Calculating the System Current Draw
Power Supply Calculations
Table 7.3 contains three columns for calculating current draws. For maximum output current availability per circuit and per panel, refer
to Section 1.2, “Specifications”, on page 13. For each column, calculate the current and enter the total (in amperes) in the bottom row.
When finished, copy the totals from Calculation Column 2 and Calculation Column 3 to Table 7.4 on page 102.
