Section One: Overview
1.1 nrgSMART™
nrgSMART describes the family of distributed network monitoring and management products, from BDFBs to
high-current and low-current secondary panels. nrgSMART allows you to collect performance data on distributed
assets and tools to help you efficiently access business critical and actionable information.
Amphenol Telect recognizes the industry need to manage distributed assets more efficiently, get better power
performance out of deployed assets, as well as pursue realistic and achievable alternative energy goals. Through
nrgSMART, access to data at the equipment level provides the foundation for managing performance of a
distributed DC power distribution system.
•Individual circuit monitoring: Measure power at the circuit level. This enables powerful trend analysis
and insights into equipment performance and enables preventative maintenance processes.
−High accuracy, 100% passive monitoring, modular sensor modules with no calibration required
•Collect feed voltage, circuit current and temperature
•Network data collection: Intelligent interpretation of the collected data, based on equipment data
signature (smart alarms), drives relevant business decisions. The built-in controller uses an SNMP or
Modbus TCP/IP interface to send data to a customer’s network management system. An additional 22
rack mounted nrgSMART panels, for a total of 30 panels per controller, can be connected to this
controller for monitoring.
1.2 BDFB-XLW Overview
The Amphenol Telect nrgBDFB-XLW 1000A Battery Distribution Fuse Bay includes up to eight panels per bay
with each panel supporting a single feed with a maximum input rating of 1000A. Each panel contains 20 circuit
positions for either bullet-style breakers or TFD fuse holders and features -48V operating voltage to fit in legacy
and next-generation network applications with advanced circuit-level monitoring.
The nrgBDFB-XLW provides total front access to fuses and LED status.
All terminals for outputs, ground and alarms are on the rear of the panel. Input terminals are located on the front
interior side of the panel, accessible via the front door.
•Inputs are studs for dual-hole lugs
•Ground terminals are studs for dual-hole lugs
•Output studs are for dual-hole lugs
•Power/fuse alarm terminals are wire wrap pins.
The bullet terminals can accept either TFD fuse holders or bullet-style circuit breakers. Single pole, double pole
and triple pole breakers are also supported.
