Juniper SRX5400 - DC Power Circuit Breaker Requirements for the SRX5400 Services Gateway; DC Power Source Cabling for the SRX5400 Services Gateway

DC Power Circuit Breaker Requirements for the SRX5400 Services Gateway
Each DC power supply has a single DC input (–48 VDC and return) that requires a dedicated facility circuit
breaker. We recommend that you use a customer site circuit breaker rated for 40 A (–48 VDC) minimum
for each DC power supply, or as required by local code. Doing so enables you to operate the services
gateway in any configuration without upgrading the power infrastructure.
If you plan to operate a DC-powered services gateway at less than the maximum configuration and do
not provision a 40 A (–48 VDC) circuit breaker, we recommend that you provision a circuit breaker for
each DC power supply rated for at least 125% of the continuous current that the system draws at –48 VDC,
or as required by local code.

The DC power supplies must be powered by dedicated power feeds.
CAUTION: You must ensure that power connections maintain the proper polarity.
The power source cables might be labeled (+) and (–) to indicate their polarity. There
is no standard color coding for DC power cables. The color coding used by the external
DC power source at your site determines the color coding for the leads on the power
cables that attach to the terminal studs on each power supply.
