Electrical
The following section provides information about the PXIe-1095 AC input and DC output.
AC Input
Input rating[1]1 Care must be taken to not exceed the current rating of the branch circuit providing power to the chassis. For high power configurations with dual power supplies, the supplies may need to be powered by separate branch circuits. | 100 to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 15 - 7.5 A, 100 to 120 VAC, 440 Hz, 15 A |
Operating voltage range[2]2 The operating range is guaranteed by design. | 90 to 264 VAC |
Nominal input frequency | 50 Hz/60 Hz/400 Hz[3]3 400 Hz operation only supported from 100 to 120 VAC. |
Operating frequency range[4]4 The operating range is guaranteed by design. | 47 to 440 Hz |
Efficiency | 85% typical |
Over-current protection | Internal fuse in line |
Main power disconnect | The AC power cable provides main power disconnect. Do not position the equipment so that it is difficult to disconnect the power cord. The front-panel power switch causes the internal chassis power supply to provide DC power to the PXI Express backplane. With the Timing and Synchronization upgrade, you also can use the rear-panel 15-pin connector and inhibit mode switch to control the internal chassis power supply. |
- The facility installation shall provide a means for connection to protective earth; and
- Qualified personnel shall install a protective earthing conductor from the chassis protective earth terminal (# 8-32 SEMS screw) on the rear to the protective earth wire in the facility.
