Safety and Recommended Practices
Failure to comply with the safety statements and requirements contained in this
document may result in injury and/or equipment damage.
WARNING: Failure to size the AC breaker and wiring properly can result in
nuisance breaker trips or even fire. Always follow NEC (national electrical
code) rules and your local company practices when selecting AC wires and
protection devices. For safety, the power supply is required to be reliably
connected to PROTECTIVE GROUND. The PE/ground wire of an AC connection must
be longer than the AC mains/line wires to ensure grounding in case of accidental
disconnection. The equipment is to be connected to supply mains by qualified
personnel in accordance with local and national codes (e.g., NEC, CEC, etc). To avoid
risk of being struck by lightning, do not disconnect and reconnect units during
lightning storms. The output of the power supply is not intended to accessible due
to energy hazards. Rack mounting must be performed in accordance with
instructions provided by the rack manufacturer to avoid potential hazards.
CAUTION: Hazardous voltage and energy levels are present which can
cause serious shocks and burns and/or death.
Installation Manual Flatpack S 2U US Series, I and K System – Doc. No. 370039.033, Issue 2.2, June 2017 5
WARNING: HIGH LEAKAGE CURRENT! Earth connection is essential before
connecting supply.
CAUTION: Keep hands, hardware and tools clear of the fans. Fans are
thermostatically controlled and will turn on automatically as a function of
temperature.
WARNING: For continued protection against fire, only replace a fuse with
another of the same type and rating. Indicating fuses have exposed live
parts. Use caution when replacing or servicing them.
If the plug end of an input line cord is considered to be the primary disconnection
means, then reasonable access must be given to the plug and receptacle area. The
receptacle must be fed with a breaker or fuse according to NEC requirements.
For hard-wired input connections, a readily accessible disconnection device must be
incorporated in the building installation wiring. Select circuit breaker sizes
according to national (NEC) and local electric codes.
Use Underwriters Laboratories (UL)-listed, double-hole lugs for all DC lug
connections to prevent lug rotation and inadvertent contact with other circuits.
It is recommended practice to ensure that all circuit breakers (including those for
DC distribution) are in the OFF position during both installation and removal.
Alarm contacts are rated for a maximum voltage of 60 V, SELV (Safety Extra Low
Voltage) and a maximum continuous current of 0.5A. Connection and mounting
torque requirements are listed in Table 9.
Rectifiers should be shipped in separate boxes, as provided by Eltek.

Typical and maximum values of heat dissipation for Eltek rectifiers are listed in
Table 4. “Typical” is calculated at nominal AC or DC input voltage, DC output
voltage and 50% load. “Maximum” is calculated at nominal AC or DC input, DC
output voltage and 100% load. A minimum of 2" of space is required at the front
and rear of the shelf.
NOTE: Heat dissipation greater than the objectives listed in GR-63-CORE may occur.
Additional equipment room cooling may be required.
NOTE: Values listed in Table 4 are per rectifier rather than the sum of a fully-
populated shelf.
Input Specifications
Depending on the configuration, the Flatpack S power shelves use six AMP
MATE-N-LOK connectors to power one rectifier per connector.
For MATE-N-LOK connectors, optional cables, unterminated on one end, allowing for
a single input plug into two MATE-N-LOK connectors, are available from Eltek, to
power two rectifiers per line cord. Cables vary depending on the length, breaker
size, or receptacle rating. Contact your Inside Sales Representative to find the
correct cable for your shelf.

20 Installation Manual Flatpack S 2U US Series, I and K System – Doc. No. 370039.033, Issue 2.2, June 2017
DC Output Wire Sizing
There are two main considerations for sizing DC wire, ampacity and voltage drop.
Ampacity refers to a safe current carrying level as specified by non-profit
organizations such as the NFPA. Voltage drop is simply the amount of voltage loss
in a length of wire due to ohmic resistance of the conductor. In general, ampacity
considerations will drive wire selection for short loop lengths (less than 50 feet) and
voltage drop will drive wire selection for long loop lengths (greater than 50 feet).
The National Electric Code provides values for various sizes, bundles of 3 or more
wires, ambient temperature correction factors, and insulation temperature rated
wire. ALWAYS FOLLOW NEC RULES AND YOUR LOCAL COMPANY PRACTICES WHEN
SELECTING DC WIRING AND PROTECTION.
The size of wires for DC circuit breakers must be based on the breaker size rating.
The size of wires for DC GMT fuses must be based on the GMT fuse size rating. The
selection of unprotected DC output wires is based on the total rectifier capacity of
the shelf.
DC Lug Requirements
Table 6 and Table 7 list lug part numbers that can be used for circuit breaker and
bulk output connections. The part numbers are for lugs used with flex conductor
cable. Consider the type of wire and your company’s requirements when
determining the exact type of lug. Burndy lugs are not required, but are listed for
convenience, as parts compatible with Flatpack S systems.
Table 6 lists the available lugs for use with the I System circuit breaker output
connections and DC ground.

Installation Manual Flatpack S 2U US Series, I and K System – Doc. No. 370039.033, Issue 2.2, June 2017 21
Table 7 lists the available lugs for use with the bulk connections, K system circuit
breaker output connections and DC ground.
DC Ground
A dedicated DC ground is recommended, and may be connected to any return
position. The circuit breaker return bus bar has an extra connection for this
purpose, as shown in Figure 44 on page 46. This connection has double #10-32
studs (I system), 1/4”-20 (K system) with 5/8” centers. The ground wire should be
equivalent (or greater) in size and insulation to the largest size wire used in the
system. All return connections are internally connected.
Circuit Breakers
Each breaker position can accept a breaker rating up to 100A.
NOTE: The current through a breaker should not exceed 80% of the rated value of
the breaker. For example, do not connect loads of more than 60A to a 75A circuit
breaker, or more than 80A to a 100A breaker. For power systems with circuit 56, do
not exceed 70A through each load breaker in ambient temperatures above 50°C.
Circuit breakers (sold separately) are UL-listed bullet style and install into the
breaker connection points. Follow national, local, and company codes for sizing and
installation. If circuit breakers supplied by Eltek are not used, the system requires
agency-approved listed breakers with isolated (dry) alarm contacts. In addition,
alarm contacts should short-circuit between the NC (normally closed) and
C (common) connections in a tripped state.
22 Installation Manual Flatpack S 2U US Series, I and K System – Doc. No. 370039.033, Issue 2.2, June 2017
TPS Fuses
TPS style fuses can be used in place of circuit breakers. Nevertheless, for
I systems, due to the increased depth of the fuse holder over a circuit breaker, you
cannot install a TPS fuse in the lowest position, as shown in Figure 37, on page 42.
Fuse holder
TPS fuse
NOTE: For loads larger than 6A per fuse, fuse slots should be left unpopulated on
either side to provide adequate heat dissipation. See Table 8 for the recommended
fuse position configurations for specific maximum loads per fuse circuit.
Installation Manual Flatpack S 2U US Series, I and K System – Doc. No. 370039.033, Issue 2.2, June 2017 23
As shown in Table 8, fuses may be installed in consecutive fuse slots for loads up to
6A per fuse. For loads up to 10A per fuse, one fuse slot should be left unpopulated
between each fuse. For loads up to 12A per fuse, both slots on either side of each
fuse should be left unpopulated.
NOTE: It is recommended that current through a fuse not exceed 80% of the rated
value of the fuse. Do not connect loads to the GMT fuse block that will draw more
than 12A per circuit (80% of the 15A rating per fuse slot) or 60A total load.

28 Installation Manual Flatpack S 2U US Series, I and K System – Doc. No. 370039.033, Issue 2.2, June 2017
Install the Controller
The Smartpack S controller is designed for the Flatpack S power system. Install the
controller into the controller slot, which is on the left side of the shelf (see Figure
19). Only gentle force is required to fully install the controller module. If the
controller does not mate with the backplane, simply withdraw the controller,
realign, and try again.
To mount the Smartpack S controller:
Locked Unlocked
(position 1) (position 2)
1. Ensure that the controller is unlocked. Using a screwdriver, turn the locking
screw to the unlocked position (position #2 on face of controller).
Note: When the mechanism is locked (position #1), the Ethernet port can be
accessed by sliding the front section of the controller forward from within
shelf. The controller can be mounted in the power shelf with the locking
screw in either locked and unlocked positions, but the recommended practice
is to keep the controller unlocked during installation and removal, until the
unit is properly in place.
For shelves with flush-mount brackets: Because the space produced by the

Connect Input
Before making input connections, read the following “Input Warnings,” and then
proceed to “Input Installation” on page 34.
Input Warnings
WARNING: Each input feed must be grounded. Always make ground
connections first.
NOTICE: Hazardous energy is present in the system once the input service panel
circuit breakers are activated. Exercise caution when opening doors and accessing
equipment when the system is powered.
Input voltage from the power supply is present. Improper connection may cause
damage or serious injury. Make sure the input service panel circuit breakers feeding
the system are OFF and locked out during installation, especially while making cable
connections. Use a voltmeter to check the presence of voltage from the supply.
Ensure that all power switches are in the OFF position – in the system, devices, and
at supply. Improper wiring may cause bodily injury and equipment damage. Before
performing maintenance, either unplug or disconnect the equipment from the
power source in order to reduce the risk of electric shock or other possible hazards.
NOTICE: The ampacity of the wire must always be greater than or equal to the
protection device (fuse or circuit breaker) regulating the wire, regardless of voltage
drop calculations.
WARNING: Shock hazard! Make sure all power sources are off or
deactivated before making electrical connections. Input mains should
remain off until all electrical connections are terminated and verified.
