INTRODUCTION
Overview
The rectifier provides load power, battery float current, and battery recharge current during normal operating
conditions. The rectifier is a constant power design. The rectifier is rated at its maximum output power. This
means that, within the normal operating ambient temperature range and input voltage range, the maximum
available output power is a constant 2000W. Within these ranges, the rectifier operates in one of three modes,
depending upon load demands. Transition between modes is completely automatic. If ambient temperature
rises above or input voltage falls below acceptable values, the rectifier continues to operate but at derated
output power levels.
•Constant Voltage Mode: For any initial output voltage setting from 42 to 58 volts, output voltage
remains constant regardless of load. This is the normal operating condition, in which loads are being
supplied and batteries are float charged. Rectifiers operate in the Constant Voltage Mode unless load
increases to the point where the product of load current and output voltage is approximately 2000W.
•Constant Power Mode: As load increases above approximately 2000W (non-adjustable), output current
continues to increase, but output voltage decreases as required to maintain constant output power.
Rectifiers operate in the Constant Power Mode unless load continues to increase to the point where the
current limit setting is reached.
•Constant Current Mode: If load increases to the current limit setting, output voltage decreases linearly
to maintain output current at the current limit setting.

DC Output Ratings
NOTE! A current limitation can be set by the User and the output voltage level is set through the
controller.
•Voltage: Nominal -48 volts DC, positive ground.Output voltage is adjustable from -42 to -58 volts DC
via the associated controller.
•Output Power and Current: 2000W (41.7A) @ 120/208/240VAC input and -48VDC output.
•Output Characteristics: Refer to Figure 1for a graph of output voltage vs. output current.

•Power Derating Based on Input Voltage: The rectifier power varies with changes in input voltage and
output voltage. It uses an advanced power limitation method. The lower input threshold is 85 VAC. The
rectifier can provide its maximum rated power (2000W) as long as the input voltage is within the range
of 176 to 300VAC. Below 176 VAC, and down to 85 VAC, the rectifier will continue to operate normally
but will be in a power derating mode. The relationship between the output power and input voltage is
illustrated in Figure 2.
Figure 2: Power Derating Based on Input Voltage
NOTE! Blue Line: Linear derating from 85V AC to 176V AC.
Yellow Line: Linear derating from 2000 watts at 176V AC to 1000 watts at 132V AC. Constant 1000
watts from 132V AC to 93V AC.
•Power Derating Based on Temperature: The rectifier delivers full power when operating at an ambient
temperature of +55°C (+131°F) or below. Each rectifier continuously monitors the ambient temperature
surrounding the power conversion circuit. If this temperature for any reason (such as a high ambient
temperature) increases above approximately +55°C (+131°F), the rectifier will not shut down. Rather, the
rectifier limits its maximum output power to maintain the temperature of the power conversion circuit
within design parameters. Operation between +55°C (+131°C) and +80°C (+176°F) will result in output
power being decreased. Full power capability is restored when the temperature decreases to below
approximately +55°C (+131°F). Refer to Figure 3to view the relationship between the output power and
the ambient temperature.
Other power rating values are as follows (refer to Figure 3):
a) At an ambient temperature of +65°C (+149°F), the power delivered by the rectifier is 1800W.
b) At an ambient temperature of +70°C (+158°F), the power delivered by the rectifier is 1500W.
WARNING! The module is rated for continuous operation at full output power up to +55°C (+131°F).
Operation between +55°C (+131°F) and +80°C (+176°F) will result in output power decrease. Operation
above +80°C (+176°F) is considered abnormal and should be used on a temporary1basis only.
1Temporary Operation at Abnormal Temperature: Temporary operation is defined as a period of
not more than eight consecutive hours per day, and a total of not more than 15 days in a year.
(This refers to a total of 120 hours in any given year, but no more than 15 occurrences in that one-
year period.)

•Regulation:
a) Static: Steady state regulation is ±0.6% as controlled within the rectifier for any and all combinations
of load from no load to full load, input voltage, and input frequency at a constant ambient
temperature. The associated system controller may provide increased regulation.
b) Dynamic: For any step load change within the range of 10% to 90% of full load within 50
microseconds, per Telcordia GR-947-CORE, the maximum voltage transient will not exceed 5% of
the initial steady state voltage within 50±10 microseconds. Recovery to within 1% of the initial
steady state voltage does not exceed 1 milliseconds.
•Filtering:
a) Voice Band Noise: Complies with Telcordia GR-947-CORE.
1. Output noise according to Telcordia GR-947-CORE is < 38 dBrnC typical at normal input and
20% to 70% of rated load for more than one rectifier.
2. Psophometric noise is ≤ 2 mV typical at 20% to 70% of rated load for more than one rectifier.
b) Wide Band Noise: Complies with Telcordia GR-947-CORE.
1. Wideband noise emission is < 250 mV peak to peak between 0 Hz –100 MHz, and < 50 mV rms
in any 3 kHz band 10 KHz –20 MHz.
