Important Safety Instructions
Safety Admonishments Definitions
Definitions of the safety admonishments used in this document are listed under “Admonishments Used in this Document” on page v.
General Safety
DANGER! YOU MUST FOLLOW APPROVED SAFETY PROCEDURES.
Performing the following procedures may expose you to hazards. These procedures should be performed by qualified
technicians familiar with the hazards associated with this type of equipment. These hazards may include shock, energy,
and/or burns. To avoid these hazards:
a) The tasks should be performed in the order indicated.
b) Remove watches, rings, and other metal objects.
c) Prior to contacting any uninsulated surface or termination, use a voltmeter to verify that no voltage or the expected
voltage is present. Check for voltage with both AC and DC voltmeters prior to making contact.
d) Wear eye protection.
e) Use certified and well maintained insulated tools. Use double insulated tools appropriately rated for the work to be
performed.
Voltages
AC Input Voltages
DANGER! This system may operate from AC input voltage capable of producing fatal electrical shock. AC input power must
be completely disconnected from the branch circuits wiring used to provide power to the system before any AC electrical
connections are made. Follow local lockout/tagout procedures to ensure upstream branch circuit breakers remain de-
energized during installation. DO NOT apply AC input power to the system until all electrical connections have been
completed and checked.
DC Output and Battery Voltages
DANGER! This system may produce DC power and may have a battery source connected to it. Although the DC voltage is
not hazardously high, the rectifiers and/or battery can deliver large amounts of current. Exercise extreme caution not to
inadvertently contact or have any tool inadvertently contact an output terminal or battery terminal or exposed wire
connected to an output terminal or battery terminal. NEVER allow a metal object, such as a tool, to contact more than one
termination or battery terminal at a time, or to simultaneously contact a termination or battery terminal and a grounded
object. Even a momentary short circuit can cause sparking, explosion, and injury.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
DANGER! ARC FLASH AND SHOCK HAZARD.
Appropriate PPE and tools required when working on this equipment. An appropriate flash protection boundary analysis
should be done to determine the “hazard/risk” category, and to select proper PPE.
Only authorized and properly trained personnel should be allowed to install, inspect, operate, or maintain the equipment.
Do not work on LIVE parts. If required to work or operate live parts, obtain appropriate Energized Work Permits as required
by the local authority, per NFPA 70E “Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace”.
Hazardous Voltage
DANGER! HAZARD OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
More than one disconnect may be required to de-energize the system before servicing.
Handling Equipment Containing Static Sensitive Components
ALERT! Installation or removal of equipment containing static sensitive components requires careful handling. Before
handling any equipment containing static sensitive components, read and follow the instructions contained on the Static
Warning Page.

Static Warning
This equipment contains static sensitive components. The warnings listed below must be observed to prevent damage to
these components. Disregarding any of these warnings may result in personal injury or damage to the equipment.
1. Strictly adhere to the procedures provided in this document.
2. Before touching any equipment containing static sensitive components, discharge all static electricity from yourself by
wearing a wrist strap grounded through a one megohm resistor. Some wrist straps have a built-in one megohm resistor;
no external resistor is necessary. Read and follow wrist strap manufacturer’s instructions outlining use of a specific wrist
strap.
3. Do not touch traces or components on equipment containing static sensitive components. Handle equipment
containing static sensitive components only by the edges that do not have connector pads.
4. After removing equipment containing static sensitive components, place the equipment only on static dissipative
surfaces such as conductive foam or ESD bag. Do not use ordinary Styrofoam or ordinary plastic.
5. Store and ship equipment containing static sensitive components only in static shielding containers.
6. If necessary to repair equipment containing static sensitive components, wear an appropriately grounded wrist strap,
work on a conductive surface, use a grounded soldering iron, and use grounded test equipment.

1.3 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 -54 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.
1.4 Rectifier Specifications
The specifications are for a single unit only, unless otherwise noted.
1.4.1 DC Output Ratings
1. Voltage: -42 VDC to -58 VDC, positive ground. Output voltage is factory set at -54 VDC.
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 1for a graph of output voltage vs. output current.

Figure 1: 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, 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
5. Power Derating Based on Temperature: The rectifier delivers full power when operating at an ambient temperature of +50 °C
(+122 °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 +50 °C (+122 °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 +50 °C (+122 °C) and +75 °C (+167 °F) will result in output
power being decreased. Full power capability is restored when the temperature decreases to below approximately +50 °C
(+122 °F). Refer to Figure 3to view the relationship between the output power and the ambient temperature.
