The current demand is just under 10 A. The output current path must therefore be refreshed before the
11th module.
10 A is supplied by the EP-7641 module. The 1.81 A calculated as remaining after the 10th module must not
be added to the 10 A after the EP-7641 module!

Calculation of Power Loss
The power loss of the network adapter is calculated as follows:
Pnetwork adapter = P0 + N * Pmod + Iin *

The power loss of a RSTi-EP station is calculated using the power loss of the network adapter
and the power loss of the individual modules. It depends on the current in both current
paths. It is assumed that there is a maximum power loss of 2 watts for the module
Maximum values were assumed for these calculations. If you need detailed calculations,
