DC Power Cord Preparation
-
Make sure the ground wire is either the same or heavier gauge than the power wires.
-
Do not use aluminum wires in the power supply's power cord.
-
To prevent the possibility of a terminal short, use a pin terminal that has an insulating sleeve.
-
If the ends of the individual wires are not twisted correctly, the wires may create a short circuit.
-
The conductor type is solid or stranded wire.
-
Use copper wire rated for 75 °C (167 °F) or higher.
-
Use the SELV (Safety Extra-Low Voltage) circuit and LIM (Limited Energy) circuit for DC input.

*1 Since a high level of current flows in the DC model, thick wires are recommended to minimize voltage drops due to wiring.
*2 When using stranded wires, confirm the level of current supported by the wire.
