OWER ONSUMPTION
The three most important power parameters of an H2TU-C are its maximum power consumption, maximum
power dissipation, and maximum current drain.
Table 26 describes line-powered circuits on 9 kft, 26 AWG loops without a regenerator.

The maximum power dissipation measures the power that is converted into heat and contributes to the total heat
generated in the space around the unit. It is used to determine the maximum number of fully loaded shelves per
bay that does not exceed the maximum allowable power dissipation density in watts per square foot to comply
with GR-63.
In COs, the maximum power dissipation for open-faced, natural convection-cooled mountings is limited to
134.7 watts per square foot per GR-63-CORE. Use this limit and the parameters in
maximum number of H2TU-C circuits that can occupy one CO bay.
This is a worst case situation since it assumes the entire CO is subjected to the maximum power
density. More favorable conditions would permit increasing the number of shelves per bay
without jeopardizing the CO thermal integrity.
The thermal loading limitations imposed when using the H2TU-C in a Controlled Environmental Vault (CEV) or
other enclosures are determined by applying its power parameters to the manufacturer's requirements for each
specific housing.
The -48 Vdc Power Consumption is the maximum total power that the H2TU-C consumes or draws from the shelf
power source. This parameter is needed when the H2TU-C is in a location remote to the CO it is serving. It
determines the battery capacity required to maintain an 8-hour standby battery reserve for emergency situations.
Battery capacity, therefore, limits the maximum number of line units which can be installed in a remote enclosure.

AXIMUM URRENT
The maximum current drain is the maximum current drawn from the shelf power supply when it is at its minimum
voltage (-42.5 ). This determines the shelf fusing requirements. Use the -42.5 Vdc current data in
Vdc
above to determine the shelf fusing requirements for your particular H2TU-C applications.
