Calculation
of
Heat Generated
by
the
A2C
System
The operating temperature inside the panel to where the A2C
system is installed must be kept below 55'C.
It
is necessary to
include heat dissipation in the design
of
the installing panel
employing heat calculation
of
the system modules to be installed.
In
this section, the calculation procedure
of
average power
consumption
of
the A2C system is explained. Perform heat
calculation using the result
of
power consumption calculation.

Approximately
70%
of
the power supply module current is
converted into power with the remaining
30%
dissipated as
heat,
i.e.,
3/7
of
the output power is used.
