Cordex HP 2.4kW / 3.0kW Modular Switched Mode Rectifier
2. Introduction
2.1 Scope of the manual
This manual explains the installation, interconnection, and operation of:
•
Cordex HP 3.0kW rectifier systems
•
Cordex HP 2.4kW rectifier systems.
2.2 Product overview
A complete rectifier system consists of one or more power modules in a common shelf enclosure. The shelf has
connections for AC inputs, DC output, and system communications. The wide AC input operating range for global
installations and wide operating temperature ranges for installation in uncontrolled environments along with high
efficiency (>96%) reduces the carbon footprint and the operating expenses.
Cordex rectifier modules use a high frequency, switched mode conversion technique to provide a fully regulated
and isolated DC output from the AC mains. Multiple 48V configurations are available up to 312.5A in a compact
1RU shelf system. Industry leading power density (35W/in
3
) yields more space for revenue generating equipment.
Rectifier power modules are “hot swappable”—they can be inserted or removed from the shelf without cutting
power to or from the system or the load. Additional power modules can be included with the system at the time of
ordering or added after the shelf has been installed.
The shelf rectifier system is designed to operate with the Cordex System Controller (CXC). This controller allows
the user to configure, monitor, and control the entire DC power system from its touch screen display which
includes temperature compensation, auto equalization, remote access, dial out on alarm, battery diagnostics,
as well as Web server and SNMP support for configuration and monitoring. Details of controller operation are
provided in the current version of the related software manual.
External system controller models communicate with the shelf via RJ12 shelf connectors. In a power system, up
to five rectifier shelves can be stacked and connected to the same controller. The latest Cordex HP controller,
featuring touch screen, color LCD display with front Ethernet and USB connectors, is available as a panel mount
controller or as part of the CXPS-E3 system.
Shelf ID location technology is built into the
Cordex HP 3.0kW rectifier
. This feature is capable of remotely
locating the exact position of a rectifier within a large system. This can be useful for quickly locating a unit during a
service interruption or when a unit has failed.
