Power Requirements Chapter 2 Preparing for Installation • You can connect the DC-input power supply to the power source with heavy gauge wiring connected to a terminal block. The wire gauge size is determined by local electrical codes and restrictions. • If you are using a 200/240 VAC power source in North America, the circuit must be protected by a two-pole circuit breaker. • The source AC outlet must be within 6 feet (1.8 meters) of the system and should be easily accessible. • The AC power receptacles used to plug in the chassis must be the grounding type. The grounding conductors that connect to the receptacles should connect to protective earth ground at the service equipment. Power Connection Guidelines for AC-Powered Systems This section provides the basic guidelines for connecting the Catalyst 6500 series switch AC power supplies to the site power source: • Each chassis power supply should have a separate, dedicated branch circuit. • For North America: - The 950 W power supply requires a 15 A circuit. - The 1000 W power supply requires a 15 A or 20 A circuit. - The 1300 W, 1400 W, 2500 W, 2700 W, and 3000 W power supplies require a 20 A circuit. - The 4000 W power supply requires a 30 A circuit. - The 6000 W power supply requires one or two 20 A circuits. Note With one 220 VAC, 20 A circuit, the 6000 W power supply is limited to 2900 W. • For International: - Circuits should be sized according to local and national codes. • If you are using a 200/240 VAC power source in North America, the circuit must be protected by a two-pole circuit breaker. • The source AC outlet must be within 6 feet (1.8 meters) of the system and should be easily accessible. • The AC power receptacles used to plug in the chassis must be the grounding type. The grounding conductors that connect to the receptacles should connect to protective earth ground at the service equipment. 2-20 Catalyst 6500 Series Switches Installation Guide OL-5781-04

Catalyst 6500 Series Switches Installation Guide
OL-5781-04
Chapter 2
Preparing for Installation
Power Requirements
You can connect the DC-input power supply to the power source with heavy gauge wiring connected
to a terminal block. The wire gauge size is determined by local electrical codes and restrictions.
If you are using a 200/240 VAC power source in North America, the circuit must be protected by a
two-pole circuit breaker.
The source AC outlet must be within 6 feet (1.8 meters) of the system and should be easily
accessible.
The AC power receptacles used to plug in the chassis must be the grounding type. The grounding
conductors that connect to the receptacles should connect to protective earth ground at the service
equipment.
Power Connection Guidelines for AC-Powered Systems
This section provides the basic guidelines for connecting the Catalyst 6500 series switch AC power
supplies to the site power source:
Each chassis power supply should have a separate, dedicated branch circuit.
For North America:
The 950 W power supply requires a 15 A circuit.
The 1000 W power supply requires a 15 A or 20 A circuit.
The 1300 W, 1400 W, 2500 W, 2700 W, and 3000 W power supplies require a 20 A circuit.
The 4000 W power supply requires a 30 A circuit.
The 6000 W power supply requires one or two 20 A circuits.
Note
With one 220 VAC, 20 A circuit, the 6000 W power supply is limited to 2900 W.
For International:
Circuits should be sized according to local and national codes.
If you are using a 200/240 VAC power source in North America, the circuit must be protected by a
two-pole circuit breaker.
The source AC outlet must be within 6 feet (1.8 meters) of the system and should be easily
accessible.
The AC power receptacles used to plug in the chassis must be the grounding type. The grounding
conductors that connect to the receptacles should connect to protective earth ground at the service
equipment.
