Ac Input Connector, 1500W Models; Ac Input Connector, 750W Models; Ac Input Cord; Ac Input Wire Connection, 1500W Models - TDK-Lambda Genesys GEN6-100 User Manual

Some components inside the power supply are at AC voltage even when the On/Off switch is in the
"Off" position. To avoid electric shock hazard, disconnect the line cord and load and wait two minutes
before removing cover.
AC Input Wires No Conductor Pretreatment: Phoenix Contact clamping parts are designed so
that all kinds of copper conductors can be clamped without pretreatment.
It is forbidden to solder the conductors. The solder tin yields and fractures under high pressure. The
result is increased contact resistance and an excessive temperature rise. In addition, corrosion
caused by pickling or fluxes has been observed on soldered conductor ends. Notch fractures at the
transition point from the rigid to the flexible conductor area are also possible.

3.7.1 AC Input Connector, 1500W models

The AC input connector is a 3-Terminal wire clamp located on the rear panel:
Phoenix Contact P/N: FRONT4-H-7.62/3
Use suitable wires and tightening torque as follows:
1. Wire diameter: 12AWG or 10AWG.
2. Tightening torque: 4.4-5.3Lb-inch. (0.5-0.6Nm).

3.7.2 AC Input Connector, 750W models

An IEC connector is provided on the rear panel for connecting the unit to the AC power source with
an AC cord. The IEC connector also provides the safety ground connection while the AC cord is
plugged into an appropriate AC receptacle.

3.7.3 AC Input Cord

The AC input cord is the disconnect device of the power
supply. The plug must be readily identifiable and accessible to
the user. The AC input cord must be no longer than 3m.
Refer to section 1.3.4 for details of the AC input cords recommended for the 750W and the 1500W
models.

3.7.4 AC Input Wire Connection, 1500W models

1.Strip the outside insulation of the AC cable approx. 10cm. Trim the wires so that the ground wire is
10mm longer than the other wires. Strip 14mm at the end of each of the wires.
2.Unscrew the base of the strain relief from the helix-shaped body. Insert the base through the
outside opening in the AC input cover and screw the locknut securely (11-14 Lb-inch.) into the
base, from the inside.
3.Slide the helix-shaped body onto the AC cable. Insert the stripped wires through the strain relief
base until the outer cable jacket is flush with the edge of the base. Tighten (16-18 Lb-inch.) the
body to the base while holding the cable in place. Now the cable is securely fastened inside the
