AC Power Cable
Types of AC Power Cables
The AC power cables delivered must comply with the standards used in the delivery destination. This section uses the AC power cables complying with China's national standards as an example.
AC power cables are classified into two types: C13 straight female to PI straight male AC power cable and C13 straight female to C14 straight male AC power cable.
Appearance and Structure
Figure 6-1 shows the appearance of a C13 straight female to PI straight male AC power cable.
Figure 6-2 shows the appearance of a C13 straight female to C14 straight male AC power cable.
Connection
An AC power cable is connected to the AC power module of the device:
- The C13 straight female connector is connected to the power socket of a power module.
- The PI straight male or C14 straight male connector is connected to a power source.
When a 600 W AC&240 V DC power module or 1200 W AC&240 V DC power module uses 240 V high-voltage power input, it must be connected to the power supply device using a C13 straight female to C14 straight male AC power cable. This power cable is connected as follows:
- The C13 straight female connector is connected to the power socket of the 600 W AC&240 V DC power module or 1200 W AC&240 V DC power module.
- The C14 straight male connector is connected to a high-voltage DC PDU. If a high-voltage DC power distribution box is used, make OT or cord end terminals for the cable. Cut the C14 straight male connector off and crimp OT or cord end terminals on the bare wires. Connect the blue wire to a positive terminal on the DC power distribution box, the brown wire to a negative terminal, and the yellow-green wire to a protection ground. If the switch fails to be powered on after you connect the power cable, swap the wires on the positive and negative terminals.
