Branch Circuits and Circuit Breakers
Branch Circuits and Circuit Breakers
Modular cabinets for the Integrity NonStop NS-series system contain two PDUs. Each
of the two PDUs requires a separate branch circuit of these ratings:
Branch circuit requirements vary by the input voltage and the local codes and
applicable regulations regarding maximum circuit and total distribution loading. Select
circuit breaker ratings according to local codes and any applicable regulations for the
circuit capacity.
Enclosure AC Input
Enclosures (such as NonStop Blade Element, processor switch, IOAM, and so forth)
require:
Each PDU is factory wired to distribute the phases to its receptacles. Refer to AC
Power PDUs on page 5-3. Factory-installed enclosures are connected to the PDUs for
balanced load among the phases.
Enclosure Power Loads
The total power and current load for each modular cabinet depends on the number and
type of enclosures installed in it. Therefore, the total load is the sum of the loads for all
Region Volts Amps
Amps
(optional)
North America and Japan 208 60 30
Europe, Middle East, and Africa 230/400 63 30
Other International 200-250 63 30
Caution. If you plan 30A branch service to the system, be sure the hardware configuration
and resulatant power loads of each cabinet within the system does not exceed the capacity of
the branch circuit according to applicable electrical codes and regulations.
Specification Value
Nominal input voltage 200/208/220/230/240 V ac RMS
Voltage range
*
180-264 V ac
Nominal line frequency 50 or 60 Hz
Frequency ranges 47-53 Hz or 57-63 Hz
Number of phases 1
* Voltage range for the maintenance switch is 200-240 V ac.
Caution. If you are installing Integrity NonStop NS-series enclosures in a rack, balance the
current load among the three phases. Using only one of the available three phases, especially
for larger systems, can cause unbalanced loading and might violate applicable electrical
codes.
