RT7-48V/6kW

Specification

The RT7-48V/6kW is a 3 phase, active power factor Illustrated is a single rectifier module.
corrected, switched mode rectifier (SMR) module
designed to provide up to 6kW of output power
(100A nominal) into a 48V nominal system. This
rectifier is primarily used in conjunction with a
battery to provide an uninterruptible DC power
system for telecommunications applications. Up
to 20 rectifiers can fit in a rack and up to 225
rectifiers can be configured as a system using one
control and supervisory unit (CSU). The system
can be monitored and controlled remotely using
WinCSU software (see CSU specification for more
details).

Remote Controls
Equalise Mode Equalise mode is initiated by a signal from the CSU. In case of loss of
communication with the controller the SMR will default to the Float mode.
Rectifier Inhibit Rectifiers can be inhibited by a signal from a remote WinCSU terminal,
transmitted via the CSU;
External Digital Voltage The CSU uses the optically isolated communications lines to digitally
Control (EDVC) control rectifier Float and Equalise voltages over a limited voltage range in
order to adjust battery voltage for temperature and voltage drop in DC bus,
limit the maximum battery recharging current and to achieve active
current sharing;
