1.0 Introduction

The APP 9005C Service Power Supply (SPS) is a portable device used to provide temporary power to a remote PHY unit 

for up to 8 hours while the existing node is being optimized on site prior to connecting it to the network and carrying traffic. 

The APP 9005C SPS contains a front panel ammeter to measure the output current to the load, dual 90V outputs with an 

auto-seize mechanism, and an “Output” indicator to verify AC output power.

1.1 Theory of Operation

The APP 9005C SPS contains a ferroresonant transformer and a capacitor. During AC LINE operation, utility power 

is fed into the primary winding of the ferroresonant transformer. An AC capacitor becomes the resonant circuit of the 

ferroresonant transformer which provides noise and spike attenuation, short circuit current limiting, and output voltage 

regulation. 

Note:

 The ferroresonant transformer produces a “quasi” square wave output which resembles a rounded square wave.

120V AC power enters the Service Power Supply where it is regulated to 90 VAC, and passed onto the remote PHY unit 

via coax cable connected to Output 1 or 2. 

Use only a true RMS AC voltmeter. Non-RMS reading meters are calibrated to respond to pure 

sine waves and will not provide an accurate reading when measuring a quasi-square wave 

output.

NOTICE:

DO NOT unplug output connector while unit is in operation! Power switch must be turned 

off first.

WARNING! ELECTRICAL HAZARD
