| Scope | HPE GB200 NVL72 only. A peak for busway, breaker and protection sizing, not a continuous facility duty or demand at the POI. HPE writes it as about 1.5× TDP or approximately 192 kW (1.5 × 132 kW would be 198 kW); size to HPE's 192 kW and get the peak duration from HPE. Eight racks need about 1.54 MW of busway capacity. |

| Derivation | HPE prints the EDPp as about 1.5× the 132 kW TDP, approximately 192 kW (192 / 132 = 1.45). Per eight-rack scalable unit: 8 × 192 kW = 1,536 kW ≈ 1.54 MW; across the 384-rack campus 73.7 MW of busway rating. |
