Once line detection and optional classification stages are completed, the PSE must switch from low voltage to its full
voltage capacity (44-57 Volts) over a minimal amount of time (above 15 microseconds).
A gradual startup is required, as a sudden rise in voltage (reaching hig

Once provision of power is initiated, it is common for inrush current to be experienced at the PSE port, due to the PD’s input
capacitance. A PD must be designed to cease inrush current consumption (of over 350 mA) within 50 ms of power provi-
sion startup.

The standard defines two means of disconnection, DC Disconnect and AC Disconnect, both of which provide the same
functionality - the PSE shutdowns power to a disconnected port within 300 to 400ms. The upper boundary is a physical

AC Disconnect
This method is based on the fact that when a valid PD is connected to a port, the AC impedance measured on its termi

AC Disconnect detection involves the induction of low AC signal in addition to the 48 VDC operating voltage. The returne
AC signal amplitude is monitored by the PSE at the port terminals. During normal operation, the PD's relatively low im-
pedance lowers the returned AC signal while a sudden disconnection of this PD will cause a surge to the full AC signal level
and will indicate PD disconnection.
