      Powering Up to the Control Box

      XT52 supports a full voltage range operation from 100V to 240V.
      When operating with 100V–179V AC power, the maximum power consumption is 3200W.
      When operating with 180V–240V AC power, the maximum power consumption is 6000W
      (when using a 45-meter head cable).

      storm_24

      Before use, please ensure that the power supply system can support
      the maximum power consumption of the XT52. If the actual maximum output of the power system is insufficient or if the AC output is not up to specifications, the XT52’s power protection mechanism will be triggered, resulting in malfunction or inability to operate properly.
