Page 94 of 456 Installing DC power

Note: The procedures in this chapter apply to the global power distribution unit (PDU). Throughout this document, the global PDU is referred to as the NT4N49AA PDU.

To install reserve power equipment (batteries), follow the instructions provided with the equipment. To comply with safety requirements, consult the following before working with any battery systems.

Read the “Material Safety Data Sheet” that must be posted to meet Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requirements. This article outlines appropriate reserve battery handling procedures.

Refer to National Electric Code 645-10. This article outlines requirements that call for the installation of AC- and DC-power kill switches to battery systems in certain environments.

As a safety precaution, all DC service panels should be located in an area that is easily accessible at all times to allow for emergency shutdown. An optimal location would be near, or just outside, the entry to the room containing the DC power system for the Large System. Each circuit breaker within a panel should be clearly marked to identify the system component or components it services.

Candeo DC power systems

The Candeo platform provides a simple, quick to deploy, and easy to operate power solution. Based upon modular building blocks (rectifiers, System Manager, DC distribution, and battery connection modules), the system is designed to power –48 V DC applications. The Candeo platform can be expanded by adding rectifiers, battery connection modules, frames, and distribution modules.

There are two types of Candeo systems:

Large Candeo (MP481200), which uses 50 A rectifiers and has a capacity of 1000 A.

Small Candeo (SP48300), which uses 30 A rectifiers and has a capacity of 300 A.
