Zone 0 requirement.
4. Calculate thermal output (BTUs). To calculate this, multiply the input power
requirement (in watts) by 3.41.

AC Power Circuit Breaker Requirements for the MX480 Router
Each AC power supply has a single AC appliance inlet located on the power supply that
requires a dedicated AC power feed. We recommend that you use a customer site circuit
breaker rated for 15 A (250 VAC) minimum for each AC power supply, or as required by
local code. Doing so enables you to operate the router in any configuration without
upgrading the power infrastructure.

AC Power Cord Specifications for the MX480 Router
Each AC power supply has a single AC appliance inlet located on the power supply that
requires a dedicated AC power feed. Most sites distribute power through a main conduit
that leads to frame-mounted power distribution panels, one of which can be located at
the top of the rack that houses the router. An AC power cord connects each power supply
to the power distribution panel.
