Notes on the equiconsistency of ZFC without the Power Set axiom and 2nd order PA
We demonstrate that theories $\text{Z}^-$, $\text{ZF}^-$, $\text{ZFC}^-$ (minus means the absence of the Power Set axiom) and $\text{PA}_2$, $\text{PA}_2^-$ (minus means the absence of the Countable Choice schema) are equiconsistent to each other. The methods used include the interpretation of a power-less set theory in $\text{PA}_2^-$ via well-founded extensional digraphs, as well as the Gödel constructibility in the said power-less set theory.
