    System power dissipation The total power dissipated by the S530 depends on the type and number of instruments in the test system. For instance, the power distribution unit (PDU) limits the incoming power to these instruments. While the PDU ensures electrical safety and compliance to the required standards, it does not prevent the system from overheating.
