(–54 VDC input) * (input current X) = (–48 VDC input) * (input current Y)
54 * X = 48 * 13 A
X = 48 * 13 A/54 = 11.5 A
Example of calculating system thermal output:
Watts DC * 3.41 = BTU/hr
500 * 3.41 = 1,705 BTU/hr
Each DC power supply has a single DC input (–48 VDC and return) that requires a
dedicated circuit breaker. We recommend that you use a dedicated customer site circuit
breaker rated for 13 A (–48 VDC) minimum, or as required by local code. Doing so enables
you to operate the router in any configuration without upgrading the power infrastructure.
If you plan to operate a DC-powered router at less than the maximum configuration and
do not provision a 13 A (–48 VDC) circuit breaker, we recommend that you provision a
dedicated customer site circuit breaker for each DC power supply rated for at least 125
percent of the continuous current that the system draws at –48 VDC.

CAUTION:
You must ensure that power connections maintain the proper
polarity. The power source cables might be labeled
their polarity. There is no standard color coding for DC power cables. The
color coding used by the external DC power source at your site determines
the color coding for the leads on the power cables that attach to the terminal
studs on each power supply.
WARNING:
For field-wiring connections, use copper conductors only.
CAUTION:
Power cords and cables must not block access to device
components or drape where people could trip on them.
