In a single phase system consisting of two or three units there will be one master unit that will have a full controller and the slaves will have blank front panels except for the circuit breaker and indicator lights The units must all be connected with the system interface cable but not the clock and lock cables The HI outputs on all the terminal blocks should be connected together The LO outputs should all be connected together and a heavy duty cable run to the load from the HI and LO outputs See Table 3 1 for cable sizing The appropriate jumpers have been installed at the factory before shipment If it becomes necessary to change the system to three phase output please consult the factory 3 8 Output Voltage Ranges The iX Series Il power sources have two AC voltage ranges 150Vrms and 300Vrms and two DC voltage ranged 200Vdc and 400Vdc The maximum available load current is a function of both the mode of operation AC DC or mode and the selected voltage range high or low 3 9 Functional Test CAUTION Work carefully when performing these tests hazardous voltages are present on the input and output during this test Refer to Figure 3 11 for the test set up 1 Connect an oscilloscope voltmeter and or distortion analyzer to the AC source output at the output terminal block TB2 2 With the AC mains verified as being off apply the correct three phase AC power input voltage connections to the AC sour
