General Arrangement/Cabinet Size.

The cabinet size of GS150A-480-1016 DC Power System is: Mechanical dimension: 480(W) x 350(D) x 350(H) mm for 19 rack mount system. Please refer Annexure D for details of Schematics, General arrangement drawings. 3.8 3.8.1

System Cabling/Wiring
AC Input Wiring

The single phase AC main supply is connected through Class-C input surge arrestor (should be installed by customer out side DCPP & at AMF panel) to AC mains input terminal (Phase, N & E). AC power is fed internally to rectifier modules through pre-wired AC mains input terminal, rectifier input MCBs, UV/OV contactor and Class C protection provided in the system. 3.8.2 DC output wiring

3.8.2.1 Grounding System polarity is determined by the system grounding. For a positive ground system (i.e. -48V system) the positive output of the system must be grounded to the C.O. (Common Output) ground. 3.8.2.2 Wire Sizing There are two main considerations for sizing DC wire, Ampacity and voltage drop. Ampacity refers to a safe current carrying level as specified by non-profit organizations such as Underwriters Laboratories and the National Fire Prevention Association, which publishes the National Electric Code. Voltage drop is simply the amount of voltage loss in a length of wire due to ohmic resistance of the conductor. DC wire may be sized for either ampacity or voltage drop depending on branch load loop length and conductor heating. In general, ampacity considerations will drive wire selection for short loop lengths (less than 50 feet) and voltage drop will drive wire selection for long loop lengths (greater than 50 feet). ALWAYS FOLLOW THE ELECTRICITY REGULATIONS VALID FOR THE INSTALLAION AREA AND YOUR LOCAL COMPANY PRACTICES WHEN MAKING FINAL SELECTIONS FOR AC & DC WIRING AND PROTECTION. ACCORDING TO THE NEC RULES WHICH ARE APPLICABLE FOR NORTH AMERICA, THESE RULES MAY BE USED AS GUIDENCE FOR INSTALLATION IN OTHER AREAS.
