Watt and BTU with two power supply

Dears,

 

How are you? i'm have a questions the regarding consumption of BTU and Watt of a device i4600 with two power supply. In the datasheet show 445 BTU for one power supply, with two power supply this value keep it or its the doble?. With the consumtion of watt, for one power supply is 130, value keep it with two PS?

 

If the values ​​are maintained for BTU and Watt, is it because one power supply is kept standby?

 

Thanks.

    The short answer is that power consumption will stay about the same. Realistically, instead of one active, one standby, they will split evenly, although due to inefficiency they may technically consume a little more power.
