— W
orksheet for Selecting a 1746 Power Supply
If you have a multiple chassis system, make copies of the Power Supply Worksheet
found on page E-1. For a detailed list
of device load currents, refer to the
SLC 500 Modular Chassis and Power Supplies,
Publication Number 1746-2.
Procedure
Required Power Supply for this Chassis: 1746- P1
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.

2. Add the power supply loading currents of
all the system devices ( at 5V and 24V).

3. Compare the Total Current required for the chassis with the Internal Current Capacity of the power supplies.
To select the proper power supply for your chassis, make sure that the power supply loading current for the chassis is less than the
internal current capacity for the power supply, for both 5V and 24V loads.

Total
Current:
When using the 1746-P4 power supply, use the formula below to calculate total
power consumption of all the system devices (at 5V and 24V). Note that the 1746-P4
Chassis total power supply loading currents cannot exceed 70 W
atts. If you are not
using a 1746-P4 power supply, proceed to step 3.
