1 Function
This unit converts the 115 V AC mains voltage to the 48 V DC battery voltage. Part of the
output power is intended for floating and charging a battery which provides for the power
in case of mains failure.
This board is intended to be used in combination with an RPGA board (3AL 43050). The
AC/DC convertor will provide the -48 V on the backpanel. The RPGA board will provide
the +5 V and the -5 V power supplies and the ringing current.

If ringing current is not required, then the RPGA board is not required if an
NOTICE AC/DC converter 3AL 42929 is being used. This board will then provide the +5
V and the -5 V power supplies.

2 Output Voltage
The value of the -48V output voltage can be controlled as a function of the ambient
temperature of the battery in order to meet the voltage/temperature characteristic of the
battery (shown below).

4 End of Discharge
To prevent battery damage, an EOD unit (End Of Discharge) unit is mounted to switch
between battery charging and subrack fed by battery.

This EOD unit drives a switch that shall be equipped in a separate module in between the
battery and the system in order to switch off the battery from the load in case of
overdischarge of the battery at a mains failure. The control for switching off this end of
discharge switch shall be done inside the converter, giving the appropriate signal to the
switchmodule via a front connector.

Be sure never to interrupt the safety ground when the AC/DC converter is
connected to the AC mains source.
Before removing the AC/DC converter from the subrack, interrupt the AC mains
voltage and wait for at least 4 minutes to allow the discharging of the internal
WARNING capacitors before handling the unit.
All adjustments, replacements, repairs,... should be carried out by a qualified
person, aware of the hazards involved, with the converter completely
disconnected from the AC power source.

Each time a corrective action has been realized and the normal operation of
ATTENTION the AC/DC converter has to be verified, the converter has to be restarted by
switching off the AC mains or by removing the AC mains supply voltage for at
least 30 s and reactivating or reconnecting it.

6 Operational data
AC mains input:

input voltage:
 nominal: 115 V
 minimum: 85 V
 maximum: 132 V

input frequency: 47 to 63 Hz

the converter is switched off in case of input undervoltage
DC output:

output voltage: -48V + 10 V

maximum load: 3 A

overcurrent protection (current limiting): between 3,15 and 3,75 A

overvoltage protection (converter switched off): -59 V maximum

undervoltage alarm: between -33 and -37 V

efficiency: 83 % at maximum load

parallel operation of the converters is possible (output via separation diodes)
End of discharge protection:

V battery switch-off:
 V minimum: -42 V
 V maximum: -44 V
An alarm signal is generated in the following cases:

input undervoltage (the converter is switched off)

output overvoltage (the converter is switched off)

output undervoltage (the converter is not switched off)

7 Front indications

AC: green LED, indicating the normal functioning of the unit;

AL: red LED, indicating an alarm situation on the unit.
