2.0 Introduction
In a split Radio Base Station (RBS) architecture the typical RBS consists of a Base Band Unit (BBU) and Remote Radio
Heads (RRH) connected by cabling. Power to the RRH is provided through copper cables traveling from the base station to
the top of the tower or roof top. This creates a conductive path, making the active equipment at the top and the base of the
site vulnerable to damage by direct lightning strikes. Protection systems installed in front of both the BBU and the RRH must
be able to withstand direct lightning currents in order to protect the sensitive equipment. Raycap’s RRH solutions featuring
Strikesorb®SPDtechnologysignicantlyenhancethereliability&availabilityoftheRRHsitebyprovidingsuperiorelectrical
protection at the RRH and BBU. PowerPlus is Raycap’s solution for an intelligent and dynamic power transmission to the RRH
units of a DAS Telecommunication site. PowerPlus is a system installed at the PSU output that increases the voltage at the
base of a cellular site to compensate the voltage drop on the DC power cables that provide power to the RRHs.

5. General Description
5.1 Functionality
• The PowerPlus 100-3-1U system is a dynamic smart system that can boost the voltage of a telecom
power supply in order to reduce the current on the power cables according to the power demands of
the radio.
• Thusthecablepowerlosesarereducedandthetotalsystembecomesmoreefcient.
• Additionally the PowerPlus 100-3-1U is very effective when backup batteries are supplying power
during a power outage. The PowerPlus 100-3-1U will increase the input voltage to the radio while the
battery voltage decreases due to discharging. Then the radio can operate for a longer period on the
battery supply.
5.2 Modes of Operation
• The PowerPlus 100-3-1U system is composed of a mounting rack and up to three pluggable modules.
• The PowerPlus 100-3-1U system may operate in one of two modes. The Single Mode and the
Parallel Mode.
• The voltage output of each module may be connected to an individual load when the device is
conguredtooperateinSingle Mode.
• Theoutputsofthemodulesmaybeconnectedinparallelwhenthedeviceisconguredtooperatein
Parallel Mode.Inthisconguration,theloadissharedamongeachoftheinstalledmodules.
