2.6.2 Output Terminal Blocks
The MX45-3Pi and MX45-3 have two output terminal blocks, TB1A and TB1B. The MX45-1 only
has one output terminal block, TB1B. The terminal blocks are large enough to accommodate the
recommended wire gauge sizes shown in Table 2-2. The terminal blocks are located in the lower
right corner on the front of the unit. The front panel needs to be removed to access these terminal
blocks.
CAUTION: REMOVE ALL INPUT POWER TO THE MX45 BEFORE
REMOVING THE FRONT PANEL.
The correct standard size Allen wrenches for connecting output wiring to TB1A and/or TB1B are
supplied with each MX45 in the ship kit. Look for a brown envelope. If the correct tools cannot
be found, contact California Instruments customer service at
Terminal block TB1B always provides the output neutral connection, regardless of the phase
mode (1 or 3 phase output mode).
In single-phase mode, phase A output is provided through terminal 1 of TB1B.
In three-phase mode, phase A, B and C outputs are provided trough terminals 1, 2 and 3 of TB1A
respectively.
