Enhanced Dual Voltage Isolated Power Panel – Model IPD

The Enhanced IPD Dual Voltage Isolated Power Panel is a single panel allowing a primary feed to drive two separate output voltages from a single transformer and includes an industry leading 6” back box depth and a concealed hinged front. This configuration provides up to sixteen 120V, 20A circuits for standard line powered equipment and up to two 208 or 240V, 30 or 50A dedicated circuits for laser equipment loads. The IPD Panel is a cost-effective alternative for providing high voltage output without an additional dedicated primary feed.

Panel Sizing

Select from available combinations for high and low voltages (ex. 10kVA at 208V high-side and 7.5kVA at 120V low-side).

• The kVA of the panel transformer is determined by adding together the kVA of the low volt section (120V) and the high volt section (208 - 240V). (Example: If 15 kVA will be required for high volt section (208 - 240V) and 10 kVA for the low volt section (120V), the overall size is 25 kVA.)

Installation

• Special low leakage wire should always be used for the powered conductors of branch circuit wiring. XPLE type insulation such as XHHW-2 wire is recommended with a dielectric constant of less than 3.5. Standard type insulation such as THHN is appropriate for the incoming primary and the ground wires only.
•  The NEC (Article 517.160) requires secondary circuits to be colored brown and orange, with a distinctive stripe in a contrasting color.  The brown wire is connected to the L2 bus and the hot side (brass screw) of a standard NEMA receptacle. The orange wire, L1 is connected to the silver screw where neutral would be connected. Polarity should be maintained throughout the installation.
• Conduit runs for branch circuits should be as short and direct as possible to minimize accumulated leakage current in the circuit conductors.  Generally, 400‐450 feet is the maximum recommended cumulative length of for all branch conductors from a single transformer. Avoid unnecessary bends and junctions.
• Do not use pulling compounds to lubricate inside of conduit. This will break down the insulation properties and raise leakage current. A dry talc powder may be used. It is typical to use conduit with a slightly larger diameter to ease pulling and avoid damage to wire insulation. An interior coating of PVC may also be used.
• Isolated power circuits must be kept separate from other circuits. Do not share conduit or raceway with non‐isolated circuits, or isolated circuits from another system.
• Each receptacle and equipment grounding connector must be connected back to Reference Ground Bus inside Isolation Panel to maintain Equipotential grounding system. If multiple panels serve the same space, they must be bonded together.
• See additional panel installation instructions and diagram here.
