Power Connections

Power Source

The PDX208 operates from a single-phase power source having one of its
current-carrying conductors at or near earth ground (the neutral conductor). A fuse on
the line conductor provides over-current protection. Tektronix does not recommend
connection to systems whose power source has both current carrying conductors live
with respect to ground, such as phase-to-phase in multi-phase systems.

Source Power Frequency and Voltage Ranges

The PDX208 operates at line frequencies of 50 or 60 Hz at nominal voltages from 100
to 240 VAC. Table 2-1 lists the power cord options available. Figure 2-10 shows the
location of the power cord connector and the power switch.

Insure that the power switch is set to 0 (Off). Attach the power cord from the PDX208
to the appropriate power source.
