DC-powered SL-1 systems
DC-powered SL-1 systems, which use direct current UEM power
converters, operate at a nominal -48V dc. URMs in a column are fed DC
power from the pedestal Power Distribution Unit (PDU). The pedestal is
powered from an external DC power plant
The NT7D12AA rectifier rack contains up to three NT6D52AA recitifers
which operate from a nominal 120/240 V ac at 30 Amps. This
configuration is typically used for Options
21,51,
and 61. The QCA13
power plant contains up to four NTSC03BJ rectifiers which operate from a
nominal 208V/230 V ac at 23/21 Amps. This configuration is typically
used for Option 71.
A typical column operating at
48
V dc using four
UEMs
will draw up to 60
Amps depending on the configuration.
Commercial power requirements for the DC power plant depend ou the
system size and power plant configuration. All SL-1 systems can be
powered by customer-supplied or Northern Telecom-supplied -48 V dc.
