Check AC power and ground for G600

November 2003
Check AC power and ground for G600
!
WARNING:
The alternating current (AC) power circuit must be dedicated to the system. The circuit must not be
shared with other equipment and must not be controlled by a wall switch. The AC receptacle must
not be located under the G600’s main distribution frame and must be easily accessible.
!
DANGER:
The latch only removes the cabinet’s direct current (DC) power. Unseating the power
supply removes AC power from the power supply, but not from the cabinet. To
remove the cabinet’s AC power, pull the AC power cord from the AC appliance
connector behind the cabinet.
!
WARNING:
System grounding must comply with the general rules for grounding provided in Article 250 of the
National Electrical Code (NEC), National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) 70, or the applicable
electric code in the country of installation.
!
WARNING:
AC mains wiring and testing must be performed by a qualified electrician and must conform to
Article 250 of the NEC, NFPA 70, or the applicable electric code in the country of installation.
!
WARNING:
Be sure that, with the other equipment installed in the rack, the G600 will not generate an
overcurrent or over load condition. Verify that the customer’s branch circuit and/or power-
distribution strip are adequate with respect to overload and overcurrent protection.
Check AC power
Each G600 uses an auto-ranging (85 to 264 VAC) power supply, 47 to 63 Hz, 330 Watts, 4.5 Amps (100
to120 VAC) or 2.3 Amps (200 to 240 VAC), at 500 VoltAmps (VA).
The AC power source can be 1 phase of 120 VAC with neutral (100 VAC for Japan) with 15-Amp circuit
breaker, or 1 phase of 220 or 240 VAC (200 VAC for Japan) with 10-Amp circuit breaker. The AC cord
uses a NEMA 5-15P plug or an IEC 320 plug.
Before powering up the system, check the AC power in the equipment room using a KS-20599 digital
voltmeter (DVM) (or equivalent).
To check AC power:
1 Measure the AC voltage between the hot and neutral sides of the receptacle.
2 Depending on the AC power source, verify that the meter reads 90 to 132 VAC or 180 to
264 VAC. If not, have a qualified electrician correct the problem.
3 Measure the voltage between the neutral and ground sides of the receptacle.
