General Power and Grounding Requirements
General power and grounding requirements are:
• Installation of the routing system must follow national and local electrical codes:
• In the United States: United States National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 70 and United
States National Electrical Code (NEC).
• In Canada: Canadian Electrical Code, part I, CSA C22.1.
• In other countries: International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 60364, parts 1 through 7.
• Two separate and independent AC or DC power sources are needed to provide 2N redundancy for system
power. Each power source requires its own circuit breaker.
• Each power source must provide clean power to the site. If necessary, install a power conditioner.
• The site must provide short-circuit (over-current) protection for devices.
• Proper grounding is required at the site to ensure that equipment is not damaged by lightning and power
surges.
Ground lug connection is mandatory for the AC chassis version too.
