Utility Power Connection Notes

CAUTION:

Installation must be performed by qualified service personnel

only, and in compliance with local electrical codes. Connection

to utility power must be approved by the local utility before

installing the power supply.

NOTE:

UL and NEC require that a service disconnect switch (UL listed)

be provided by the installer and be connected between the

power source and the Alpha power supply. Connection to the

power supply must include an appropriate service entrance

weather head.

CAUTION:

A “high magnetic” trip breaker must be used in order to

accommodate the high-inrush currents normally associated with

the start-up of ferroresonant transformers (400 Amp, no-trip,

first-half cycle). Do not replace this breaker with a conventional

service entrance breaker. Alpha recommends only Airpax

breakers because of increased reliability in this powering

application.
