Note: For NEC code compliance, all conductor sizing calculations for derating due to ambient
temperature and the number of conductors in a conduit are made assuming 90°C rated
conductors.
AC Input Schemes
GPS 4848/100: 595 Rectifiers (48V, 200A) and 595LT Rectifiers (48V, 220A)
595 and 595LT series rectifier input and output voltages are as shown below.
380-480Vac, 3-phase, 50/60 Hz
200-240Vac, 3-phase, 50/60 Hz
The GPS 4848/100 system supports three AC schemes:
·
Single bulk 3-wire (3-phase): The panel is factory-equipped to distribute the appropriate
connections to the rectifiers through circuit breakers.
·
Multiple bulk 3-wire (3-phase): The panel is factory-equipped to distribute the appropriate
connections to the rectifiers through circuit breakers.
·
Multiple 3-wire (3-phase): Connected directly to the terminal strips, which then, distribute the ac
power to the rectifiers. One feed for each rectifier, external circuit overload protection, must be
provided by customer.
Note: All wire sizes are based on the US National Electric Code.
