Figure 3-4 Relationship of wiring lugs on RS 8600 DC power supply
Because of the RS 8600 DC supply current requirements, each pole of the 48 Volt DC source should use 6-gauge wire.
Each 6-gauge wire can be divided into two 12-gauge wires by using a conductive splitter-block. This creates two
12-gauge wires carrying positive (+) current and two 12-gauge wires carrying negative (–) current. In turn, both
12-gauge positive (+) wires and both 12-gauge negative (–) wires are connected to the RS 8600 DC power supply
wiring block. See Figure 3-5.
Figure 3-5 Splitting each source wire to two 12-gauge wires
An alternate method of wiring the RS 8600 power supply is to use a single set of wires (+ and –) from the DC source,
and tie the RS 8600’s wiring screws together (+ to + and – to –) by using suitably rated jumpers. See Figure 3-6.
