Connecting the

DC Power Wires
with the Straight

Terminals

To use the straight terminals to connect the DC power wires to the positive
and negative terminals on the power supply, perform the following
procedure:

1. Prepare adequate lengths of two stranded 8 AWG power wires by

stripping them as shown in Figure 124.

Warning

Do not strip more than the recommended amount of wire. Stripping
more than the recommended amount can create a safety hazard by
leaving exposed wire on the terminal block after installation.  E10

You must use stranded wires with the terminal lugs. You may not
use solid wires.

2. Insert the power wires into the terminals included with the power

supply and use a crimping tool to secure the wires to the terminals.
