AC Input

• The standard RM10 (RM10-00) is supplied with linking busbars for the
AC input.
• With the use of a 7 wire cable loom (RMAC1500-00), the RM10 can be
configured for a number of different AC (1Ø, 2Ø, 3Ø) inputs.

• Cabling to individual rectifier positions is still in development and will be

available at a later date (date yet to be advised).
