CURRENT DATA NOTES & COMMENTS
1. Current values are shown in mA.
2. UL Nameplate Rating can vary from Typical Current due to measurement methods and instruments used.
3. Edwards recommends using the Typical current for system design including NAC and Power Supply loading and voltage drop calculations.
4. Use the Vdc RMS current ratings for filtered power supply and battery AH calculations. Use the Vfwr RMS current ratings for unfiltered
power supply calculations.
5. Fuses,circuit breakers and other overcurrent protection devices are typically rated for current in RMS values. Most of these devices operate
based upon the heating affect of the current flowing through the device. The RMS current (not the mean current) determines the heating
affect and therefore, the trip and hold threshold for those devices.
6. Our industry has used ‘mean’ currents overthe years. However, UL will direct the industry to use the 2004 RMS values in the future.
