1.4 Rectifier Overview
The rectifier provides load power 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 2000 W. 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 VDC to -58 VDC (factory set at -55.2 VDC),
output voltage remains constant regardless of load. This is the normal operating condition, in which loads are being
supplied. The rectifier operates in the Constant Voltage Mode unless load increases to the point where the product of
load current and output voltage is approximately 2000 W.
•Constant Power Mode: As load increases above approximately 2000 W (non-adjustable), output current continues to
increase, but output voltage decreases as required to maintain constant output power. The rectifier operates 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.
•Fold Back: The fold back function is necessary to protect the rectifier against excessive load. The rectifier will deliver
maximum current of 41.7 A down to 42 VDC output. If the load demand exceeds 41.7 A, the rectifier output will "fold
back", reducing the voltage as shown in Figure 1.1 so as to limit the current and protect the rectifier. (The dotted line in
Figure 1.1 represents the Fold Back.)
1.5 Rectifier Specifications
The specifications are for a single unit only, unless otherwise noted.
1.5.1 DC Output Ratings
1. Voltage: -42 VDC to -58 VDC, positive ground. Output voltage is factory set at -55.2 VDC.
NOTE! Voltage cannot be adjusted.
2. Output Power and Current: 2000 W (41.7 A) @ 200 VAC to 250 VAC input and -48 VDC output.
3. Output Characteristics: Refer to Figure 1.1 for a graph of output voltage vs. output current.
4. Power Derating Based on Input Voltage: The rectifier power varies with changes in input voltage. It uses an advanced
power limitation method. The lower input threshold is 85 VAC. The rectifier can provide its maximum rated power
(2000 W) as long as the input voltage is within the range of 176 VAC to 300 VAC. Below 176 VAC, and down to 85 VAC,

Vertiv™ NetSure™ IPE Series -48 VDC Outdoor Rectifier Installation and User Manual
4
the rectifier will continue to operate normally but will be in a power derating mode. Between85 VAC and 176VAC the
output power
derating linearlybased on the input voltage as follows:
-At input voltage of 85 VAC with output >48 VDC, maximum output power is 1000 W.
-At input voltage of 176 VAC with output >48 VDC, maximum output power is 2000 W.
The relationship between the output power and input voltage is illustrated in Figure 1.2.
5. Power Derating Based on Temperature: The rectifier delivers full power when operating at an ambient temperature of
+55 °C (+131 °F) or below. The 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 limit of the rectifier. Operation between +55 °C (+131 °F) and +75 °C (+167 °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 1.3 to view the relationship between the output power and the ambient
temperature.
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 +75 °C (+167 °F) will result in output power decrease. Operation above +75 °C (+167 °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, at a temperature above +75 °C
(+167 °F). (This refers to a total of 120 hours in any given year, but no more than 15 occurrences in that one-year
period.)
Other power rating values are as follows (refer to Figure 1.3):
a) At an ambient temperature of +55 °C (+131 °F), the power delivered by the rectifier is 2000 W.
b) At an ambient temperature between +55 °C (+131 °F) and +75 °C (+167 °F) is power linear derating.
c) At an ambient temperature of +75 °C (+167 °F), the power delivered by the rectifier is 0 W.

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 millisecond.
7. Filtering:
a) Voice Band Noise: Peak-peak voltage is ≤200 mV at 0 MHZ to 20 MHZ and normal output voltage.
b) Wide Band Noise: Wideband noise voltage is ≤50 mV at 3.4 kHz to 150 kHz and ≤20 mV at 0.15 MHz to 30 MHz.
1.5.2 AC Input Ratings
1. Voltage: Nominal 100 VAC to 250 VAC, 50 Hz / 60 Hz, with an operating range of 85 VAC to 300 VAC. The rated input
voltage is 220 VAC. Acceptable input frequency range is 45 Hz to 65 Hz.

3. Safety: CE, UL 62368-1, UL 62368-22, EN 62368-1, IEC 62368-1.
1.5.6 Standard Features
1. Type of Power Conversion Circuit: High efficiency and high switching frequency.
2. Input Protection:
a) Input Over/Under Voltage Protection: The rectifier will shut down at low or high voltage input; based on the
following voltage levels:
Low Voltage Disable Point: 80 VAC, ±5 V; hysteresis is at least 15 VAC for restart.
High Voltage Disable Point: 305 VAC, ±5 V; hysteresis is at least 10 VAC for restart.
3. Output Protection:
a) Overload / Reverse Current: The rectifier has three (3) fuses in the negative output DC bus and one (1) in the
battery input. These fuses are customer replaceable.
b) Output Current Limiting: The rectifier has a current limit function. The current limit point is factory set at 41.7 A.
The current limit accuracy is ±1.5 A when the output voltage is in the range of 42 VDC to 58 VDC.
c) Advanced Current Limit Function: The rectifier has an enhanced non settable current limit function. When a short
circuit occurs at the rectifier output terminals, the rectifier will limit the current to 34.5 A. This function effectively
protects the rectifier and the equipment connected to the rectifier. When the short circuit is cleared, the rectifier
will automatically restore back to normal operation.
d) High Voltage Shutdown:
•Fixed Control: If rectifier output voltage exceeds 59.5 VDC, the rectifier shuts down.
The rectifier then restarts and a HVSD restart timer starts (factory set at 5 minutes). If output voltage again
exceeds the high voltage shutdown value before the HVSD restart timer expires, the rectifier shuts down and
locks out. Manual restart is then required (by turning power to the rectifier off, waiting 30 seconds or more,
then turning power to the rectifier on). If the rectifier does not experience a high voltage condition before the
HVSD restart timer expires, the restart circuit is reset.
4. Over-Temperature Protection: The rectifier provides over temperature protection by derating output power and
recovers automatically.
CAUTION! Double pole/neutral fusing.
