Sk-l system power options -
The SL-1 system is available in both AC and DC versions where DC power
is connected to the commercial power panel by means of extended power
rectifiers or power plants, and the AC power is connected directly to the
commercial power panel. If an Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS) is
used in conjunction with the AC SL-1 system, the UPS connects to the
commercial AC source and the SL-1 system columns are connected to the
UPS. The SL-1 is available with the following power options:
-
DC-powered systems
-
DC power with reserve power (backup)
-
AC-powered systems
-
AC power with reserve power (backup)
For AC-powered SL-1 systems each column of equipment should have an
AC receptacle provided within 10 feet of the column’s pedestal. If the
system is equipped with a UPS, the AC source should feed to the location of
the UPS (see the UPS vendor’s specifications). The UPS will then feed the
equipment columns.
For DC-powered SL-1 systems the commercial source feeds to a centralized
rectifier rack or to a centralized power plant. The rectifier rack/power plant
._
provides -48 V dc to the system.
In either case the power connections to the SL- 1 system can be provided
through the floor or by means of overhead racks.
