Description
Special mounting supports have been designed for the in-
tegration of power supplies into switch boards, control pan-
els, printed circuit boards, etc. using adapters for Chassis-,
DIN-Rail or PCB mounting.
The 19 inch cassette type DC-DC and AC-DC converters
can also be chassis mounted with frontal access by means
of a special
Chassis Mounting Plate
, attached to the con-
verters.
The
Universal Mounting Bracket
also fits to most of these
cassette type converters, allowing for either vertical chas-
sis- or DIN-Rail mounting.
A
Bracket Kit
, consisting of a PCB with screw terminal con-
nectors and a bracket suitable for either Chassis- or DIN-
Rail mounting, is available either for PCB mountable PSR
and PSA Switching Regulators with option "Y" pins or for
small DC-DC converters 1...15 Watt.
For isolation of the PCB-mountable converters from a dou-
ble sided PCB, the use of
Isolation Pads
is recommended,
as described below.
A
Flexible H11 PCB
allows for connection of casette type
converters with H11 connector mounted on a printed circuit
board to this board.
Note: All dimensions are in mm, with tolerances of ±0.2 mm

CMB: Chassis Mounting Bracket
The kit consists of a PCB for the converter, a set of screw
terminals allowing for easy electrical connection and two
aluminium profiles, attached to the PCB by means of four
screws, which serve as the chassis mounting bracket. Four
different versions according to table 2 are available.
Details on the layout of the PCB's and diagrams are given
in the description below.
DMB: DIN-Rail Mounting Bracket
The DMB kit differs from the "CMB" version by a bracket
suited for DIN-rail mounting (according to EN 50022, in-
cluding Hat- and C-rail). The black plastic body of the
bracket holds the PCB by means of a snap-in device. Four
different versions according to table 2 are available.
Details on the layout of the PCB's and diagrams are given
in the description below.
C/DMBA01-.. Electrical Description
This bracket is designed for non-isolated Switching Regula-
tors of the PSR and PSA series in the A01 case size,
equipped with "Option Y" pins and giving output voltages
between 5 V and 48 V. Technical details, i.e. max. input volt-
age etc. are described in the relevant PSR and PSA data
and further information is given in the application notes.
The use of the optional inhibit- and R-functions (external
output voltage adjustment with R1) is possible and the de-
vice can be driven either from a DC-source or from a trans-
former secondary voltage.
DC-input: Consider the forward voltage drop across the
rectifier diodes (also providing reverse polarity protec-
tion). Capacitor C1 compensates the negative converter
input impedance in case of long connection wires to the
module.
AC-input: The recommended transformer secondary vol-
tage is 48 Vrms for PSR and 72 Vrms for PSA (
U
i max 144 V)
Exception: Input voltage for PSR 54 (PSA 55) is 20 Vrms.
PSR 54 (PSA 55) and PSR 362 require an addi-
tional capacitor (C2) of at least 470 µF.

Improved electromagnetic emission EN 55022, level B,
lead length to load 1 m. (Level A for 110 IMX 7 types)
This requires all capacitors and output chokes as per cir-
cuit diagram YSK 25300 S3 /01 whereby the coupling
capacitor C10 connected to Vi via jumper B2 is fore-
seen for 24/48 IMS/L types and 20/40/70 IMX 7 types.
For 110 IMX 7 types the coupling capacitor C11 or C12
should be used connected to Vo+ via jumper B3.
Note:
For single output units or double output units with the 2
outputs in parallel one filter set (L5 or L6-A/L6-B)
together with C7 and C9 is sufficient.
Wire jumpers B2 and B3 should not be mounted to-
gether onto the PCB as this would cause a short cir-
cuit.
The coupling capacitors C10 or C11/12 should be Y2
ceramic types to maintain the outputs SELV

DMB-K/S, DMB-MHQ
By means of these DMB mounting kits, the S, K, PSS, PSK
(DMB-K/S) and the M, H, Q (DMB-MHQ) converters can be
adapted to the DIN rail. The kit consists of two aluminium
brakets to be mounted on each side of the converter, in-
cluding a clamp. The DMB-K/S kit contains two different
sets of screws for the adaption of the brakets either to S/
PSS or K/PSK converter types. The design of the kit is
made such that the fixture is very tight and as a result the
assembly can also be used for mobile applications.

Description
All 19" cassette type converters are equipped with either
H11-, H15-, H15 S2 or H15 S4 male connectors. Mating fe-
male connectors are available as accessories according to
the following tables. The four H-type connector versions are
specially designed for power supply applications, capable
of handling high operating currents. The connectors have
an integrated code key system allowing many coding possi-
bilities. Modules with high output current normally use two
contacts in parallel to keep the voltage drop across the con-
nector as low as possible.
H11 Connector
This connector has eleven contacts in one vertical column
marked 2 to 32. Mating and mounting conditions are ac-
cording to DIN 41612. The connector contacts are hard-
silver-plated and correspond to quality class 1, with respect
to electrical and mechanical life time.

H15 S2, H15 S4 Connector
This special connector is a derivative of the H15 having
seven standard contacts as above, combined with two
(H15 S2) or four (H15 S4) high current contacts according
to DIN 41626. The high current contacts are specially de-
signed to handle currents from 20 A up to 40 A. They corre-
spond to quality class 1, with respect to electrical and me-
chanical life time. The contact material is high quality Beryl-
lium-Copper (CuBe treated) with a gold-plated surface.
To install the high current contacts carefully follow the as-
sembly instructions. It is extremely important to solder ca-
bles, screw cable terminals or heat shrink sleeves to high
current jacks first, before inserting them into the moulding.
Paralleled converters should preferably be interconnected
on current bars or at a star point.
Using screw versions, the two outer high current jacks may
be inserted at a 90° angle in order to prevent possible short
circuits between the cable terminals, especially in applica-
tions with high vibration environment. Heat shrink sleeves
might be necessary for further isolation purposes or to keep
clearance and creepage distances at specified levels.
An Extraction Tool allows removal of the high current con-
tacts for replacement (see:
Extraction Tool
).
Caution: The use of an adequate cable strain relief de-
vice (e.g. Cable Hood etc.) is essential in order to protect
the high current contact jacks from damage. Never
screw, solder or manipulate these contacts when the
connector is plugged into the male connector! The use
of highly flexible cables is strongly recommended.
This connector type (male version) is used in the following
converter series (case size):
PSK (K01), K (K02) and P with output current 20 A.

Extraction Tool
for High Current Contacts
High current plugs and jacks can be disassembled from the
moulding by means of a special Extraction Tool (H15 S2,
H15 S4). Holding the extraction tool over the centre of the
connector's female contact the outer part of the extraction
tool should be fed between the moulding and the outside of
the female contact itself. This releases the spring clip fixing
the contacts, in order to pull the contacts out of their mould-
ing for replacement. If the operation is performed correctly
very little force is required. Extreme care should be taken
since incorrect procedure and excessive force could dam-
age the tool and/or connector.
This tool is available as an accessory for both screw or sol-
der high current contacts.
Note: In order to avoid damage never manipulate high cur-
rent contacts when plugged-in!

Code Key System
An efficient coding system is of great importance and can-
not be valued highly enough in complex electronic systems.
Since power supplies handle high currents and voltages
any false connection could not only be extremely danger-
ous but also quite costly.
This integrated polarizing system allows effortless coding
by the simple insertion of Coding Wedges into the female
connector mouldings. The corresponding counter-parts, i.e.
the coding tabs of the male moulding just have to be broken
off to match the right female part. Major advantages are
high mechanical stability and ease of handling. The H11
connectors have 10 and the H15 connectors have 8 coding
positions. Using 4 coding wedges results in 210 (H11) re-
spectively 70 (H15) different coding possibilities. Coding
wedges are available as accessories to female connectors
with the following part number:

Temperature Sensors
Description
Power-One offers a wide range of battery charger systems
for power requirements of 50 Watt up to 8000 Watt.
For this purpose Power-One supplies temperature sensors
and adapted power supplies. The batteries (lead acid bat-
teries) are charged according to the battery temperature
and the ambient temerature. If the battery is fully charged it
is maintained at the float charge voltage which represents
the optimum point for maximum available energy in case of
need and optimum life expectancy of the battery. The type
of sensor needed is defined mainly by three parameters:
The nominal battery voltage (e.g. 24 V or 48 V), the tempe-
rature coefficient of the battery (e.g. –3.0 mV/K/cell) and the
nominal floating charge voltage per cell of the battery
at 20°C (e.g. 2.27 V/cell). The latter two are defined in the
specifications of the battery given by the respective battery
manufacturer.

Temperature Sensors for T and U units
T and U units feature a cell voltage selector switch (feature
Z) to set the required floating charge voltage at 20°C di-
rectly at the unit. If this Z switch is used the 2.23 V/cell sen-
sor types should be selected in any case as a basis and the
selection criteria are only the temperature coefficient of the
battery and the nominal battery voltage. If for example a
24 V battery is used which has a cell voltage of 2.27 V/cell
and a temperature coefficient of –3.5 mV/K/cell, the sensor
type is S24-2.23-35-02. The setting on the Z switch of the T
or U unit should be 2.27.
For units without the Z selector switch a sensor according
to both criteria should be selected. In our example it would
be S24-2.27-35-02.
For further details please consult the T or U datasheet.

Temperature Sensors for
M, H, S, K, KP, PSx, W, OK Units
With M, H, S, K, KP, PSx, W and OK units the sensor signal
acts on the R pin to adjust the output voltage relative to the
battery temperature and the ambient temperature. As these
units in contrast to the T and U units do not feature a cell
voltage selector switch (Z switch) the sensor selection crite-
ria is in every case both the cell voltage and the tempera-
ture coefficient (beside the nominal battery voltage).
If the application uses for example a 48 V battery with a cell
voltage of 2.23 V/cell and a temperature coefficient of
3.0mV/K/cell the sensor S-KSMH48-2.23-30-2 should be
selected.

Fail Safe Operation
To prevent overcharging of the battery but still maintain a
minimum charging in case of interruption of the sensor sig-
nal cable to the power supply, Power-One has designed
units with a special nominal output voltage setting. These
units differ from the respective standard units described in
the datasheet in the nominal output voltage and output
current settings. Without the sensor connected to the R pin
the output voltage will be higher than the nominal battery
voltage to avoid a discharging of the battery but still lower
than the theoretically needed float charge voltage. As soon
as the sensor is connected to the R pin the output voltage
will be set to the correct value.

Electrical Accessory Products Filter & Ring Core Chokes

Filters and Ring Core Chokes FP Series
L Series
LP SeriesDescription
These Filters and chokes are designed to reduce input in-
terference and/or output ripple voltages occurring in appli-
cations with switched mode power supplies. Since all our
filters contain a Moly Permalloy Powder (MPP) ring core
they feature very low DC losses as well as high DC mag-
netisation and operate perfectly at the input and/or output
of switching regulators ensuring effective filtering even at
elevated DC current levels. These special characteristics
allow the chokes to be operated at DC currents which con-
siderably exceed the rated current, by accepting a corre-
sponding gradual loss of inductance (unlike ferrite core
chokes where inductance rapidly decreases above a cer-
tain DC magnetising level).
In applications where switching regulators have long supply
lines, filters and chokes are used in order to prevent oscilla-
tions caused by their negative input impedance. For further
information refer also to switching regulator data for "Option
L", and to section:

Filter Blocks FP Types
The filter blocks contain, in addition to a MPP ring core, a
capacitor and an attenuation resistor, capable of handling
the high ripple currents seen at the input of switching regu-
lators. This forms a complete external filter system opti-
mised to prevent oscillations and to reduce superimposed
interference voltages and currents, specially designed for
use in PCB applications together with switching regulators
in an A01 case size. For selection of filters refer to the type
survey.

Reduction of Output Ripple
Even though switching regulators have an inherently low
output ripple, certain sensitive applications need even fur-
ther reduction. In such cases, the filters designed to reduce
disturbances at the input, can also be used for reducing the
ripple on the output voltage (even better results with regard
to the ripple and dynamic control deviation can be achieved
by using low-loss ring core chokes in combination with an
external capacitor, see below).
The output ripple can be reduced by the use of filter blocks
by about 24 dB. The formula for the ripple
u
R at the load
R
L
is as follows:
u
R = 0.063 •
u
o
(Ripple voltage
u
o is given for specific regulators in the cor-
responding data section).
Consider, that the filter not only affects the output ripple but
can also influence the voltage across the load
R
L in the
event of load changes. The static load regulation increases
with the ohmic resistance of the choke i.e. 24 mV/A for the
FP 38 and FP 80 filters and 95 mV/A for the FP 144 filter.

Reduction of voltage interference by FP filters
Input Interference Reduction
An AC ripple current can be measured at the input of any
switching regulator, even if they are equipped with an input
filter. Depending on the types of filters used, common and/
or differential mode interferences can be reduced. They will
also help to further increase the surge and burst immunity
of the power supplies.
The FP filters considerably increase the source impedance
of the regulators superimposed interference, to a value
which is normally high in comparison to the impedance of
the source (
Z
Line). The interference currents are therefore
practically independent of their source impedance. The fil-
ter will reduce these currents by approximately 25 dB at a
frequency of 150 kHz.
The interference voltages at the filter input are due to the
remaining interference currents flowing through the source
impedance. The resulting interference voltage reduction
can be seen in the following figure. For frequencies above
the regulator switching frequency the attenuation will in-
crease (up to 2 MHz approx.).
Parallel operation: When several switching regulator inputs
are connected in parallel, each regulator should be
equipped with a separate input filter. Interconnections
should only be made in front of the filter or at its input Uii
(i. e. the central ground point should be before or at the filter
and under no circumstances at the regulator input).

ing superimposed interference voltage

ured at the regulators input. The connection of a filter in
front of the power supply will reduce this interference ac-
cordingly:
1. The regulator's source impedance is mainly inductive be-
cause of the low battery impedance and the long supply
lines. It can be calculated as follows:

Low-Loss Ring Core Chokes L/LP-Series
The ring core chokes, in combination with a capacitor, may
easily be used for application specific LC filters at the input
or output of switched mode power supplies. All chokes are
suitable for PCB mounting. They are either moulded into
plastic cases or isolated from the PCB by means of an iso-
lation pad.
Series L/LP 20-7 and LP 34-3 are intended for use as differ-
ential mode filters and the current compensated choke
LP 183 enables attenuation of common mode interference.

Input Interference Reduction
Using L- or LP-series chokes together with an additional
external capacitor a similar attenuation can be achieved as
with filter blocks. The capacitor between the choke and the
converter input is necessary in order to avoid possible oscil-
lations caused by the negative input impedance of the regu-
lator. This phenomenon could cause the input voltage to
leave the specified regulator input range. The relatively
high ripple current flowing through the capacitor must be
considered for the design. Refer also to:
Technical Informa-
tion: Installation & Application
.
The current compensated choke LP 183 has a high perme-
ability ring core with two identical separate windings. The
normal operating current will only see the small stray in-
ductance between the windings. However common mode
interference will be blocked by the full inductance of the
choke.

Reduction of Output Ripple
Even though switching regulators have an inherently low
output ripple, certain sensitive applications need even fur-
ther reduction. In such cases, the low-loss ring core chokes
designed to reduce disturbances at the input can also be
used for reducing the ripple on the output voltage. The
chokes in combination with an external capacitor can
achieve even better results than the Filter Blocks with re-
gard to the ripple and dynamic regulation.
The formula for the remaining output ripple at the load

calculated as follows:

(ESR) of the capacitor (please refer to the
corresponding data sheet).

S: 150 kHz (regulator switching frequency)
Through the use of a common mode choke LP 183, the
common mode noise at the output can also be further re-
duced.
Consider that the filter not only affects the output ripple but
can also influence the voltage
U
R across the load
R
L in the
event of load changes. The static regulation increases with
the ohmic resistance of the choke, i.e. 6 mV/A for the choke
L/LP 20-7 and 20 mV/A for the LP 34-3.
The dynamic regulation is dependent on the size of the ca-
pacitor. Generally, the bigger
C
ex the smaller is the dy-
namic, however, recovery will be slower.
Typical Application
A voltage drop
U
rGo =
r
Go (
I
o
I

ground loop resistance
r
Go. It is superimposed upon the
regulators output voltage
U
o and generates the voltage
U
R
=
U
o
U
r Go across the load resistance
R
L. Without an input
inductance
L
e the current
I
i in the input circuit has a rela-
tively high AC component with a basic frequency
f
s (regula-
tor's switching frequency of approx. 150 kHz). This alternat-
ing current produces an AC voltage component across
r
Go
which is superimposed upon
U
RL.
To prevent this phenomenon, an inductance
L
e can be in-
serted into the input circuit. This causes the AC component
of the input current to be supplied entirely from the input
capacitor
C
e; thus,
I
i is a pure direct current.
C
e should be
wired as close as possible to the regulator's input terminals
Vi+ and Gi.
L
e and
C
e additionally provide protection against input tran-
sients and reduce radio interference voltages.
External connection of Gi and Go or connection via a
common ground is not recommended. The internal voltage
drop
U
rG in the regulator would be superimposed on the
output voltage.

Summary
The back plane types BPF 1000 and BPD 1000 have been
designed for fast and simple set-up of 19" rack mounted
power supply systems powered by AC-DC converters of
the T series. Battery charger systems, telecom rectifiers
and modular power bus systems can easily be configured
with n+1 redundancy if required. Three T units can be
plugged into one back plane providing up to 1.6 kW output
power.
Since for such applications the status of the power bus is of
importance rather than the output status of a single AC-DC
converter, T units with option D should be choosen enabling
remote bus voltage sensing.
The back plane concept allows system assembly in next to
no time. When fitted in the rack all input and output termi-
nals are readily accessible from the rear. The AC input is
designed for single or 3-phase operation. The monitoring
signals and the control signal inputs and outputs are avail-
able from a screw terminal strip. System specific signal
combination is possible with different jumper settings. The
back plane fulfills in this way the function of a controller unit.
The layout of the back plane and the hot plug-in capability
of the AC-DC converters allow system expansion under
load (e.g. from 550 W up to 1.6 kW) by simply inserting fur-
ther T units into the rack. Larger system power extension is
just a matter of interlinking the DC output rails and signal
outputs of two or more racks.
The back planes are available in 2 basic versions:
BPD 1000
A front-end version, fitted with decoupling diodes in each
positive line to the DC bus, for systems with 2 or more
T units in parallel or n+1 redundancy.
BPF 1000
A battery charger version, in which each output is fitted
with a fuse in the positive line to the DC bus, for battery
charging or rectifier systems with two or more T units in
parallel or n+1 redundancy.
For minimum electromagnetic emission at the input, both
the BPD and the BPF versions are fitted with input filters.
Should project specific requirements demand enhanced
hold-up time or lower output ripple (low frequency ripple)
than specified for the individual AC-DC converters, both
basic back plane versions are available with additional out-
put capacitors.
Important: The neccessity to provide a cover over the
live parts at the mains input (High Voltage) or over the
DC bus bars (Energy Danger), preventing accidental
contact during installation, start-up of a system or main-
tenance, depends on the final installation as well as on
the applicable safety requirements. However, it is the re-
sponsibility of the installer or user to provide such a
safety cover to assure the compliance with the relevant
and applicable safety standards.

Functional Description
The back plane is divided into 3 sections, each one fitted
with an H15 female connector for one T unit, with the mains
input section and the DC output section separated from
each other.
The layout of the standard back planes gives the user the
flexibility to operate the system either in single phase or
in 3-phase (Y) configuration. Connection to the mains is
achieved via the 6-pole connector (X1). With the wire jump-
ers B10/20/30 in Y-position (standard configuration) each
T unit is connected between its defined input line and the
neutral. (Changing of the configuration by the customer is
not recommended.) An input filter, provided in the supply
line to each T unit minimizes the conducted noise at the in-
put of the system. The positive output of each T unit is
separately fed to the common power bus and is decoupled
depending upon the back plane type, either by a fuse (F11/
21/31) or by a decoupling diode (D11/21/31). The fuses
(cartridge type) are externally accessible from the frontside.
The BPF versions are fitted with a common preload (R25).
Additional output capacitors (up to 3 per output,10 mF
each) further reduce the low frequency output ripple and
provide enhanced hold-up time.
All relevant monitoring signals as well as control signal in-
puts and outputs are accessible at the signal terminal strip
(X5). The jumper strip (X3) allows system specific signals
according to different jumper settings. An auxilliary cir-
cuit (protected by a fuse F1, rated T1A, 250 V, 5 × 20 mm)
allows a relay to be directly driven for system specific con-
trol functions.
Each T unit provides an individually adjustable power down
signal enabling bus status monitoring at different voltage
levels. The threshold values can be set at the soldering tabs
D
set (R13/14, R23/24 and R33/34).
Note: If a power system is operated with 3 T units per back-
plane, connection to the mains in a 3-phase configuration
(Y or ) will provide equal load distribution on the input
lines. Furthermore the low frequency ripple at the output of
the T units is compensated to zero as long as all 3 T units
are in operation.

For LT units exclusively
The layout of the standard back planes also allows phase to
phase connection at low mains voltage 208 V e.g. USA, pro-
viding full output power from the LT units. In such cases one
of the two input lines (L1 or L2) should be connected to the
N-terminal at the AC input connector instead of the neutral
line. The neutral line is not connected. For safety reasons
an external fuse should be fitted in each input line. Connec-
tion to the ground is mandatory.

Mains Input Section
Connection to the Mains
Connection to the mains shall be made via the 6-pole screw
terminal connector (X1), located on the right hand side of
the back plane (view from the rear).
For single phase operation the terminals (L1, L2 and L3) at
the female connector X1 should be connected together.
The T-series has two AC input voltage ranges. The LT units
are optimized for the 230 V mains, the UT units for the
120 V mains. (See also:
T series
)

Single-phase/3-phase (Y) Configuration
Standard back plane version (Y-configuration)
The layout of the standard back planes allows operation of
the system either in single phase or in 3-phase (Y) configu-
ration. In both configurations each T unit on the back plane
is connected between its defined phase and neutral. For
single phase operation the AC-input terminals (L1, L2 and
L3) should be connected together at the female connector.
Connections to neutral and to ground are mandatory. (See
also fig.:

as well as fig.:

.) Equal load distribution on the input lines
at 3-phase configuration will compensate the low frequency
ripple at the output to zero.

Low mains 120/208 V
The input section of the 3 LT units is wired in a -connec-
tion enabling full output power of the LT units at low mains
input voltage 120/208 V.
Back planes in 3-phase () configuration are available on
request. Modifications to the back plane in the field from "Y"
to ""-configuration (and vice versa) are not recommended.
Maximum nominal input voltage: 230 Vrms + 10%, phase to

as the back plane. Connection to the mains should strictly
be done according to fig.:

Output Section
Power Bus
The back plane is fitted with a generously dimensioned bus
bar system. Each bus bar (4 mm thick Alu alloy profile, iden-
tified with its polarity) is fitted with 2 captive nuts (M 6) serv-
ing as connection points to the load as well as to the battery
system. Depending upon the application either the positive
or the negative pole of the battery may be earthed.
For application specific requirements such as reduced rip-
ple current, reduced low frequency ripple voltage, enhan-
ced hold-up time or heavy pulse loads, the back planes are
available with additional output capacitors (see table:
Type
Survey)
. The output capacitors are mounted between the
positive and the negative bus rails.
Front-end Version
To provide maximum system reliability especially with n+1
redundant systems, each positive output path is fitted with a
decoupling diode mounted onto the positive bus rail. The
diodes D11, D21 and D31 prevent a possible Power Down
on the power bus in the case of a short-circuit across the
output of one of the T units. To maintain the signalling func-
tions of the T unit(s) in the case of a single inhibit or a single
mains phase failure, a PTC in parallel to the decoupling di-
ode allows a small reverse current from the DC bus supply-
ing the control functions of the affected T unit.
Battery Charger Version
Direct battery charging or powering battery buffered sys-
tems require an adequate float charge voltage over the
specified temperature range. Decoupling diodes should be
avoided due to their voltage drop, affecting the float charge
voltage of the battery. To maintain system redundancy
adequatedly rated fuses (F11, F21 and F31, rated F20A
minimum, 250 V, 6.3 × 32 mm each) are mounted in each
positive output line. In the case of a short circuit across the
output of one of the T units the relevant fuse will blow, inter-
rupting the reverse short circuit current supplied by the bat-
tery and the remaining T units.
Power Down Signal (D1, D2, D3)
The power down signal monitors the voltage level of the bus
bar system. Depending upon the application it may be ad-
vantageous to use the power down signal D1 and D2 in a
redundant configuration and the third signal (D3) as a sepa-
rate warning signal at a higher threshold level. For such a
configuration the jumpers of X3 should be set in the posi-
tions D - D1 and D - D2. (See fig.:
Jumper strip (X3), Sig-
nal meshing.
)
For individual adjustment of the power down level see also:
System Integration
.
Inhibit
The output of a T unit may be enabled or disabled by the
inhibit input signal. Moreover the output voltage can be
controlled with an external temperature sensor connected
to this input. If just the inhibit function is used, the units can
be individually inhibited. If the output voltage is temperature
controlled the same sensor signal should control all units in
the rack and the jumpers of X3 should be set in all 3 inhibit
positions, i i1, i i2 and i i3 (See fig.:
Jumper strip
(X3), Signal meshing
).
System Good Signal (Sys In 1, 2, 3/Sys Out 1, 2, 3)
The System Good signal can be used either for status
monitoring of each individual T unit or as a combined signal
for status monitoring of the whole system. For overall sys-
tem status monitoring jumpers should be set in the posi-
tions Si1-So2, Si2-So3 (See fig.
Jumper strip (X3), Signal
meshing
).
The System Good input of the first T unit in a system (T3)
should be referenced to the negative output. This can be
done either on the jumper strip X3 with a jumper in position
-Si3 (See fig.:
Jumper strip (X3), Signal meshing.
) or
directly at the terminal strip X5, by connecting Sys In 3 to
Vo. (See also:
System Integration

Conducted Emission
The battery charger units can be operated in 3 different
modes, depending on the load:
Output voltage regulation
Output power limitation
Output current limitation
See also data sheet:
T series
.
In output voltage regulation mode, the conducted noise at
the input of the T units is below level B according to
CISPR 11/22/EN 55011/55022.
In output power and output current limitation mode, e.g. in
the case of charging heavily discharged batteries, the con-
ducted noise may be above level B, but below level A
Radiated Emission
To keep the radiated noise of the T units as low as possible
they should be mounted into a conductive chromatized 19
rack, fitted with front panels and the back plane earth con-
nected to the rack.
For integration into non-conductive 19" racks, special front
panels with conductive nuts are available on request.

Battery Selection
When selecting a battery, the following aspects should be
considered:
1. Batteries are normally specified at 20°C.
Steady operation at higher temperatures will shorten the
life time of a battery. For every 10 K temperature in-
crease the battery lifetime is halved.
2. Worst case considerations with regard to the necessary
battery capacity should include operation at the lowest
possible temperature and highest possible discharge
current, since under such conditions a substantial capac-
ity drop has to be expected.
3. The capacity of a battery deteriorates with time. There-
fore decisions on battery capacity should be based upon
20% ageing loss.
4. Consult the battery manufacturer for correct layout of the
battery system.
Selecting the Right Battery and Back Plane Configura-
tion
As mentioned in the T series data sheet the power factor
correction at the input of the T unit generates a ripple volt-
age at the output of twice the input frequency, causing a rip-
ple current into the connected battery.
For most battery types the low frequency ripple current
should not exceed 5 Arms per 100 Ah (0.05 C). Some manu-
facturers (with newer battery technology) specify 10 Arms
per 100 Ah (0.1 C).
Excessive ripple current can increase the battery tempera-
ture and reduces the battery lifetime. For a single phase
system additional output capacitors may be necessary de-
pending upon the selected battery type.
Note: With the T units symmetrically connected to a
3-phase (Y) mains supply the low frequency output ripple is
virtually zero, only a high frequency ripple and noise of
<100 mVpp at the switching frequency of 65.5 kHz remains.
System Integration
Mains Input Voltage Monitoring
The T unit interprets a mains failure as a system error, indi-
cated by the red Error LED together with a System Good
failure signal. Should a dedicated mains failure identifica-
tion be required this signal would have to be established ex-
ternally.
Available signals/signal combinations (Please also refer to
the:
T series
data sheet):
The T unit provides two open collector signals, System
Good and Power Down.
The System Good signal monitors the operational function
of a single T unit. In case of reduced available output power
due to a mains failure, a T unit failure or inhibit, the signal
changes from low to high impedance.
In systems with battery back-up or with n+1 redundancy the
failure of one single unit does not cause a failure of the sys-
tem as the required output power is still available either
from the battery or from the remaining T units. To indicate
the status of the whole system, the System Good signals of
all 3 units should be connected in series on the back plane.
The System Good output can be combined with similar out-
puts of other DC-DC converters such as CQ units, integrat-
ing the additional information into the overall system status
signal.
If only the system status of the T unit is to be monitored,
Sys In should be wired to Vo.
The Power Down signal monitors the output voltage level of
the bus bar system. The threshold levels of the 3 possible
signals can be individually adjusted by means of resistors
R 13/14...R 33/34 (see:
T series
data sheet) and be used
for:
Save data
Disconnecting the load or part of it
Performing a battery test
In systems with battery back-up it may be desirable to ex-
tend system operation in case of long term mains failures
by disconnecting an uncritical part of the load at a certain
bus voltage level, triggered by one of the 3 possible power
down signals. The 2 remaining signals can be set to the low
battery discharge level to get a redundant signal (wired
AND) for finally disconnecting the critical part of the load.
Note: The Power Down signal has an enlarged hysteresis
of approximately 6 V for T 1740 units and 3.5 V for T 1240
units.
The Power Down signal(s) can be combined with the Sys-
tem Good signal to give a wired AND (see:
T series
data
sheet). In such cases the resulting alarm only becomes ac-
tive as a result of a mains failure or a converter failure to-
gether with a heavily discharged battery.

The system resistance is the sum of the resistance of the
supply and the AC resistance of the battery.
The AC resistance is defined as the relationship between
the AC voltage and the AC current to the battery measured
with a capacitively coupled 100 Hz AC source.
In the example the system resistance is:

Installation Instruction
The BPD/BPF series back planes are components, in-
tended exclusively for inclusion within other equipment by
an industrial assembly operation or by professional install-
ers. Installation must strictly follow the national safety regu-
lations in compliance with the enclosure, mounting, creep-
age, clearance, casualty, markings and segregation re-
quirements of the end-use application. See also:
Technical
Information: Installation and Application.
Caution: It is the responsibility of the design engineer
and of the installer to define and apply a safety concept
for the whole system which is provided with a Power-
One back plane. The following are under the aspects
which have to be considered:
Consult the T-series AC-DC converters data sheet prior
to connecting the system to the mains.
The necessity to provide a cover over the live parts at the
mains input (hazardous voltage) or over the DC-bus bars
(energy hazard), preventing accidental contact during in-
stallation, start-up of a system or maintenance, depends
on the final installation as well as on the applicable safety
requirements.
Service should be carried out by qualified personnel only.
Fuses should be replaced with the same types only.
The earth terminal on the back plane must be connected
to safety ground.
Back planes in 3-phase () configuration are available on
request. Modifications to the back plane in the field from
"Y"- to ""-configuration (and vice versa) are not recom-
mended.
The maximum nominal input voltage is 230 Vrms +10%.
Higher input voltages may damage the Tseries AC-DC
converters as well as the back plane.
Empty spaces in a rack should be covered by a dummy
front panel.
Caution: Prior to handling, the back plane must be dis-
connected from mains and from other sources (e.g. bat-
teries). Check for hazardous voltages and hazardous
energy before and after altering any connections. Haz-
ardous energy levels may be present at the output termi-
nals even after the mains input voltage has been discon-
nected from the unit. This is indicated by the red error
LEDs of the Tseries AC-DC converters. It is the respon-
sibility of the installer to prevent an unwanted short-cir-
cuit across the output of the back plane, of the battery
and of each Tseries AC-DC converter. In case of a short
circuit across the output of a T unit, all LEDs will be off,
although the mains may be present.
The back planes are intended for stationary applications.
They shall be installed in 19’’ racks according to DIN 41494.
Install the back planes vertically, the mains input connector
X1 being on the right hand side of the back plane (view from
the back) and make sure that there is sufficient air flow
available for convection cooling of the T-series AC-DC con-
verters.
Mechanical fixing shall be made via 10 screws M2.5 × 10
and 10 nuts M2.5. When mounting a back plane to a rack,
fit two T units into the H 15 female connectors on the back
plane prior to fixing the back plane to the rack. This ensures
correct positioning of the female connectors on the back
plane with respect to the given position of the male connec-
tors of the T units in the rack. With the back plane improp-
erly positioned, the connectors of the T units and the female
connectors on the back plane may be damaged. In order to
maintain correct positioning, use all the available mounting
holes.
Connection to the supply system shall be made via the 6-
pole screw terminal connector X1 according to:
Connector
Pin Allocation
and
Mechanical Data.
The connector X1 of the back planes (class I equipment) is
provided with two protective earth terminals ( ), which are
reliably connected with the protective earth pins of the con-
nectors for the T units. For safety reasons it is essential to
connect at minimum one of these terminals with the protec-
tive earth of the supply system. Since the earth leakage
current exceeds 3.5 mA, the system must be permanently
connected or it must be pluggable equipment type B ac-
cording to IEC/EN 60950. The earth connection must be
performed before connecting the supply.
To maintain good electrical connection, the AC input, earth
and signal to the terminal strip wiring should be secured,
using tie wraps, to prevent stress upon the wires and the
connectors.
Refer to
Mains Input Section
to ensure that phase and neu-
tral configuration matches with the back plane and Tseries
AC-DC converter types. Wrong connection at the input may
damage the Tseries AC-DC converters as well as the back
plane. Standard back planes are designed for a 3-phase
system in Y connection with a phase to neutral voltage of
230 V or 120 V where connection to neutral is mandatory.
Integration into a 3-phase system in configuration (120/
208 V and without connection to neutral) is only possible
with LT AC-DC converters together with the special back
plane BPF 1037.
For safety reasons, a mains switch for line interruption is
required.
The back plane does not provide any input fuses. The input
fuses of the Tseries AC-DC converters in the connection
from the L terminal are designed to protect the units in case
of overcurrent and may not be able to satisfy all customer
requirements. An external input fuse suitable for the appli-
cation and in compliance with the local requirements in the
wiring to each phase and to the neutral terminal may there-
fore be necessary to ensure compliance with local require-
ments. A second fuse in the wiring to each input terminal is
needed if:
Standard back planes are used in phase to phase con-
figuration
Local requirements demand an individual fuse in each
source line
Neutral to earth impedance is high or undefined
Phase and neutral of the mains are not defined or cannot
be assigned to the corresponding terminals (L to phase
and N to neutral).
Important: Do not open the modules, or guarantee will
be invalidated.

Additional Information for Installation of Battery
Charger Systems:
Reverse polarity connection of the battery may damage the
battery, the back plane(s) and the battery chargers.
Prior to putting a system into operation, check whether the
position of the cell voltage selector switch of each Tseries
AC-DC converter corresponds to the required battery cell
voltage.
For battery maintenance please contact the battery manu-
facturer.
Exchanging a battery should always include the whole bat-
tery bank. New batteries should be of the same type, with
the same cell voltage and temperature coefficient.
For expansion of battery systems contact the battery manu-
facturer.
For battery location and connection please refer to VDE
0510, part 2.
In battery charger systems, safety standards demand that a
battery can be completely disconnected from the power
system including the battery system ground. Depending
upon the project specific requirements, disconnecting may
either occur by a manually operated switch with fuses, or
automatically by means of a circuit breaker.
Caution: Care should be taken during system set-up or
after maintenance when connecting a battery to the
power bus of a back plane (BPF types) fitted with fuses.
The Tseries AC-DC converter system with the back
planes should be switched to the mains prior to connect-
ing the battery to the power bus, since the reverse cur-
rent from the battery into the uncharged output capaci-
tors of the T units and the back plane may damage the
fuses.
Make sure that there is sufficient air flow available for con-
vection cooling. This should be verified by measuring the
case temperature of each Tseries AC-DC converter when
the complete back plane is installed and operated in the
end-use application. The maximum specified case tem-
perature
T
C max of the Tseries AC-DC converters must not
be exceeded
.
Ensure that a unit failure (e.g. by an internal short-circuit)
does not result in a hazardous condition. See also:

be repeated in the field. Power-One will not honour any
guarantee claims resulting from electric strength field tests.
The electric strength test is performed as factory test in ac-
cordance with IEC/EN 60950 and UL 1950. Nor this test nor
the insulation resistance measuring should be repeated in

resulting from field tests with high voltages.
Important: The backplane must carry the safety covers,
which prevent from touching conductive parts. Such
covers are mounted on both sides of the printed circuit
board and over the bus bars. Removing the protection
covers will provoke danger of high voltage or high en-
ergy impact! Testing by applying AC voltages will result
in high and dangerous leakage currents flowing through
the Y-capacitors (see fig.:

Leakage Currents in AC-DC operation
Leakage currents flow due to internal leakage capacitance
and RFI suppression Y-capacitors. The current values are
proportional to the mains voltage and nearly proportional to
the mains frequency. They are specified at the maximum
operating input voltage, where phase, neutral and protec-
tive earth are correctly connected as required for class I
equipment.
Under test conditions, the leakage current flows through a
measuring instrument (MI) as described in fig.:
Measuring
instrument for earth leakage current tests
, which takes into
account impedance and sensitivity of a person touching
unearthed accessible parts. The current value is calculated
by dividing the measured voltage by 500 . If inputs and/or
outputs of back planes are connected in parallel, their indi-
vidual leakage currents are added.
