Hello Cisco Support Forums,
Recently I setup a power calculation for a 6513, but the results are very different from what we see when we run 'show power'.
------------------ show power ------------------
system power redundancy mode = redundant
system power total = 2771.16 Watts (65.98 Amps @ 42V)
system power used = 1588.86 Watts (37.83 Amps @ 42V)
system power available = 1182.30 Watts (28.15 Amps @ 42V)

Is this a mistake in the power calculator tool? It looks like output current is the same (37.83 Amps) but it seems like the power calculator is low-balling the capabilities of the WS-CAC-3000W - the system power budget says it has 65.98 Amps (in redundant mode) but the power calculator is showing that it is only capable of 46.48 Amps, and that is in combined mode!
