    Distribution Series 3 Dual Bus 1.0 INTRODUCTION The ICT Distribution Series 3 dual-bus DC distribution panel provides two 100 amps (peak) bus inputs; with six independently controlled and monitored output channels per bus in a compact 1RU chassis for 19-inch rack mounting.
  • Page 11: Common Features

    Distribution Series 3 Dual Bus 1.1 Common Features • 200 amps peak system current rating / 100 amps per bus • Six independently controlled and monitored output channels per • Independent form-C alarm contacts for each bus • High-quality, reliable hydraulic/magnetic breakers support 12-, 24- and 48-volt DC applications •...
  • Page 12: Quick Install Guide

    Distribution Series 3 Dual Bus • Channel output breakers must not exceed 30 amps max rating for 12- and 24-volt DC systems, 20 amps max rating for 48-volt DC systems. • Install unit in a restricted access location (such as an equipment rack) to limit unintentional contact with terminals and wiring.
  • Page 13: Package Contents

    2.3.2 Other Requirements To complete the installation, appropriate circuit breakers (available from ICT) are needed for each output channel that the user plans to use. Circuit breakers must be ordered separately from the following list for use on the ICT200DB-12IRC unit.
  • Page 14: Ground Connection

    Distribution Series 3 Dual Bus 2.5 Ground Connection All DC inputs and outputs of ICT’s DC distribution panels are isolated from chassis ground (floating). DC input and output returns can remain isolated from ground (DC-I) or can be grounded (DC-C), as per site grounding requirements and/or NOTICE local or national electrical codes.
  • Page 15: Load Connections

    Always observe the following: • DC-AC Inverters should not be connected to the outputs of any ICT Distribution Series panel. DC-AC Inverters create significant inrush current and may damage the circuitry or interfere with the operation of power distribution panels that they are connected to.
  • Page 16: Installation Of Breakers

    Distribution Series 3 Dual Bus Each bus provides six remotely controlled and monitored outputs, with front panel overcurrent protection provided by hydraulic-magnetic circuit breakers (see Section 2.8 for the installation instructions for the breakers). The maximum current rating for each bus is 100 amps. Each output can accept maximum current based on the bus voltage (see Table 4).
  • Page 17: System Wiring Final Verification

    Distribution Series 3 Dual Bus If the breakers are not fully installed or are not installed "square" they may cause intermittent power loss or unexpected behavior for the load devices. CAUTION When installing load breakers, apply even pressure to the top and bottom of the breaker to ensure proper engagement of the breaker with the rear contacts (see Figure 3).
