COMMERCIAL STANDBY CURRENT CALCULATION
WORKSHEETS
Most installations can be configured without using additional power supplies, however larger systems may require
them. In large systems, the current charts must be used to determine if the design is possible and how many addi-
tional power supplies are required.
As the GEMC-FW-SLC, GEMC-BSLC and the GEMC-F8ZCPIM can only derive their power from the motherboard,
additional power supplies cannot be used to increase the capability of these circuits. Therefore, the NAPCO Com-
mercial Standby Current Calculation Worksheet(s) must first be completed to determine if the system design is
possible.
These Worksheets have been placed into a single Microsoft
®
Excel file, available online at the NAPCO website:
