A36F - 3 PHASE - INSTRUCTIONS AND TROUBLESHOOTINGPage 8 of 216.4 SHOCKThe rectifier in its shipping container, withstands shock developed when one edge of the container isdropped six (6) inches while the opposite edge is resting on the ground, or it is dropped two (2) incheson any surface without any physical damage or degradation of the electrical performance.6.5 VIBRATIONThe rectifier in its shipping container withstands vibration encountered in shipping without physicaldamage or degradation of the electrical performance.6.6 ALTITUDEThis rectifier is capable of operation at altitudes to 10,000 feet at an ambient temperature ofup to +40 degrees C.6.7 VENTILATIONThe unit should be mounted so that ventilating openings are not blocked and air entering the cabinetdoes not exceed 122 degrees F.6.8 AUDIBLE NOISEAudible noise is not greater than 65 DBA measured at 5 feet from any surface on the unit enclosure.7.0 INSTALLATION INFORMATION7.1 MINIMUM WIRE SIZESTable 2 lists the a.c. input and the D.C. output minimum wire size requirements. At distances exceeding10 feet, the d.c. wire size should be chosen to keep the voltage difference between the units d.c.output terminals and the battery at less than 1/2 volt when the unit is fully loaded. See Section 7.6 for“POWER CABLING FORMULAS”. The total loop length is twice the distance from the wiring point to theunit.7.2 WIRE SIZE TABLE(Refer to TABLE 2)7.3 NATIONAL CODESThese wire sizes are based on those recommended in the National Electric Code Table 310-16 for copperwire at 75 degrees C conductor temperature operating in an ambient of 30 degrees C. For higheroperating temperatures refer to the derating factors in the National Electric Code Table 310-16.7.4 FIELD GROUND TERMINALThis terminal should be connected to an earth ground. The size of the conductor is based on NationalElectric Code Table 250-95 for copper wire at 75 degrees C. (See Table #3 for recommended wire sizes.)7.5 MOUNTINGInstall the rectifier so that the flow of air through the ventilators is not obstructed.
