Section 5: Power Supply Calculations
5.1 Overview
This section contains instructions and tables for calculating power supply currents in alarm and
standby conditions. This is a four-step process, consisting of the following:
standby conditions. This is a four-step process, consisting of the following:
1. Calculating the total amount of AC branch circuit current required to operate the system
2. Calculating the power supply load current for non-fire and fire alarm conditions and
2. Calculating the power supply load current for non-fire and fire alarm conditions and
calculating the secondary (battery) load
3. Calculating the size of batteries required to support the system if an AC power loss occurs
4. Selecting the proper batteries for your system
4. Selecting the proper batteries for your system
5.2 Calculating the AC Branch Circuit
The control panel requires connection to a separate, dedicated AC branch circuit, which must be
labeled FIRE ALARM. This branch circuit must connect to the line side of the main power feed
of the protected premises. No other non-fire alarm equipment may be powered from the fire alarm
branch circuit. The branch circuit wire must run continuously, without any disconnect devices,
from the power source to the control panel. Overcurrent protection for this circuit must comply
with Article 760 of the National Electrical Codes as well as local codes. Use 14 AWG (2.00 mm

5.3 Calculating the System Current Draw
5.3.1 Overview
The control panel must be able to power all internal and external devices continuously during the
non-fire alarm condition. To calculate the non-fire alarm load on the system power supply when
primary power is applied, use Calculation Column 1 in Table 5.3 on page 176. The control panel
must support a larger load current during a fire alarm condition. To calculate the fire alarm load on
the power supply, use Calculation Column 2 in Table 5.3 on page 176. The secondary power
source (batteries) must be able to power the system during a primary power loss. To calculate the
non-fire alarm load on the secondary power source, use Calculation Column 3 in Table 5.3 on page 176.
