Power Supply Calculations
Calculating the System Current Draw
124
GF505 & GF510 Series PN 53164:A 3/26/2007
Table 6-3 contains three columns for calculating current draws. For each column, calculate the
current and enter the total (in amperes) in the bottom row. When finished, copy the totals from Cal-
culation Column 2 and Calculation Column 3 to Table 6-4 on page 125.

Table Footnote
1. If using the Reverse Polarity Alarm output, add 0.005 amps; if using the Reverse Polarity Trouble output, add
another 0.005 amps.
2. Refer to the Device Compatibility Document for standby current.
3. Must use compatible listed Power Supervision Relay.
4. Current limitation of Terminal TB5 circuits is 3.0 amps per NAC for the GF505 & GF510
5. The total standby current must include both the resettable (TB9 Terminals 3 & 4) and nonresettable/resettable
(TB9 Terminals 1 & 2) power. Caution must be taken to ensure that current drawn from these outputs during
alarm does not exceed maximum ratings specified. Current limitations of TB9, Terminals 1 & 2 = 0.500
amps, filtered, 24 VDC +/-5%, 120 Hz ripple @ 10 mV
RMS
, nonresettable power and TB9, Terminals 3 & 4 =
0.500 amps, filtered, 24 VDC +/-5%, 120 Hz ripple @ 10mV
RMS
, resettable power.
6. Total current draw listed above cannot exceed 7.0 amps for GF505 or GF510.
