11 1. Introduction Description The NT5C06D Switch Mode Rectifier is rated for 25 A at -48 V DC. This rectifier incorporates AC input power factor correction circuitry, is highly efficient and lightweight (15 lbs.). It is fully connectorized and plugs into a power shelf into which up to three rectifiers can be installed. The rectifier is forced air cooled with air entering from the front and exhausting out the rear of the power shelf. Separate or common AC power feeds are connected to th

12 Introduction Applications The rectifier is designed to function as the prime source of power for equipment requiring -48 V DC. It will also operate as a battery charger or as a battery replacement (batteryless operation). Its low output noise and good voltage regulation, combined with a 0.01% V coefficient for each degree C of temperature, provides an excellent charging facility to maintain a battery fully charged. The NT5C06D rectifier is designed to operate continuously in a small

Introduction 13 Helios Rectifier 25/48 NT5C06D(X) –48 V / 25 A Switch Mode Rectifier The NT5C06D provides -48 V / 25 A of isolated, filtered, and regulated DC power from a single phase AC source, for powering a load while charging a positive grounded battery. The output voltage can be adjusted from 46.0 to 56.0 V for floating a 23 or 24 cell battery string. The rectifier is designed for automatic precharge upon insertion into the MPS75 power shelf. When the NT5C06D is plugged in
