Wow that's amazing. I think that's outside the normal auto-detect range too!

Hi All,

We just bought a new 6509-E with 4000w P/S. The specs say it requires a 23 A/240V Input is this the max input current permissible? We have an existing
6KVA UPS with output of 16A max. I've used the Cisco Power Calculator and
with all the current cards install it will use a max of 1800w way below the
4000w mark. Can I go ahead and use this 16A UPS to power on the our Cisco
6509-E or do I need a 23A/240V Input?

The 4k PS requires a high range input, 170-264V I believe. If you feed it high-range voltage, it'll pull the current necessary to run your system. If 16A is sufficient at the voltage you're feeding it, rock on. If 16A is insufficient, you'll have issues.

That said, I just witnessed an install two weeks ago where the building electrical was corroded (or worse), and the brand new UPS was only seeing 89V across a 240V feed. The old UPS was so dead it was in hardware bypass, yet the 4kw PSes had been running like champs.
