•The mains power cord shall have an IEC C13 connector at one end and a mains
power plug at the other end.
•An IEC C13 plug has three pins, the center pin carrying the earth / ground. The other
two pins carry neutral and live circuits.
•The conductors of the mains cords shall have adequate cross-sectional area for rated
current consumption of the equipment.
•The mains plug that connects to the mains supply must be approved for use in the
country where the equipment is to be used.
•The mains power cord must be an IEC mains power cord complying with standard
IEC60320; IEC320/C13.

V-Series Panels |User Guide
