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

DC Power Circuit Breaker Requirements for the MX480 Router
Each DC power supply has a single DC input (–48 VDC and return) that requires a
dedicated circuit breaker. If you plan to operate a maximally configured DC-powered
router with normal-capacity power supplies, we recommend that you use a dedicated
customer site circuit breaker rated for 40 A (–48 VDC) minimum, or as required by local
code. If you plan to operate a maximally configuredDC-powered router with high-capacity
power supplies, we recommend that you use a circuit breaker rated for 70 A (–48 VDC),
or as required by local code.
If you plan to operate a DC-powered router at less than the maximum configuration, we
recommend that you provision a circuit breaker according to respective National Electrical
Code and customer site internal standards to maintain proper level of protection for the
current specified above or each DC power supply rated for at least 125% of the continuous
current that the system draws at –48 VDC.
