Calculating the Minimum Voltage
The voltage at the testhead must be at least 90 percent of
nominal. To calculate the minimum rms voltage
multiply the rms voltage by 0.9. To calculate the
minimum peak voltage, multiply the rms voltage by 0.9
and then 1.414. For example:
208 volts rms * 0.9 = 187 volts rms
208 volts rms * 0.9 * 1.414 = 265 volts peak

Sizing the Input Wires and Circuit Breakers
on page 6-7 shows the full-load amps (FLA)
for each system type. FLA was calculated as follows:
■
For the 3X7X: a fully-loaded system with 3 STC
cards in every module.
■
For the 79000: a fully-loaded system with 6 STC
cards in the module.
