When installing into a rack, both front and rear support is required. Fixed rear support rails are provided, which can be adjusted at time of installation to fit a variety of equipment rack depths, up to 32" (81.3 cm) from front vertical rack rail to rear vertical rack rail. These included support rails are designed to mate to inserts on the |product_full| side panels using included hardware. .. _fig-installation-rail-slx: .. figure:: _images/diagram_slx_rail.* :align: center Included rear support rails for the |product| .. note:: Mechanical supports and cooling airflow for the |product_full| are designed for horizontal installation only. Alternative mounting orientations are not recommended. The following steps, which reference :numref:`fig-installation-rack-slx`, should be followed when installing |product_full| products into a rack: 1. Install 8 clip nuts on the rack frame (not provided). There are 4 front support locations and 4 rear support locations. 2. Secure the rear rails in the back of the rack by securing the rear rail mounting ears to the rear clip nuts using the #10-32 x 1/2" screws (Item 17054); 4 total. 3.

This airflow allows two or more |product_full| to be stacked without any vertical clearance required and to avoid pulling in polluntants from the room with suitable air filtration or conditioning on the equipment rack's air intake. Equipment racks should be equipped with fans or blowers to remove heat generated by the power supplies. Equipment racks housing the |product_full| should be equipped with either an open back, back with grills, or closed back with cabinet fans to remove heat generated by the |product_full|. Magna-Power recommends fresh air intake at the bottom of the cabinet and exhaust fans at the top pulling air out of the cabinet. For cabinet fans to be effective, the ambient intake air temperature outside the rack must be less than the air temperature inside the rack. The |product_full| is rated for 50°C ambient operating temperature. In the case of rack installation, this corresponds to the temperature inside the rack and adequate cooling measures must be taken to ensure the rack's internal temperature stays below 50°C. The following table provides Magna-Power's recommended per unit cabinet air flow when installing the |product_full| in a fully enclosed cabinet, with example room temperatures at 25°C and 40°C: .. csv-table:: :file: _tables/installation-cfm-slx.csv :header-rows: 1 :widths: 20 20 30 30 :class: table-specifications .. note:: The table above accounts for only a single product at each respective power level. When sizing cabinet fans, it is necessary to account for the heat produced by all the products in the cabinet. .. caution:: Do not block the air intake on the sides of the product, nor the exhaust at the rear of the product. Blocking these vents could cause the product to overheat. The recommended minimum clearances are 2 inches (5.1 cm) along the sides and back. .. note:: The product is equipped with thermocouples to monitor temperatures inside the product. In the event internal temperatures are exceeded due to excessive internal temperature, the product will shutdown and an over-temperature fault will be displayed. AC Input Connection ------------------- .. warning:: Before attempting any installation or decommissioning procedure, disconnect AC power from the mains and ensure 0 Vac is measured from the AC input terminals to ground. The |product_full| uses a Phoenix Contact internal header and a provided Phoenix Contact mating connector to create a secure and finger-safe AC connection to the product. The |product_full| is phase orientation insensitive, allowing the phases to be connected in any order. The ground connection must be connected to the position labeled with a ground :ref:`symbol `; ground is the rightmost connection on the AC input header. .. note:: Products with a three phase AC input require all three phases to operate. These products cannot be operated with a single phase connection. .. warning:: Never attempt to operate the product without a ground connection. Not connecting the ground is a safety hazard and could result in injury or death. Magna-Power recommends AC cables sizes in accordance with the recommendations of the :ref:`National Electrical Code ` or :ref:`Suggested Ampacities of 4-Conductor Type S or SO Cable `. .. note:: The cable recommendations provided are for reference purposes only. Always consult local electrical code requirements to ensure compliance. The AC wire should be stripped of 0.4" (10 mm) of insulation. The mating connector uses a Philips screw to secure the wire to the connector. After inserting each stripped wire into the connector, the corresponding Philips screw should be tightened to a torque of 0.5 Nm to 0.8 Nm. After all AC input wires and the ground wire have been secured to the mating connector, insert the mating connector to the green AC header connection on the |product_full|, indicated by the text AC INPUT. The mating connector is locked into place using a plastic flange. Additional, Philips screws are provided on both sides of the connector. Secure the mating connector to the header by tightening the screws on both sides to a torque of 0.3 Nm to 0.7 Nm. .. _fig-installation-inputcable-slx: .. figure:: _images/diagram_slx_input_cable.* :align: center AC input connection for |product_full| .. _table-installation-cablesac: .. csv-table:: Suggested Ampacities of Various Conductors as Recommended by the National Electrical Code :file: /_common-all/_tables/installation-cablesac.csv :header-rows: 1 :widths: 20 20 20 20 20 :class: longtable table-specifications-responsive table-specifications .. _table-installation-cablesac2: .. csv-table:: Suggested Ampacities of 4-Conductor Type S or SO Cable :file: /_common-all/_tables/installation-cablesac2.csv :header-rows: 1 :widths: 30 30 :class: longtable table-specifications-responsive table-specifications Ground Verification ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ With the breaker open and 0 Vac confirmed between every AC input terminal and ground, verify protective-earth continuity: Using a properly rated ohmmeter or continuity tester, measure the resistance between any exposed unpainted chassis screw and the protective-earth conductor in the ground from the Phoenix AC input connector. The reading should be ≤ 0.1 Ω, confirming a solid ground path. If the resistance is higher—or if any voltage is present—correct the ground connection before energizing the product. AC Input Verification ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Apply AC power to the product by connecting the disconnect or breaker to the mains. Measure the phase-to-phase voltage with a true-RMS multimeter. Measurements of A-B (one-phase) or A-B, B-C, and A-C (three-phase) each must be within ± 10 % of the rated input voltage and within 1% of one another (phase balance). .. _installation-input-fuse: Fuse Rating ^^^^^^^^^^^ |product| |product_type_plural| contain a variety of power and control fuses. For |product_type| products with a 1-phase input, there are two (2) power fuses and two (2) control fuses. For |product_type| products with a 3-phase input, there are three (3) power fuses and two (2) control fuses. :numref:`table-installation-fuse` provides the fuses ratings and recommended replacements. Due to in-rush current limiting circuitry in the |product_full|, current draw will not exceed the maximum current rating, even under start-up, allowing for the use of either fast- or slow-blow fuses. In the event of a fuse fault, AC power must be disconnected from the product and the fuse must be replaced to correct this condition. A cleared power fuse usually indicates a power stage failure, often requiring factory attention. In addition, a cleared fuse can be caused by power surges from lightning storms or other AC transient events. .. warning:: To avoid personal injury or damage to the |product_full|, use only the specified replacement fuses. .. _table-installation-fuse: .. csv-table:: Fuse ratings for |product_full| :file: _tables/installation-fuse-slx.csv :header-rows: 1 :widths: 12 16 21 16 19 16 :class: longtable table-specifications-responsive table-specifications DC Output Connection -------------------- .. warning:: **Shock Hazard** Turn off AC power before making any rear panel connections. Ensure that |product_type| connections, load wiring, and load connections are either insulated or covered so that no accidental contact with lethal output voltages can occur. The |product_full| DC output connections are made by attaching cables to the output bus bars: one for the positive DC output connection and one for the negative DC output connection. Magna-Power recommends DC power cables be crimped to ring terminals and securely fastened to bus bars using the included 3/8" bolts, washers, and lock washers. The bus bars contain 3/8"-16 threaded inserts. The recommended torque for the DC connection is 15 lb-ft (20.3 Nm). .. _fig-installation-output-slx: .. figure:: _images/diagram_slx_output.* :align: center DC output bus bars for |product_full| Magna-Power recommends selecting a wire size sufficient to handle the product's maximum output current rating, regardless of the intended load current or current set point. The recommended wire size based on output current is shown in the table below. .. csv-table:: :file: /_common-all/_tables/installation-cablesdc.csv :header-rows: 1 :widths: 25 25 25 25 :class: longtable table-specifications-responsive table-specifications Notes: 1. The current capacity for AWG wires derived from the National Electric Code. Maximum ambient temperature: 40°C. Maximum wire temperature: 90°C. Continuous duty with wires in free air, not bundled or in conduit. 2. The current capacity of aluminum wire is approximately 84% of the capacity listed for copper wire. 3. For higher current levels, it's recommended to use bus bars with holes for additional cable feeds or direct bus bar connection to the load. .. warning:: **FIRE HAZARD** Select a wire size large enough to carry the |product_full| model's maximum rated current to prevent overheating of the wires. Make sure power cable connections are secured tightly in accordance with the torque recommendation to prevent overheating of the bus bars. Grounding the DC Output ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The |product_full| DC output is floating up to the DC output isolation specifications. A floating output means the output terminals are not electrically connected to ground and the produced output voltage is from the positive terminal with respect to the negative terminal. Neither output terminal needs to be connected to ground, however if desired, either the positive or negative terminal can be connected to earth ground.
