Overcurrent Protection Requirements

This product does not provide branch circuit overcurrent protection as defined by the U.S. NEC. To comply with the U.S. NEC, you must install this product on branch circuits that have overcurrent protection as defined by Article 240 of the U.S. NEC.

  • Product power inputs with a current ratings of 16A or less must have a branch circuit, or a supplementary overcurrent protection device, rated at no more than 20A.

  • Product power inputs with current rating of more than 16A must have a branch circuit, or a supplementary overcurrent protection device, rated at no more than 160% of the product input current rating.

  • Other national or local electrical codes might apply to the installation of this product.

  • For the DC input configuration, power is fed to the PSU via customer-provided double-pole 50A DC circuit breaker.

As a general guideline, overcurrent protection devices should be rated at a minimum of 125% of the product input current rating in order to provide reliable power under high temperature and transient voltage disturbance conditions. However, you must consider the characteristics of the protection device and the applicable electrical codes when selecting the rating of a protection device for the product installation.


Note -  Overcurrent protection devices must meet applicable national and local electrical safety codes, and be approved for the intended application.
