Dissipation –
1260-145A
The cooling of the Adapt-a-Switch carrier is dependent upon the
chassis into which it is installed. The carrier can nominally
dissipate approximately 100W. Even with all channels driven to
maximum outputs, up to six 1260-145A plug-ins may be used
together in a 1260-100 without exceeding the maximum allowable
power dissipation of the carrier.
If the 1260-145A will be used in conjunction with other cards, the
dissipation should be computed and summed with the total worst-
case dissipation of the remaining modules.
For example, a 1260-145A module would dissipate the following
energy:
Quiescent power dissipation = 0.5W maximum
Channel dissipation =
[(# channels energized) * (relay coil dissipation)]
Total Power Dissipation = Qui Channel
Assuming all relays on the card are enabled (worse-case situation)
the channel path resistances will be in parallel and therefore
insignificant as a source of heat. The largest contributor of thermal
energy will therefore derive from the relay coils.
Total power dissipation = [(144) * (0.100)] + [0.5] = 15W
