Power Consumption for an AC-Powered SRX5600 Services Gateway

Note: If you plan to operate a maximally configured AC-powered services gateway, we recommend that you provision 33 A @ 100 VAC or 14 A @ 240 VAC for the system, or 11.0 A @ 200 VAC or 14.5 A @ 110 VAC for each power supply.

We recommend that you provision 11.0 A @ 200 VAC (2200 W) or 14.5 A @ 110 VAC (1595 W) for each input.

If you do not plan to provision 11.0 A @ 200 VAC (2200 W) or 14.5 A @ 110 VAC (1595 W) for each input, you can use the information in Table 1 and Table 2 to calculate power consumption for various hardware configurations, and thermal output.

Table 1 lists the power requirements for base AC-powered devices operating under typical voltage conditions. It includes the efficiency for the AC power supplies.

Table 1: Base System AC Power Requirements

Component

Power Requirement (Watts)

Low-line nonredundant configuration @ 110 V includes three AC power supplies, midplane, craft interface, and the fan tray (running at normal speed)

455 W (approximate)

Low-line redundant configuration @ 110 V includes four AC power supplies, midplane, craft interface, and the fan tray (running at normal speed)

585 W (approximate)

High-line nonredundant configuration @ 220 V includes two AC power supplies, one Routing Engine, one SCB, midplane, craft interface, and the fan tray (running at normal speed)

410 W (approximate)

High-line redundant configuration @ 220 V includes four AC power supplies, midplane, craft interface, and the fan tray (running at normal speed)

745 W (approximate)

Table 2 lists the power requirements for various hardware components when the services gateway is operating under typical voltage conditions.

Typical power consumption for AC-powered devices:

  • Minimum AC-powered low-line configuration @ 110 V:
    Base device (low-line nonredundant) + 1 SCB + 1 Routing Engine + 1 IOC + 1 SPC—Generalized typical value=
    455 W + 150 W +90 W + 312 W + 213 W = 1220 W
  • Maximum AC-powered low-line configuration @ 110 V:
    Base device (low-line redundant) + fan tray at full speed + 2 SCBs + 1Routing Engine + 5 IOCs + 1 SPC—Generalized maximum value=
    585 W + 30 W + 2(150) W + 90 W + (5)365 W + 351 W=
    585 W + 30 W + 300 W + 90 W + 1825 W + 351 W = 3181 W
  • Typical system thermal output (based on maximally configured AC-powered services gateway @ 110 V input):
    Watts * 3.41 = BTU/hr
    3181 W * 3.41 = 10,847 BTU/hr
  • Minimum AC-powered high-line configuration @ 220 V:
    Base device (high-line nonredundant) + 1 SCB + 1 Routing Engine + 1 IOC + 1 SPC—Generalized typical value=
    410 W + 150 W + 90 W + 312 W + 213 W = 1175 W
  • Maximum AC-powered high-line configuration @ 220 V:
    Base device (high-line redundant) + fan tray at full speed + 2 SCBs + 1Routing Engine + 5 IOCs + 1 SPC—Generalized maximum value =
    745 W + 30 W + 2(150) W + 90 W + (5)365 W + 351 W =
    745 W + 30 W + 300 W + 90 W + 1825 W + 351 W = 3341 W
  • Typical system thermal output (based on maximally configured AC-powered services gateway @ 220 V input):
    Watts * 3.41 = BTU/hr
    3341 W * 3.41 = 11,393 BTU/hr
