Primary Power Cabinet Hardware
The type of cabinet mounting can have an effect on the power requirements. Underwriters’
Laboratory (UL) and local electrical codes require certain standards for connecting commercial
AC and reserve power to the Strata CTX system. Table 5-3 describes which assemblies may be
required to meet UL and local electrical code standards.

Option Description
BRPSB120A
Cabinet power strip for 120VAC primary power – provides three standard 120VAC/15A
outlets (NEMA5-15R) and nine ft. AC power cord with standard 120VAC/15A plug (NEMA5-
15P). This unit is field installed outside the system cabinet on the back cover. The system
can use 12 amps. (max.).
One BRPSB120A is required for two cabinet systems if the local electric code allows only
one AC power cord to be connected to the system.
Note If the local electric code allows only one AC power cord to be connected to the
system, 208VAC or 240VAC must be used as primary AC power for systems with four
or more cabinets.
One BRPSB120A is required for a three or four cabinet system if the local electric code
allows two AC power cords connected to the system.
Two BRPSB120As are required for a five cabinet system if the local electric code allows two
AC power cords connected to the system.
BRPSB240A
Cabinet power strip for 208VAC or 240VAC primary power - provides three 240VAC/20A
outlets (NEMA 6-20R) and 9ft. AC power cord with a standard 240VAC/20A plug (NEMA 6-
20P). This unit is field installed outside the system cabinet on the back cover. The system
can use 16 amps. (max.).
One BRPSB240A is required for two or three cabinet systems.
Two BRPSB240As are required for four or five cabinet systems.
Three BRPSB240As are required for six or seven cabinet systems.
Note
● Local electric codes allow only one AC power cord to be connected to the system when
using 208VAC or 240VAC as the primary AC power.
● BRPSB240A conforms to the National Electric Code standards. If using 208VAC as
primary power, the plug on the BRPSB240A AC power cord that exits the cabinet (NEMA
6-20P) may have to be changed to a twist-lock type by a certified electrician to conform
with local electric codes.
BACL240A
AC208V or AC240VAC nine ft. power supply cord. The cord is rated at 10 amps. (max.) and
must be used when the system is powered by 208VAC or 240VAC. One cord is required for
each cabinet power supply and must be ordered separately only if using 208VAC or 240VAC
as the system primary AC power.
Note The cord is equipped with a 250VAC/20A plug (NEMA 6-20P) which is standard for
240VAC. If using 208VAC as the system primary power this cord may have to be
changed by a certified electrician for one or two cabinet installations. If using three or
more cabinets, a BRPSB240A power strip is required and the power strip plug may
have to be changed by a certified electrician depending on local electric codes.
