AC feeder cable and service panel requirements
AC power requirements
The 9927 Distributed Base Station cabinet requires a single-phase branch circuit from an
external service panel. The service panel must be installed during site preparation.
AC feeder cable and service panel requirements for a fully configured system (North American
installation)
For a fully configured system, the AC panel must be rated at 100 A. If additional AC
equipment is installed at the site, the total power consumption for all site equipment must
not exceed the service rating.
The AC power feeders are class B stranded, insulated cable with THHN type insulation
(T90 NYLON type insulation in Canada). The installation should not be performed in
extremely cold temperatures (-15 °C / -5 °F or less).
The following table provides AC input requirements for a fully configured system with
100-A service panel (North American installation). The following table provides the
recommended wire sizes.
