System Supply Power     

Open the System Supply Power form as shown below. The System Supply Power shows the total power drawn from the supply.

Notes:

• RMS power can be used as a Guideline for Sizing Cables, Filters and Fuses
   
• Total cont power = Supply cont power + Regen cont power
  • Total cont power is the absolute of the average power flow in both directions. Ie. Total cont power = ABS(Output cont power) + ABS(Regen cont power).
  • The point here is that the Infeed module has losses. So the more power flowing through it in either direction, the more losses the Infeed stage consumes.
     
• Net cont power = Supply cont power - Regen cont power
  • Net cont power is the net average power flow. Ie. Power consumed by the system.
     
• Bleeder continuous power is the sum of all bleeder power from all bleeders in the system.
  • In the sample above, the value is zero because it is a regenerative based system.

For the 'Details' tab, see Energy Cost and Power Flow, which provides a breakdown of the energy costs and power flow for each component.

For the 'Project Cost Comparison' tab, see Project Cost Comparison, in which up to 3 additional projects can be compared for the bill of materials and energy costs.
