DC-Powered Systems
Basic guidelines for DC-powered systems include the following:
• Each chassis power supply should have its own dedicated input power source. The source must
comply with the safety extra-low voltage (SELV) requirements in the UL 60950, CSA 60950, EN
60950, and IEC 60950 standards.
• The DC supplies each have the provision for a dual connection to the power source in order to permit
high-power operation without exceeding current ratings. For the Cisco SCE 8000, it is not necessary
to connect both of these inputs to DC power sources; it is sufficient to connect only the '1'
connections.
• Each circuit must be protected by a dedicated two-pole circuit breaker. The circuit breaker should
be sized according to the power supply input rating and local or national code requirements.
• The circuit breaker is considered the disconnect device and should be easily accessible.
• The system ground is the power supply and chassis ground.
Caution Do not connect the DC-return wire to the system frame or to the system grounding equipment.
