Example of Total Load Current
The following example demonstrates the process for determining the total load-current of the Elite-RS Panel:
1
Identify the current-draw of each device on the circuit-connection.
2
Add the device-currents together in each circuit-connection.
3
Compare the sum of the device-currents with the current-limit of each circuit-connection to verify that the
summed level is below the current-limit value.
4
Add the device-load-currents together that were obtained for each of the circuit-connections:
5
Add the Total Device Load to the no-load-alarm current of the Elite-RS to obtain the Total-Load-Current.
Total Device Load + Elite-RS No-Load = Total-Load-Current
1.875 + 200 mA = 2.075 A
6
Verify that the current level is below 4 Amps:

Total Load Current: 2.075 A
2.075 A < 4 A
This example demonstrates that device-loading
does not exceed
the 4 Amp capacity of the
Elite-RS power supply.
