Re: [motm] Power cable length

2006-09-20 by Richard Brewster

Each of my cabinets has one or two power supplies of its own.  Each 
cabinet has the MOTM-900 or 950 panel mounted on the back with the power 
switch, which is normally left in the on position.  I run the AC power 
input of all to a common switched, surge-protected power bar and use 
that to turn everything on and off.

The top cabinet has a MOTM-900 and a MOTM-950, each with their own 
distribution boards, which I mount on the cabinet instead of on the supply.

My middle cabinet has one* Power-One* HBB15-1.5-A supply.  It connects 
to a MOTM-960 21-connector distribution board in the center of the 
cabinet.  Only the modules on the ends need a 30-inch MOTM supply connector.

My large dot com cabinet has one 3A supply, Power One HCC15-3-A.  I use 
one MOTM-960 21-connector expansion board, plus one of the 12-connector 
boards from a MOTM-900 supply.  The 960 is wired to the supply, and the 
daisy-chain connector on the other end is wired to the 12-connector 
board Sta-Cons.  I used #14 stranded copper wire.  Between the power 
supply and the 900 and then to the 12-connector board is about 15 inches 
each of that wire.  Most of the modules connect with the standard 
20-inch MOTM power connector.  I use a few of the 30-inch ones.

My cabinet page has some pictures.  The three at the bottom are current.
