Need Help: Power supply Hook Up

[radcliffe]

I have a MPJA 24VDC 12.5A switching power supply.
1. Question is on the power supply input terminals label as L-N-grd symbol. Do I connect the green wire of my three prong power cord to this termial with the grd symbol. I thought this was the third leg for the 230 circuit.

2. Should I have a bleed resistor after the caps of my bow power supply.

I have attached a pdf drawing of what I think is right. If any correction of drawing are needed please let me know.

Thanks

Yes, The ground wire of your supply cord should connect to the terminal with the GND symbol.
You can use a bleed resistor, if the voltage is of significant level. Otherwise it is optional.

Thanks Al.
I was thinking of just turning power of on the transformer and let the bow drain the caps.
Now I can complete all the hook ups and case.
