system to the installation site. If the height or weight of the system can cause a problem when the system
is moved to the installation site, the customer should contact their local site planning, marketing, or sales
representative.
Power and Electrical Requirements
Dual power and line cords are standard on the Eserver pSeries 655. For maximum availability, each of
the line cords should be fed from independent power grids. Some configurations require drawing current
from two power feeds in a non-redundant manner.
The following table illustrates electrical and thermal characteristics for the Eserver pSeries 655.
Electrical/Thermal Characteristic
Rated Voltage (V ac, 3 phase) 200 to 240 380 to 415 480
Rated Current, Line Cord with 60-A Plug,
FC 8688 or 8689 (amps, per phase)
48 — —
Rated Current, All Other Line Cords
(amps, per phase)
60 32 24
Frequency (Hz) 50 to 60 50 to 60 50 to 60
Power (Maximum in kW) 31.8 31.8 31.8
Typical, Full Load Power Factor (pf) 0.99 0.97 0.95
Inrush Current (Maximum A) 162 162 162
Thermal Output (Maximum kBtu/hr) 102 102 102
Note: Inrush currents occur only at initial application of power (very short duration for charging capacitors). No
inrush currents occur during the normal power off-on cycle.
The following table illustrates the line cord options for the Eserver pSeries 655 with their geographic,
breaker rating, and cord information.

Note: The exact circuit breaker ratings may not be available in all countries. Where the specified circuit breaker
ratings are not acceptable, use the nearest available rating. Use of a time delayed circuit breaker is recommended.
Use of a GFI circuit breaker is not recommended.
