Introduction

Overview

The rectifiers provide load power, battery float current, and battery recharge current during normal operating conditions. The rectifiers are a constant power design. The rectifiers are rated at their maximum output power. This means that, within the normal operating ambient temperature range and input voltage range, the maximum output power available is a constant 2500W (R24-2500) or 3000W (R24-3000). Within these ranges, the rectifier operates in one of three modes, depending upon load demands.
the transition between modes is completely automatic. If ambient temperature rises above or input voltage falls below acceptable values, rectifiers continue to operate but at derated output power levels.

• Constant Voltage Mode: For any initial output voltage setting from 23.5 to 28.5 volts, the output voltage remains constant regardless of load. This is the normal operating condition, in which loads are supplied and batteries are float charged.
  Rectifiers operate in the Constant Voltage Mode unless loading increases to the point where the product of load current and the output voltage is approximately 2500W (R24- 2500) or 3000W (R24-3000).

• Constant Power Mode: As load increases above approximately 2500W (R24-2500) or 3000W (R24-3000) (non-adjustable), output current continues to increase, but output voltage decreases as required to maintain constant output power. Rectifiers operate in the Constant Power Mode unless load continues to increase to the point where the current limit setting is reached.

• Constant Current Mode: If the load increases to the current limit setting, the output voltage decreases linearly to maintain output current at the current limit setting.

Specifications

DC Output Ratings

• Voltage: Nominal +24 volts DC, Negative Ground. Output voltage is adjustable from 23.50 to 28.50 volts DC via the associated controller.

• Current (One 2500W Rectifier Module): 87.7A at 28.5VDC to 104.2A at 24.0VDC.

• Current (One 3000W Rectifier Module): 105.3A at 28.5VDC to 125.0A at 24.0VDC.

• Power (One Rectifier Module): 2500W or 3000W at Vout ≥24VDC.

• Output Characteristics: The relationship between the output voltage and current is depicted graphically in the following illustrations.
  

• Power Derating Based on Input Voltage: The rectifier can provide maximum rated power (2500W or 3000W) as long as the input voltage is within the range of 180 to 275  VAC. From 180 VAC to 90 VAC, the rectifier will continue to operate, but maximum power is reduced. The relationship between the output power and the input voltage is illustrated below.
  

• Power Derating Based on Temperature: Each rectifier continuously monitors the ambient temperature surrounding the power conversion circuit. If this temperature for any reason (such as a high ambient temperature or failed fan) 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°F) and +65°C (149°F)  will result in the output power being decreased linearly to 80% of full rated power at +65°C (149°F). Full power capability is restored when the temperature decreases to below approximately +50°C (+122°F). Refer to the following curve illustrating typical operating parameters.
  

WARNING! The module is rated for continuous operation at full output power up to +50°C (+122°F). Operation between +50°C (+122°F) and +65°C (+149°F) will result in output power decrease. Operation above +65°C (+149°F) is considered abnormal and should be used on a temporary¹ basis 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. (This refers to a total of 120 hours in any given year, but no more than 15 occurrences in that one-year period.)

Regulation:
a) Static: Steady-state regulation is ±0.5% as controlled within the rectifier for any and all combinations of load from no load to full load, input voltage, and input frequency at a  constant ambient temperature. The associated system controller may provide improved regulation.
b) Dynamic Load: For any step load change within the range of 10% to 90% of full load within 50 microseconds, per Telcordia GR-947-CORE, the maximum voltage transient will not exceed ±5% of the initial steady-state voltage within 250 microseconds. Recovery to within 1% of the initial steady-state voltage does not exceed 4 milliseconds.
c) Dynamic Line: Any step change of line voltage within the specified operating range shall not cause the output voltage to deviate outside the ±0.5% regulation band.

Filtering (with or without battery): Typical readings were taken at nominal input voltage, nominal output voltage, 50% load, and 25°C (77°F) ambient.
a) Voice Band Noise: Complies with Telcordia GR-947-CORE.
1. Typically 30 are born with C-message weighting. Does not exceed 32 dBm C.
2. Typically 0.6 millivolt psychometric. Does not exceed 1 millivolt psychometric.
b) Wide Band Noise: Complies with Telcordia GR-947-CORE.
1. Typically 80 millivolts peak-to-peak. Does not exceed 250 millivolts peak- to-peak.
2. Typically 6.3 millivolts rms. Does not exceed 50 millivolts rms.

AC Input Ratings

• Voltage:
  a) Normal: Nominal 208-240 volts AC, single phase, 50/60 Hz, with an operating range of 180 to 264 volts. The acceptable
  input frequency range is 47 to 65 Hz.
  b) Reduced Output: The rectifier operates and provides reduced output power from 180 to 90 volts.
  c) Extended: The rectifier operates safely to 275 volts AC.
  d) Safe Voltage: The rectifier tolerates 300 volts AC without damage.

• Harmonic Content: Meets EN 61000-3-2.

• Inrush Current: Peak does not exceed 2 times the RMS input current at full load, nominal input voltage, and for any duration of AC input interrupts. Under the above conditions, standard AC distribution circuit breakers will not trip.

• Surge Protection: Compliance with EN61000-4-5 Installation Class 4, and capable of withstanding surges per ANSI/IEEE C 62.41 1980 Category B3 across the input terminals.
  NOTE! This level of protection is a widely used standard for telecommunications power equipment. As with all such equipment, it is the end user’s responsibility to provide an adequately sized Surge Suppression Device at the commercial power service entrance of the building that reduces all incoming surges to levels below the classes/categories stated for the equipment.

• Ventilation Requirements: The rectifier is fan-cooled and utilizes front-to-back forced ventilation. A rectifier must be mounted so ventilating openings are not blocked and the temperature of the air entering the rectifier does not exceed the Operating Ambient Temperature Range stated above.

• Single Rectifier Audible Noise: The audible noise at any point two feet from any vertical surface of a Rectifier Mounting Shelf (with one rectifier installed and fans operating) does not exceed the following limits. The audible noise was measured with the fan control circuit enabled. A Sound Level Meter conforming to ANSI S1.4 was used.

Compliance Information

• Safety Compliance: This unit meets the requirements of UL 60950-1, Standard for Information Technology Equipment, and is UL Recognized as a power supply for use in  Telephone, Electronic Data Processing, or Information Processing Equipment.
  This unit meets the requirements of CAN/CSA 22.2, No. 60950-00 and is tested and certified by UL (“c UR”) as a Component Type Power Supply.

• The rectifier is RoHS 5/6 compliant.

• NEBS Compliance (when used in a compliant system): Compliance verified by a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL) per GR-1089-CORE and GR-63- CORE. Contact Vertiv for NEBS compliance reports.

Standard Features

• Type of Power Conversion Circuit: High frequency.

• Constant Voltage Mode: For any initial output voltage setting from 23.5 to 28.5 volts, the output voltage remains constant regardless of load. This is the normal operating condition, in which loads are supplied and batteries are float charged.
  Rectifiers operate in the Constant Voltage Mode unless load increases to the point where the product of load current and the output voltage is approximately 2500W (R24- 2500) or 3000W (R24-3000).

• Constant Power Mode: As load increases above approximately 2500W (R24-2500) or 3000W (R24-3000) (non-adjustable), output current continues to increase, but output voltage decreases as required to maintain constant output power. Rectifiers operate in the Constant Power Mode unless load continues to increase to the point where the current limit setting is reached.

• Constant Current Mode: If the load increases above the current limit setting, the output voltage decreases linearly to maintain output current at the current limit.

• Input Protection:
  a) Fusing: The rectifier contains double-pole/neutral fusing (non user- replaceable). The customer is to provide AC input branch circuit protection.
  b) Low Input Voltage: The rectifier shuts down and its protection indicator (yellow) illuminates if input voltage decreases below 85VAC. The rectifier automatically restarts when the input voltage returns to within the normal operating range.
  A low input voltage condition does not trip the recommended input protection device.
  c) High Input Voltage: The rectifier shuts down and its protection indicator (yellow) illuminates if input voltage increases above 280VAC. The rectifier automatically restarts when the input voltage returns to within the normal operating range.
  d) Power Interruption: Interruption and restoration of input power does not affect the proper operation of the controls, alarm signals, or visual indicators. On the restoration of input power, the rectifier automatically restarts without manual intervention and without operating protective devices, even if connected to a completely discharged battery string or capacitor bank.

• Output Protection:
  a) Current Limiting: The maximum current delivered by the rectifier can be programmed from 10% to 120% of full load rating via the controller. If communication to the controller is lost, the rectifier default value is 121% of the full load rating.
  Full load rating for rectifier is defined as the maximum current available over the entire output voltage range (88A for R24-2500, 104A for R24-3000). The rectifier can start when connected to a completely discharged battery or capacitor bank without operating rectifier protective devices or needing any manual intervention.
  b) Fusing: The rectifier contains an output fuse (non-user-replaceable). Rectifier output power is lost and its fault indicator (red) illuminates if the output fuse opens The rectifier can be plugged into or pulled out of a shelf while operating, without damage or opening the fuse.
  c) High Voltage Shutdown:
  1. Adjustable Control: If the rectifier output voltage exceeds an adjustable preset value and the rectifier is delivering more than 10% of its rated current, the rectifier shuts down. (Adjustable from 24.00 VDC to 29.75 VDC via the controller. The restart hysteresis is 0.5 V ±0.2 V.)
  The rectifier then restarts and an HVSD restart timer starts (time value configurable via the controller, the factory default is 5 minutes). If output voltage again exceeds the high voltage shutdown value before the HVSD restart timer expires, the rectifier shuts down and locks out. A manual restart is then required (by turning power to the rectifier off or by removing the rectifier, waiting until the LEDs on the rectifier extinguish, then turning power to the rectifier on or re-inserting the rectifier). If the rectifier does not experience a high voltage condition before the HVSD restart timer expires, the restart circuit is reset.
  If two or more rectifiers are paralleled, only the rectifier causing the high voltage condition shuts down.
  2. Backup: If the rectifier’s output voltage exceeds 31.0 V ±0.5 V (non- adjustable) and the rectifier is delivering more than 10% of its rated current, the rectifier shuts down. The rectifier then restarts and an HVSD restart timer starts (time value configurable via the controller, the factory default is 5 minutes). If output voltage again exceeds the high voltage shutdown value before the HVSD restart timer expires, the rectifier shuts down and locks out. A manual restart is then required (by turning power to the rectifier off or by removing the rectifier, waiting until the LEDs on the rectifier extinguish, then turning power to the rectifier on or re-inserting the rectifier).

• Over-Temperature Protection: The rectifier provides over-temperature protection by derating output power and recovers automatically.

• Hot Swappable: The rectifier is designed to be plug-and-play. The rectifier can be inserted or removed from a live DC power system with no damage. When the rectifier is  plugged into the system, the system output voltage will not be affected.

• Power Factor Correction Failure: If the power factor correction circuit fails and results in over/low DC bus voltage, the rectifier shuts down and its protection indicator  (yellow) illuminates.

• Rectifier Module DC/DC Converter Failure: If the rectifier’s DC/DC converter fails, the rectifier shuts down and the fault indicator (red) illuminates.

• Rectifier Module Load Sharing (per Bay): The rectifier shares load with other like rectifiers operating in parallel on one CAN communications bus to within ±3% of the ratings of the rectifiers when between 10%~100% load (maximum 28 rectifiers).
  If R24-2500 and R24-3000 rectifiers are operating in the same system, they will share the load at the ratio of their output power ratings.

• Startup Time: The rectifier has two startup modes.
  a) Normal Startup:
  – Start time, defined as beginning at AC input being applied and ending when full output power has been reached, consists of two-time intervals, the delay period, and the output voltage ramp-up period.
  – During the delay period the output voltage will be zero.
  – Start-up time (from AC on until full power): ≤ 5 seconds.
  – Output voltage ramp-up period, t: 50 ≤ t ≤ 150 ms. (10% to 90% of full power) (if the walk-in feature is disabled).
  – The rise time is retained with a DC load of 0.31 Ohm (+24.0VDC & 87.7A).
  – The rectifier will not suffer any damage when subjected to repetitive AC voltage on/off operations.
  b) Output Voltage Walk-In: Meets Telcordia GR-947-CORE, R3-19. Output voltage gradually increases after AC service is supplied or restored. Ramp-up time is settable via the controller. The controller can enable/disable this feature.

• Cooling: Each rectifier contains two fans for forced convection cooling.
  a) Fan Fault Protection: The rectifier shuts down and its fault indicator (red) flashes if either fan fails. Fan failure is detected and reported to the controller. The fans are field replaceable.
  b) Fan Control: Fan speed is continuously variable. When the input voltage is within normal range, the built-in processor adjusts fan speed according to the rectifier’s internal temperature and output power. For example, a higher temperature or output power increases the fan speed. Fan speed control can be disabled by the controller.

• Communication Failure: The rectifier’s protection indicator (yellow) will flash should it experience a communication failure.
  The failure information will be reported to the controller and the controller will process the failure accordingly. During a communication failure, in order to protect the battery, the rectifier output voltage will automatically be adjusted as follows.
  – The rectifier default factory output voltage is 27.24V.
  – Once power is applied to the rectifier and the rectifier is recognized by the controller, the output voltage is updated to the setting programmed into the controller.
  – If communications with a SCU+ controller are lost, the rectifier output voltage goes to a default value programmed into the controller (this is a separate programmable parameter from the output voltage setting).
  – If communications with an ACU+ or NCU controller are lost, the rectifier output voltage goes to the last communicated float output voltage setting in the controller (the last communicated float output voltage setting is stored in the rectifier).
  – The rectifier will revert to normal operation once normal communication to the controller is restored.

• Output Current Imbalance:
  a) When the average current of all rectifiers is greater than 20% of full rated current, and the difference between local rectifier current and average current is greater than  16% of full rated current, the yellow protection indicator will illuminate.
  b) When the average current of all rectifiers is greater than 20% of full rated current, and local rectifier current is less than 2% of full rated current, then the red fault indicator will illuminate.

• Paralleling: This rectifier may be connected in parallel with any rectifier of the same polarity and adjusted to the same output voltage.

• Monitoring Function: The rectifier has a built-in advanced DSP (Digital Signal Processor) that monitors and controls the operation of the rectifier. The DSP also communicates with the associated system controller in real-time through the CAN bus. Table 1.1 lists the different commands and information exchanged between the rectifier and the controller.

• External Control Circuits: Provided via the associated controller. Refer to the separate Power System documentation for a complete description of available external control circuits.

• External Alarm Circuits: Provided via the associated controller. Refer to the separate Power System documentation for a description of available external alarms.

Installing Rectifier Modules

The rectifier is hot-swappable. It can be installed with the system operating.
WARNING! To prevent damage to the latching mechanism, ensure the handle is in the open position when installing or removing a rectifier. NEVER hold the handle in the closed position when installing a rectifier into a shelf.
Procedure

1. Place the module into an unoccupied mounting slot without sliding it in completely.
2. Loosen the captive screw on the module handle. Pull the handle to pivot it out of the module front panel (this will also retract the latch mechanism located at the right side of the module). Refer to Figure 2.2 for latch mechanism illustration.
3. Push the rectifier completely into the shelf.
4. Push the handle into the front panel of the module. Tighten the captive screw on the handle. This will lock the module securely to the shelf.
5. Repeat the above steps for each rectifier being installed in the system.
6. After the rectifiers are physically installed in the mounting shelf(s), they are ready for operation immediately after power is supplied to them.
7. Certain functions (i.e. rectifier current limit, rectifier addressing) may require adjustment when adding or replacing a rectifier.
   Refer to the Power System documentation for instructions.

Troubleshooting and Repair

Troubleshooting
Rectifier Current Sharing Imbalance

When multiple rectifiers are operating in parallel and load is 10%-100%, then if the current sharing imbalance among them is greater than +/-3A of the average rectifier current,  check if the rectifier is properly seated in the shelf.
If the current sharing imbalance still persists following the verification suggested above, replace the rectifier exhibiting the current imbalance.

Rectifier Module Fault Symptoms and Troubleshooting
The fault indicators that can be displayed by the rectifier are as follows. Refer to Table 3.1 for a list of possible causes and corrective actions.

Replacement Procedures

Rectifier Module Replacement
DANGER! Take care when removing a rectifier module that was in operation, as rectifier module surfaces could be very hot.
WARNING! To prevent damage to the latching mechanism, ensure the handle is in the open position when installing or removing a rectifier. NEVER hold the handle in the closed position when installing a rectifier into a shelf.

The rectifier is hot-swappable. It can be removed and installed with the system operating.

Procedure

1. Performing this procedure may activate external alarms. Do one of the following. If possible, disable these alarms. If these alarms cannot be easily disabled, notify the appropriate personnel to disregard any alarms associated with this system while this procedure is performed.

2. Loosen the captive screw on the module handle. Pull the handle to pivot it out of the module front panel (this will also retract the latch mechanism located at the right side of the module). Refer to Figure 2.2 for latch mechanism illustration.

3. Grasp the handle and pull firmly to remove the module from the shelf.

4. Place the replacement Rectifier Module into the mounting position without sliding it in completely.

5. Loosen the captive screw on the module handle. Pull the handle to pivot it out of the module front panel (this will also retract the latch mechanism located at the right side of the module). Refer to Figure 2.2 for latch mechanism illustration.

6. Push the rectifier completely into the shelf.

7. Push the handle into the front panel of the module. Tighten the captive screw on the handle. This will lock the module securely to the shelf.

8. Certain functions (i.e. rectifier current limit, rectifier addressing) may require adjustment when adding or replacing a rectifier.
   Refer to the Power System documentation for instructions.

9. After the Rectifiers are physically installed in the mounting shelf(s), they are ready for operation immediately after power is supplied to them. Verify that the Rectifiers are operating normally.

10. Enable the external alarms, or notify appropriate personnel that this procedure is finished.

11. Ensure that there are no local or remote alarms active on the system.

Rectifier Module Fan Replacement
Each rectifier uses two fans (P/N 32010480) for cooling. If fan replacement should become necessary, perform the following procedure. It is recommended that both fans in the rectifier be replaced at the same time.
Refer to Figure 3.1 as this procedure is performed.

WARNING! In a system with NO redundant rectifier, the battery must have sufficient reserve to power the load(s) while the rectifier is removed for fan replacement.
NOTE! When performing any step in this procedure that requires the removal of existing hardware, retain all hardware for use in subsequent steps.

Procedure

1. Performing this procedure may activate external alarms. Do one of the following. If possible, disable these alarms. If these alarms cannot be easily disabled, notify the appropriate personnel to disregard any alarms associated with this system while this procedure is performed.

2. Remove the rectifier from the shelf. Refer to the previous procedure for step-by-step instructions.

3. Place the rectifier on a static-safe work surface. Connect an approved grounding strap to your wrist for the remainder of this procedure.

4. Remove the four (4) faceplate mounting screws shown in Figure 3.1 from the rectifier. Remove the faceplate.

5. For proper orientation of the new fan(s), observe the location of the fan wires and the airflow arrows on the old fan(s).

6. Carefully pull the fan(s) out from the rectifier, until the fan power cable(s) can be accessed.

7. Unplug the fan power cable(s) from the connector(s) on the PC board, and remove the fan(s).

8. Plug the power cable(s) of the replacement fan(s) into the connector(s) on the PC board.

9. Place the new fan(s) in the space vacated by the old fan(s) (ensure the fan wires and airflow arrows match the orientation of the old fan), and plug it into the rectifier.

10. Replace the faceplate on the rectifier. Note that each fan has four holes in the front corners and that the faceplate has four tabs per fan. When replacing the faceplate, align the fan holes with the faceplate tabs. Ensure that no fan wiring is pinched.
    Secure faceplate with the four (4) previously removed screws.

11. Replace the rectifier with the shelf. Refer to the previous procedure for step-by-step instructions.

12. When the fans start, check to ensure that each is providing front-to-back airflow. If air direction is wrong, immediately remove the rectifier from the shelf. Repeat previous steps to check fan orientation, and correct as necessary. Reinstall the rectifier and again check for proper airflow.

13. Enable the external alarms, or notify appropriate personnel that this procedure is finished.

14. Ensure that there are no local or remote alarms active on the system.
