supply circuits. Overloading circuits can destroy overcurrent
protection as well as supply wiring.
Use a single-phase grounded AC power source located within 6 feet (1.89

Use only certified and suitable power cables and plug assemblies for your

branch circuits with proper earth connections.
