Specification

Cisco PWR-C45-4200ACV Specification

Model

PWR-C45-4200ACV

Brand

Cisco

AC-input type

Autoranging input with power factor corrector. Power factor correction (PFC) is a standard feature on all Catalyst 4500 E-series AC-input power supplies. PFC reduces the reactive component in the source AC current, allowing higher power factors (typically 99% or better) and lower harmonic current components.

AC-input voltage

Low-line (120 VAC nominal): 85 VAC (min) to 132 VAC (max). High-line (230 VAC nominal): 170 VAC (min) to 264 VAC (max).

AC-input current

12 A (maximum) at 120 VAC or 230 VAC for each input

AC-input frequency

50/60 Hz (nominal), ±3% for full range

Branch circuit requirement

Each chassis power supply should have its own dedicated, fused-branch circuit. For North America: 15 A or 20 A. For International: circuits sized to local and national codes. All Catalyst 4500 E-series AC-input power supplies require single-phase source AC. All AC power supply inputs are fully isolated. Source AC can be out of phase between multiple power supplies in the same chassis (for example, PS1 on phase A and PS2 on phase B). For high-line operation, the power supply operates with the hot conductor wired to a source AC phase and the neutral conductor wired either to ground or to another source AC phase as long as the net input voltage is 170 to 264 VAC. Source AC can be out of phase between AC inputs on power supplies with multiple AC inputs (for example, power cord 1 on phase A and power cord 2 on phase B).

Power supply output capacity

Output capacity depends on the number of AC power cords (1 or 2), the source AC voltage (110 VAC low-line or 220 VAC high-line) applied to the power supply inputs, and the number of power supply switches that are on or off. Note: If source AC is applied to both inputs, both inputs should have the same AC voltage.

1050 W operation conditions

1050 W maximum with the following combination: one AC input connected to low-line (110 VAC nominal); the second AC input is not connected to source AC or is switched off.

2100 W operation conditions

2100 W maximum with the following combinations: both AC inputs connected to low-line (110 VAC nominal) and both inputs switched on; or one AC input connected to high-line (220 VAC nominal) and the second AC input not connected or switched off.

4200 W operation conditions

4200 W maximum when both AC inputs are connected to high-line (220 VAC nominal) and both inputs are switched on.

Power supply output (1050 W operation)

With one 110 VAC nominal input: 55.9 A at 12 V (data only); 12.5 A at 3.3 V (data only); 14.6 A at −50 V (PoE if used).

Power supply output (2100 W, two 110 VAC inputs)

With two 110 VAC nominal inputs: 115.3 A at 12 V (data only); 12.5 A at 3.3 V (data only); 38.0 A at −50 V (PoE if used).

Power supply output (2100 W, one 220 VAC input)

With one 220 VAC nominal input: 115.3 A at 12 V (data only); 12.5 A at 3.3 V (data only); 38.5 A at −50 V (PoE if used).

Power supply output (4200 W, two 220 VAC inputs)

With two 220 VAC nominal inputs: 115.3 A at 12 V (data only); 12.5 A at 3.3 V (data only); 77.1 A at −50 V (PoE if used).
