  • Comparison of DC Safety in Communication Power Supply Racks

    Comparison of DC Safety in Communication Power Supply Racks

    This article explains how to scale from a simple battery testing system to a flexible multi-channel battery test rack, how to choose between per-channel supplies and a shared DC bus, and how to combine safety circuits, interlocks and cabling for high-voltage batteries. DC racks have a long history- and if you are not currently using DC power distribution, it is pretty certain that you have encountered it in the past, and may still be using it every day - in your phone. “Power infrastructure has been somewhat black magic to most organizations,” says My Truong. Plan battery test system power and safety architecture from single-channel testers to multi-channel racks. One of the central components you'll need to consider in your planning is the DC power supply. ) provide DC power for backup, a DC power architecture requires fewer total conversions from grid to chip, creating the opportunity to reduce costs.
