MX28B600-48V 4.2 Power Output Capacity 600 amps maximum, or 550 amps with N+1 redundancy. The housing provides space for three rectifier shelves that can hold up to four rectifiers each, a control unit, and two tiers of up to 43 distribution circuit breakers. 4.3 Rectifiers The rectifiers are APC DC Network Solutions, Inc. Model MRF28H54BV with specifications as follows: • Input Voltage: 176-264V AC (230V AC nominal) @ 45-66 Hz • Input Current per Rectifier: 13.9 Amps @ 230V AC • A

MX28B600-48V 4.5 AC Input Power Each rectifier requires 208/220/240V AC, single-phase, 50/60 Hz, supplied through an external 20-amp two-pole breaker. There are three entry points (one for each rectifier shelf), for customer-supplied one-inch conduit. Section 5.2 for details on electrical connection. 4.6 Battery connections Battery connections are made by feeding the cables thru the bottom-rear of the unit. Use caution when running the cables to not damage other components. (Figure 4.6-1

MX28B600-48V 4.7 DC Distribution Two plug-in circuit breaker tiers, consisting of a 24-position panel and two 10-position panels, provide 43 positions of -48V distribution. One position is reserved for the Manual Battery Disconnect Switch. The breaker tiers are center fed via bus bars to the -48V DC bus with each side having an ampacity of 300A. Connections for -48V DC loads, requiring standard #10-32 two-hole lugs on 5/8-inch centers, are located directly above the corresponding brea

MX28B600-48V Prior to installation, drawings, floor loading requirements, external alarm points, AC service entrance, and grounding schemes should all be checked and confirmed. If batteries are to be mounted in a room separate from the power plant, careful attention should be paid to battery cable voltage drop effects. Environmental operating temperatures and ventilation/cooling considerations should also be noted, not just for the power system but for all other equipment that may reside

MX28B600-48V 5.3.1 Cable Sizing Considerations The battery cable(s) should be sized sufficiently large to limit the voltage drop from the MX28B600 DC power plant to the battery during charging in accordance with system design requirements. The cable(s) must also carry the full load current during battery operation. If assistance is required to determine the necessary cables for the application, contact your sales representative or APC DC Network Solutions Inc. 5.3.2 Connecting the Cable

MX28B600-48V 5.6.2 Alarm Outputs There are eight alarms available that provide outputs via Form “C” relay contacts. The last two of these are pre-assigned as the Minor and Major alarm outputs. The Major relay is energized (NO-C contacts closed) during normal (non-alarm) operating conditions; all the other relays energize when an alarm condition occurs. The other six outputs are initially designated as “Relay 1” through “Relay 6” (the user may assign more meaningful names if desired). T
