The power entry panel (PEP) provides the access point for main AC input into an ATE Core Configurations Generation 2 system. The PEP also provides a branch-rated disconnect breaker, power monitoring circuitry, power line filtering, and emergency disconnect contactors.

There are seven PEPs compatible with ATE Core Configurations Generation 2 systems:

Each PEP contains the following:
  • Applicable IEC power entry connector
  • Branch-rated input breaker[2]2 The PEP input current rating is 80% of the branch breaker rating.
  • Applicable line filters and transient suppressors for EMI protection within the system
  • Applicable kill-switch relay for emergency shutoff of Mains power through Emergency Shutdown (EMO)
  • One external GND terminal that can be used to connect to your facility GND[3]3 This connection is required for PEPs with hardwired input connections.
  • Power outlets to provide power to the RCU and fan AC/DC power supplies
  • Two C13 power outlets which remain powered on during an EMO event to provide power to "always on" equipment
  • One to three C19 outlets
  • UPS interface
  • RCU communication port

PEP Naming

ATE Core Configurations Generation 2 PEP names can be used to determine their current rating, phase, and maximum voltage using the following guide:


ATE Core Configurations Generation 2 PEP phases can be determined using the signifying letter in their names and the following table:
Table 9. ATE Core Configurations Generation 2 PEP Phases
Signifying Letter Phase
S Single Phase
D 3-Phase Delta
Y 3-Phase Wye
ATE Core Configurations Generation 2 PEP maximum voltages can be determined using the signifying number in their names following the phase letter and the following table:
Table 10. ATE Core Configurations Generation 2 PEP Outlet Specifications
Signifying String Outlet Specification
2 240 V

PEPs whose names end in "P" have a 3-Phase output to power 3-Phase instruments in the rack.

1 Power that the PEP can distribute to the rack equipment, calculated using the input current rating of the PEP and the maximum supported voltage. The continuous power dissipated inside the rack must be limited to the power dissipation capabilities of the system.

2 The PEP input current rating is 80% of the branch breaker rating.

3 This connection is required for PEPs with hardwired input connections.
