Using HVAC/HVDC power cords

HVAC/HVDC power supply power cords, available from Brocade, are shipped with an Anderson Saf-D-Grid® 400 connector on the power supply end and three unterminated 14 AWG UL 600V 90C wires with ring lugs on the power source end. Power cord length is 6 m (19 ft. 8 in.). For connecting to a power source, attach either an AC power plug to these wires that meets your facility and local code requirements, or connect these wires to appropriate DC power terminal blocks.

The following table defines the function of the 14 AWG wires in the power cable:

The Anderson Saf-D-Grid® connector on the power supply end of the cord is keyed so that it only fits one way into the power supply. Note that the connector's latch should be positioned under the connector and will latch when the power cord connector is fully inserted into the power supply.
