Alpha 800 Instruction Manual
The total voltage of a seriesed output must not exceed 160Vdc.
If any output or seriesed output is ES2 or ES3 then all the outputs in the PSU must be considered as ES2 or ES3
ES2 and ES3 outputs must be guarded or a deflector fitted during installation to avoid a service engineer making
inadvertent contact with the output terminals, or dropping a tool onto them.
All outputs have operational spacings to earth, and due consideration must be given to this in the end product
design.

Output Connector Ratings:
1. 6.35mm fastons are rated at 15A.
2. 9.5mm Faston terminals are rated at 32A (Tab thickness = 1.0mm, suitable Faston terminals are AMP
151667-2 or AMP 280223-2
3. M5 screw terminals are rated at 100A subject to the wire and wire connector used to connect them.
Maximum recommended torque setting for M5 screws is 2.4 - 2.6Nm.
Adjustment and Derating:
The Alpha 800 series is designed to provide a max output power of 1000W at nominal output voltages. The following
procedure must be used to ensure the PSU is operated within its ratings:
1. Calculate the user for power for each module (Volts x Amps).
2. Total power for slots 1-3 must be ≤720W. Total power for slots 4-7 must be ≤ 600W. Total power (slots 1-7)
not exceeding value stipulated in unit limitations table
3. Calculate user ampere turns (Amps x turns) for each module.
4. Add total ampere turns: Slots 1-3 ≤120. Slots 4-7 ≤120. Total of slots 1-7 ≤ 200AT
