1. Wire ampacities are based
on 30° C ambient temperature
with conductor rated at 60° C.
2. Resistance is nominal at 20°
C wire temperature.
Figure 2-1 illustrates two typical power bus configurations consisting of two Agilent E4370A MCCD
mainframes connected to one Agilent E4371A Powerbus Load and two external dc power supplies. As
shown in the figure, current requirements may vary widely based on the way the equipment is connected
to the power bus.
