Blank Worksheet for Selecting 1746 Power Supplies
If you have a multiple chassis system, make copies of the Worksheet for Selecting a Power Supply.
For a detailed list of device load currents, see page 54. Remember to consider future system expansion when selecting a power supply.
Procedure
1. For each slot of the chassis that contains a module, list the slot number, the catalog number of the module, and its 5V and 24V
maximum currents. Also include the power consumption of any peripheral devices that may be connected to the processor other than a
DTAM, HHT, or PIC—the power consumption of these devices is accounted for in the power consumption of the processor.

3. For 1746-P4 power supplies, calculate the total power consumption of all system devices. If you are not using a 1746-P4, go to step 4.
Current Multiply by = Watts Current Multiply by = Watts
Total Current 5V Total Current 5V

4. Choose the power supply from the list of catalog numbers shown below. Compare the Total Current required for the chassis with the
Internal Current capacity of the power supplies. Be sure that the Total Current consumption for the chassis is less than the Internal
Current Capacity for the power supply, for both 5V and 24V loads.
