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 -48.0 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 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 rectifier 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 -48.0 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 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, 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 120 VAC with output >48 VDC, maximum output power is 1500 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), the power is linear derated.
c) At an ambient temperature of +75 °C (+167 °F), the power delivered by the rectifier is 0 W.
