SD39PSR-1 INTRODUCTION
1.0 INTRODUCTION
This Instruction provides installation information for the following APACS+ hardware:
• Section 5, Model Designation - Provides Model Designation and tables of attachments and replacement
power supply assemblies.
The Power Supply Rack (POWERAC) is a rack-mounted power supply capable of distributing 24 Vdc
operating power to APACS+ and QUADLOG modules through the backplane of a MODULRAC or
SIXRAC. POWERAC versions are available that can typically support two and four MODULRACs or
SIXRACs. See Figures 1-1 and 1-2 for diagrams of POWERAC.
POWERAC consists of a power supply assembly mounted to an "L" bracket that is attached to a rack mount
panel. The panel can be mounted to standard 19 inch cabinet rails. A termination board mounted adjacent to
the power supply facilitates AC and DC power connections. The board provides the following:

Refer to Table 1-2 for an explanation of ISO (International Standards Organization) and IEC (International
Electrotechnical Commision) symbols that, when appropriate, are prominently displayed on the surfaces of
hardware. The symbols are also used in instructions to denote CAUTION and WARNING notes.
2.0 INSTALLATION
This section describes POWERAC installation considerations, quantity selection, AC power requirements,
and mechanical and electrical installation.
The installation must be in accordance with the National Electrical Code and all other applicable construction
and electrical codes
Some installations of POWERACs may require adherence to the European Union’s Electromagnetic
Compatibility (EMC) Directive. Refer to the “Declaration of Conformity” statement at the back of this
Instruction that lists the certificate number of the Technical Construction File issued to the
APACS+/QUADLOG POWERAC. Compliance with the Directive requires the following:
• APACS+ and QUADLOG systems must use enclosures having sufficient RF attenuation.
• AC power input conductors to the enclosure must be filtered.
• MODULBUS (M-BUS) cables that enter or exit the enclosure must be filtered.
• The “shield” of all shielded cables that exit the enclosure must be connected to the enclosure.
Consult the factory for additional information concerning EMC Directive installation and the availability of
enclosures and needed hardware.
CAUTION
If POWERAC is used in a manner not specified by Siemens, the protection
provided by POWERAC may be impaired.
• It is highly recommended that POWERAC receive AC operating power via a P/N 16114-65 115
Vac Power Distribution Assembly (PDA). A 230 Vac version (P/N 16114-131) of the PDA is also
available. The PDA features a Lever Fuse Holder terminal block with a 30 A fuse to protect the
power source. When the lever is rotated, the fuse is rotated, disconnecting the fuse from both fuse
contacts. This permits POWERAC to be manually disconnected from the AC input line.
Refer to the PDA Installation and Service Instruction (SD39PDA-1) to determine the number of
PDA’s required to suppport the total number of POWERACs used.
• If a PDA is not used, then POWERAC must receive AC operating power from a local circuit
breaker panel. The AC line providing power to POWERAC must contain:
- A 30 A or smaller fuse or circuit breaker
- A switch or circuit breaker to disconnect POWERAC from the line
3. Refer to section 2.2 to determine the number of POWERACS needed to meet the DC power requirements
for each MODULRAC/SIXRAC/Remote I/O Rack in the system. Typically, Model 39PSR4ANDN can
support four racks. Model 39PSR2ANCN can support two racks.
4. Redundant racks will need redundant POWERACs. Redundancy requires separate AC power input
sources.
5. Determine the number of cabinets needed to house the required number of POWERACs. Up to four
POWERACs can be mounted in a single MODULPAC 1000 enclosure. Refer to Figure 2-1 for
POWERAC mounting alternatives. Refer to the MODULPAC 2000 Instruction (SD39MODULPAC-2)
for POWERAC mounting information.
6. Calculate the total heat dissipated by the equipment and determine if cabinet cooling is required to
maintain specified operating temperature.
7. If the temperature exceeds that specified for POWERAC or any device installed, take steps to decrease
the temperature. For example, if POWERAC is sharing a cabinet with a MODULRAC or user-supplied
equipment, add a roof fan.
CAUTION
A calculation is performed to select the needed quantity of POWERACS. It should be carefully performed to
ensure a reliable source of 24 Vdc to the involved APACS+ MODULRACs/SIXRACs/Remote I/O Racks..
• User documentation listing the type of module (e.g., HFM, ACM, CAM, CDM, CCM) occupying each
slot in the involved racks.
• An Installation and Service Instruction for each type of installed module. The module's Instruction
specifies its maximum steady state DC operating current. This is also available on a label on the module.
IMPORTANT
1. Refer to user documentation and record the module types and quantities (e.g., CCM, 1; LIM, 1; CDM,
4; SAM, 4) installed in each rack to be powered by POWERAC.
2. Refer to the Specifications section of the Installation and Service Instruction for each module and record
its DC steady state current.
IMPORTANT
HART Fieldbus Modules (HFM) can have two values of DC input current:
• HFM supplying power to transmitters.
• HFM not supplying power to transmitters.
Refer to user documentation to determine transmitter power source.
3. Refer to Equation 1, below, to calculate the number of POWERACS needed to power the modules in the
involved racks. When more than one POWERAC is connected to a rack, each installed POWERAC will
supply a portion of the total current drawn by all the modules.
For example, if three racks draw 12A and two POWERACs are connected to all three racks, then each
POWERAC will contribute approximately 6A. If a third POWERAC is connected to each rack, then
each POWERAC will contribute approximately 4A.
As shown in Figure 4-1, the sharing of current between multiple POWERACs is accomplished by diode
"OR-ing" of a module's A, B, and C power buses.
IT
PR = -----
IP
Equation 1 Definitions:
PR = Minimum number of POWERACS required to power the MODULRACS. A fractional value must
be rounded up to the next whole number.
IP = Selected by the user. IP is the maximum continuous DC output current from the POWERAC for a
given ambient temperature. Refer to section 6.0 for the output current and temperature specifications
for the model POWERAC being used. It is recommended that an ambient temperature of 60EC
(140EF) be selected as being the most probable cabinet internal temperature.
IT = The total steady state DC current draw, in amperes, of the racks being powered by the POWERAC.
The maximum permitted current draw per rack is 12.0A.
| Example Calculation
How many model 39PSR4ANDN POWERACs are required to power four MODULRACs containing the
following modules?
This example indicates that one 39PSR4NDN alone is not sufficient to power all four MODULRACs; two
are required. In this case, each POWERAC would be connected to two MODULRACs. Alternatively, one
39PSR4NDN could be connected to three MODULRACs and one 39PSR2NCN connected to the fourth
MODULRAC.
If redundancy is needed, then three 39PSR4NDN POWERACs would be connected to the three (A, B, and C)
DC power buses of all four MOULRACs. The total system current of 21.47A would be shared by the three
POWERACs (7.15 each). Should a POWERAC fail, the remaining two POWERACs could safely supply the
required current (10.7A each).
Each model POWERAC is identified by a label located on the lower edge of the panel below the power
supply's "L" mounting bracket. The information provided is shown on the sample labels shown below.

• Many industrial environments create severe operating conditions. The conditions at each PSR location
must be within the environmental specifications stated in section 6.0.
CAUTION
Exceeding the specified operating temperature and humidity limits may cause
damage. Air temperature should be checked periodically to ensure that this
specification is not being exceeded.
• To maximize reliable performance, locate a POWERAC as far as possible from sources of interference,
such as high current electrical equipment, that radiate strong electromagnetic fields and switching
transients.
• Industrial environments often contain particulate, liquid, and gaseous contaminants. Particulate matter,
usually dust and dirt, is abrasive and can cause intermittent contact in connectors associated with
marshalled termination assemblies. Liquid and gaseous contaminants can have a deteriorating effect on
metal, rubber, plastics, and the contacts of cable connectors. Extended exposure to this environment may
result in equipment malfunction.
The following subsections provide information of interest to shipping, receiving, and warehouse personnel.
A POWERAC that will be installed by the user is inspected by the factory. If POWERAC is ordered factory-
installed in MODULPAC or another enclosure and is included in a factory integration program, POWERAC
is inspected and tested as part of the APACS+ or QUADLOG system to ensure proper operation.
POWERACs to be installed by the user are placed in protective material and packaged for shipment. User-
specified equipment and accessories are packaged separately.
All cartons should be inspected at the time of their delivery for possible external damage. Any visible
damage should be immediately recorded on the carrier's copy of the delivery slip.
Each carton should be carefully unpacked and its contents checked against the enclosed packing list. At the
same time, each item should be inspected for hidden damage that may or may not have been accompanied by
exterior carton damage.
If it is found that some items have been damaged or are missing, notify Siemens immediately and provide full
details. In addition, damages must be reported to the carrier with a request for their on-site inspection of the
damaged item and its shipping carton.
Depending on your location, use one fo the following methods for returning your shipment.
To return shipment, call the Repair Order Group at +215 646-7400, ext. 4RMA 4762, weekdays between
8:00 a.m. and 4:45 p.m. eastern time to obtain an RMA number. Mark the RMA number prominently on the
outside of the return shipment.
When calling for an RMA number, provide the reason for the return. If returning equipment for repair,
failure information (e.g. error code, failure symptom, installation environment) will be requested. Supply a
purchase order number for repairs.
A Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) must be included with each item being returned that was stored or
used anywhere hazardous materials were present.
Package assembly in original shipping materials; otherwise, package it for safe shipment or contact the
factory for shipping recommendations. A module must be placed in a static shielding bag to protect if from
electrostatic discharge.
Contact the appropriate Siemens subsidiary for return of shipment. When contacting, provide the reason for
the return and for repairs, supply a purchase order number. Also request equipment packaging and shipping
instructions.
No special handling procedures are required during POWERAC installation or removal. A spare power
supply should be stored in a protective bag.
The environmental storage temperature and humidity parameters in section 6.0 must be met for storage of
POWERAC.
This section provides installation procedures for mounting POWERAC in MODULPAC or a user-supplied
cabinet with 19-inch mounting rails.
Refer to Figures 1-1 and 2-1 for the following mounting procedure.
1. Get four M5-12mm screws from the hardware kit (PN 16114-72) supplied with each POWERAC.
2. Identify one oval rail mounting hole near each corner of the POWERAC's mounting panel.
1) Place POWERAC against the mounting rails. Secure the POWERAC to the cabinet's rails with the
mounting screws.
2) If a second POWERAC is to be installed, fit its top corners into the cutouts in the lower corners of the
upper POWERAC Panel. Secure the POWERAC to the rails.
• A MODULRAC backplane
• A Power Distribution Assembly (PDA)
• A factory safety ground
Refer to Figures 2-2, 2-3 for the following cable installation procedure:
1. Refer to the user's system wiring diagrams and identify all involved racks and their corresponding
POWERACs.
2. Get the 24V unterminated power cables from the installation materials.
3. As listed below, route a cable between the rack backplane and the selected POWERAC.
FROM MODULRAC OR FROM REMOTE TO
SIXPAC BACKPLANE I/O RACK BACKPLANE POWERAC
4. Wire the 4-conductor unterminated cable end to P1, P2, P3, or P4 on a POWERAC transition board.
Refer to Table 2-1. These keyed connectors plug into PC board mounted sockets and can be removed to
ease cable connection.
5. Plug the molded connector into a rack’s backplane connector (see step 3). Connectors are keyed ensuring
a correct mating.
A Power Distribution Assembly (PDA) is typically used to distribute AC power to POWERAC(s). A user-
fabricated three-conductor cable for AC power is used to connect a PDA to a POWERAC.
1. Determine the length of cable needed to connect the PDA to the AC Input Terminal Block (TB1) on the
POWERAC transition board. Cable wire size should be 14 AWG or larger for 39PSR4ANDN, or 14
AWG or larger for 39PSR2ANCN. Allow sufficient length for dressing and clamping the cable and for
conductor end preparation.
2. Cut cable to length, route cable from PDA to POWERAC, and strip conductor ends 0.43" (11 mm).
3. At the PDA, isolate the L1/N/G terminal blocks by removing the fuse from the Lever Fuse Holder.
On the POWERAC transition board, set the AC ON/OFF switch to the number "0" (OFF) position.
WARNING
Risk of electric shock. Remove AC power from all involved wires and terminals.
4. Refer to the PDA instruction (SD39PDA-1) and connect the cable to a PDA L1/N/G terminal block.
5. Remove the cover over the AC INPUT terminal block (TB1) on the POWERAC transition board. Refer
to Table 2-2 and connect the AC interconnect cable to TB1.
6. Install the protective cover. DO NOT apply operating power to POWERAC. Refer to section 2.8 to
place POWERAC in service.
The protective conductor (safety ground) connection is labeled “GND” on TB1 and is marked with the
following IEC symbol:
A POWERAC panel ground stud is provided for a #14 AWG (or larger) additional connection to the plant
safety ground bus. This connection is optional.
1) Note the POWERAC model number and part number on the nameplate label beneath the power
supply (see section 2.3). Consult user installation documents and confirm that the correct model
POWERAC has been installed.
2) Confirm that the AC power source connected to the PDA (to which the POWERAC is connected)
provides the correct AC voltage (see Table 2-3) for the installed model POWERAC.
CAUTION
Applying other than the specified AC power to a POWERAC can seriously damage
the unit. See section 6.0 for detailed specifications.
2. Install the fuse in the PDA's Lever Fuse Holder that was previously removed. Rotate the Lever Fuse
Holder to engage the fuse to the AC source and restore power to the POWERAC transition board.
3. On the POWERAC transition board, set the AC ON/OFF switch to the number "1" (ON) position. This
applies AC operating power to the power supply.
4. On the POWERAC transition board, confirm that the green "DC POWER" LED is lit, indicating
POWERAC is producing 24 Vdc. If the LED is not lit, refer to section 3.0 “Maintenance,” to resolve the
problem.
3.0 MAINTENANCE
POWERAC needs minimal maintenance. Some routine maintenance is recommended in the form of a visual
inspection and a possible cleaning.
POWERAC should be subjected to a periodic visual inspection. The frequency of inspection will depend on
the severity of the operating environment.
The primary aim of the inspection is to reveal any excessive accumulation of dust, dirt, or other foreign
material adhering to POWERAC. Accumulation of dirt and dust prevents efficient heat dissipation and may
cause system failure and/or equipment breakdown. POWERAC installed in a cabinet complying with the
NEMA 12/IP65 specification need not be inspected for cleanliness. Refer to section 3.3 for cleaning
instructions.
Systems using the 4-mationTM configuration software, version 2.00 and later, can detect a POWERAC
failure. However, unless 4-mation is monitored on a daily basis for hardware failures, a daily status
inspection of a redundant pair of POWERACS is recommended. An illuminated green “DC POWER” LED
on the POWERAC transition board indicates the presence of 24 Vdc output from POWERAC.
3.3 CLEANING
Cleaning a power supply involves brushing or vacuuming the protective covers to restore cooling efficiency
that may have been degraded by accumulated dust.
Cleaning a POWERAC transition board involves brushing and vacuuming the input power terminal block,
AC voltage control switch, and all cables and connectors to remove accumulated dust and dirt harboring
chemical particulate that may accelerate terminal, switch, or connector contact corrosion.
3.4 TROUBLESHOOTING
Transition board fuses can be replaced, however, the transition board and power supply section of
POWERAC can not be repaired in the field. They should be replaced and returned to the factory for repair. A
failed power supply can be field replaced by an assembly consisting of a power supply mounted to an “L”
bracket. DC and AC harnesses are included. Refer to Table 5-3 for replacement part numbers. Refer to the
following sections for general POWERAC maintenance information and troubleshooting guidance.
The following is a list of the protective features provided by the power supply section of each model power
supply:
• Over current: This power supply operates as a constant-voltage source. If the load current tries to exceed
110% of the 40/C rating, output voltage will begin to decrease toward zero, thereby limiting the current
delivered to the load (current limiting values for each model are: 39PSR4A = 28A, 39PSR2A = 14A). The
power supply can operate indefinitely with the output shorted. When the overload is removed, normal
operation resumes.
• Over voltage: The power supply will automatically shut down if operating conditions cause excessive
output voltage. After an overvoltage shut down has occurred, the input power must be interrupted for at
least 30 seconds (using the transition board's AC ON/OFF switch to interrupt AC power) to re-establish
the output. When the cause of the overvoltage shutdown has been removed, the shutdown circuit will reset
in less than 30 seconds after the removal of input power.
• Over temperature: The power supply will automatically shut down if operating conditions cause
excessive internal heating. After an overtemperature shut down has occurred, the input power must be
interrupted to re-establish the output. When the cause of the overtemperature shutdown has been removed,
the shutdown circuit will reset in less than 30 seconds after the removal of input power.
• Input under voltage: If the line input falls below 85 Vac, the output is inhibited. Output is re-established
when the line input exceeds 85 Vac
• Input over voltage: The input circuit configuration is automatically selected by internal circuitry for all
input voltage ranges. If an input voltage of greater than 165 VAC (or 215 VDC) is applied, the voltage
doubler configuration of the circuit is automatically locked out and will not be reconnected unless input
power is interrupted (reset time is less than 30 seconds).
The AC input voltage can be accessed for testing at terminal block TB1. The DC output voltage can be
accessed for testing at the V(+) and V(-) terminals on a power supply end panel. See Figures 1-1 and 1-2 for
the location of test points. See Figure 4-1 for the schematic of the transition board.
Table 3-1 gives the output status of the power supply as indicated by a green LED located on the POWERAC
transition board (see Figure 1-1).
Additionally, Models 39PSR4ANDN/39PSR2ANCN POWERAC dual input power supplies can have status
LED indicators located on their input/output end panel as listed in Table 3-2.
This section describes the symptoms that can indicate the failure of a non-redundant or redundant
POWERAC.
Detection of the failure can be rapid, because control and I/O modules critical to a process loose power. A
failure is detected by noting the following:
• All status LEDs are extinguished on all modules installed in MODULRACs or SIXRACs that are powered
by the failed POWERAC.
• The Green "DC POWER" LED on the transition board of the failed POWERAC is extinguished.
• User installed process alarms are triggered.
• 4-mation, version 2.00 and higher, APACS+ I/O modules will report the sudden absence of 24 Vdc from a
MODULRAC 24V A, B, or C power bus. A failure will be posted by 4-mation runningon a Rack-
Mounted Industrial Server (RIS) that is connected to the APACS+ or QUADLOG system.
This failure is non-catastrophic to the system since the continuance of power to MODULRAC, SIXRAC, or
Remote I/O Rack is assured by the surviving POWERAC. A redundancy failure can be detected as follows:
4-mation, version 2.00 and higher - I/O modules will report the sudden absence of 24 Vdc from a
MODULRAC, SIXRAC, or Remote I/O rack’s 24V A, B, or C power bus. A failure will be posted in
4-mation on a RIS or personal computer (running 4-mation software) that is connected to the APACS+ or
QUADLOG system.
Table 3-3 provides information for troubleshooting an extinguished LED on the POWERAC transition
board. Use a Digital Multimeter (DMM) to confirm a diagnosis based on Table 3-3 by testing for:
It is assumed that the cause of the failed fuse has been identified and cleared.
2. Identify the failed fuse (F1, F2, F3, or F4). Disconnect its associated DC power cable connector (P1, P2,
P3, or P4) from the transition board.
3. Carefully pry the failed fuse from its clip holder and insert a P/N 7447-206 replacement fuse (see section
5.0) in the clip holder. Fuse Mfg: [Buss #MDQ-10, 10A Slo Blo, 32V Cartridge 1/4” x 1-1/4” (32 mm x
6.3 mm].
4. Connect the previously disconnected backplane DC power cable to its transition board connector.
6. For non-redundant POWERAC, confirm that all modules in the rack associated with the connected
backplane DC power cable are operational. If they are not operational, refer to section 3.4 for
troubleshooting guidance.
7. For redundant POWERACs, set a DMM to DC Volts and connect it between the output of the replaced
fuse and the black wire (DC -) at connector P6, "24VDC FROM PWR SUPPLY". Use a needle-point
probe to penetrate to the wire. Confirm that 24 Vdc is present at the output of the fuse. If the voltage is
not present, refer to section 3.4 for troubleshooting guidance.
3. AC power is absent at the AC input 3a. Check PDA for blown fuse.

2. Transition board DC fuse blown. 2. Before replacing the fuse (section 3.5), note the types
of modules in the MODULRAC or SIXRAC, then
add up the total current draw (6.5A limit). If the
limit is exceeded, remove or relocate the number of
modules necessary to reduce load current to an
acceptable level.
1. If the involved POWERAC is the sole source of power for a rack, replacing a transition board will
remove operating power to all involved modules. Determine the effect the shutdown will have on the
processes. As necessary, take appropriate steps to shut down or idle processes monitored or controlled
by the modules.
2. Remove operating power from the AC power leads connected to TB1 of the transition board. At the
Power Distribution Assembly (PDA), rotate the Lever Fuse Holder to disengage the fuse from the site
power source.
WARNING
3. Tag and remove the power leads from the terminal block
4. Tag and remove cables from connectors P1 to P4 labeled "DC SUPPLY TO BACKPLANE".
6. Remove the 2-wire DC harness from connector P5 labeled "24VDC FROM PWR SUPPLY".
7. Remove and retain the transition board's five mounting screws. Remove and discard the transition board.
1. Install the replacement transition board with the retained hardware from the above step 7.
4. At TB1, remove the protective cover and reconnect tagged AC power leads. Install the protective cover.
6. Reconnect the 2-wire DC harness to connector P5 labeled "24VDC FROM PWR SUPPLY".
7. Restore AC power to the transition board. At the Power Distribution Assembly, rotate the Lever Fuse
Holder to engage the fuse to the factory power source.
8. Place POWERAC in service. Set the AC ON/OFF switch to the "1" (on) position. Confirm lighting of
the transition board's green "DC POWER" LED indicating a 24 Vdc output from the power supply.
To facilitate a rapid replacement of a defective power supply, the replacement power supply assembly
consists of a power supply mounted to an "L" bracket and includes installed AC and DC harnesses.
1. If the power supply to be replaced has not suffered a catastrophic failure and is operating with a lesser
defect, as necessary, take appropriate steps to shut down processes monitored or controlled by the
modules in the associated racks.
2. Remove AC operating power from the power supply. On the involved transition board, set the AC
ON/OFF switch to the "0" (Off) position.
WARNING
Electrical shock hazard - Remove AC power from all involved connectors,
terminals, and wires.
4. On the transition board, disconnect a 2-wire DC harness from connector P6 labeled “24DC FROM
PWR SUPPLY.”
1) At the top of the power supply “L” bracket, loosen (do not remove) the bracket’s two securing screws.
2) Slide the power supply assembly “up” until the heads of the screws are centered in the bracket’s keyholes (large
diameter holes), then move the assembly outward and free of the POWERAC panel.
3) Record the part number from the small power supply label (see Figure 1-1) located above the power supply on the
“L” bracket.
6. Refer to section 3.10 for instructions on returning the defective assembly to the factory for repair.
1. Check that the part number on the label of the replacement power supply assembly agrees with that of the
removed assembly. As necessary, refer to Table 5-3 for replacement power supply part numbers and
section 6.0 for performance specifications.
CAUTION

An accurate record keeping system for tracking maintenance operations should be established and kept up to
date. Data extracted from the record may serve as a basis for ordering maintenance supplies, including spare
parts. The record may also be useful as troubleshooting tool. In addition, maintenance records may be
required to provide documentation in association with a service contract. It is suggested that the following
information be recorded:
As shown in Figure 4-1, POWERAC consists of a 24 Vdc power supply, a termination board, and various
cables. POWERAC supplies operating power to the backplane of a ten-slot MODULRAC, a six-slot
SIXRAC, or a four-slot Remote I/O Rack where it is distributed to the installed APACS+ or QUADLOG
modules.
AC power from a Power Distribution Assembly (PDA) is applied to TB1 on the termination board and routed
through an AC On/Off switch to connector P5. A short cable connects P5 to the power supply's AC input
terminals.
Another short cable connects the power supply's DC output to P6 on the termination board. The power
supply's 24 Vdc output is applied in parallel to fuses F1 to F4. The outputs of the fuses are applied to
connectors P1 to P4, each consisting of an upper removable connector and a lower PC board mounted socket.
A user-installed DC power cable is connected between one of the P1 - P4 connectors and a MODULRAC,
SIXRAC, or Remote I/O Rack backplane connector to carry 24 Vdc to the backplane. This arrangement
creates three separate DC buses (A BUS, B BUS, and C BUS) from which installed modules receive their
operating power.
Each DC Bus is tapped by a module through separate pins in the module's backplane connector (P1) and
applied to the anodes of A BUS, B BUS, and C BUS diodes located on a module's circuit card. The cathodes
of all three diodes are connected (diode OR'ing) to create a common power bus for the circuit card. When
redundant POWERACs are installed, diode OR'ing assures continued operating power in the event of a
POWERAC failure or removal.
Table 5-1 lists the current POWERACs available. Newer and older models are electrically identical, however,
there are mechanical differences between their mounting brackets.
The POWERACs listed in Table 5-1 have replaced the earlier models which have been discontinued.
