Power
Issue 4 May 2002 2-3 555-233-123
NOTE:
When EPN power is interrupted for greater than the cabinet holdover but
less than the control carrier holdover, calls in the control carrier are held for
the duration of the interruption but are dropped when power is restored.
Single-Carrier Cabinets
In single-carrier cabinets, there is no internal AC wiring or distribution and no
software interaction with the power system. The power supplies themselves take
about 250 milliseconds for the voltages to drop below limits.
The control cabinet that houses the Switch Processing Element (SPE) is the only
cabinet that has an internal battery reserve. All other control cabinets and port
cabinets have the 250 millisecond power supply decay delay, after which all
connections and links associated with the cabinets are dropped.

However, if the EPN contains a TN775B maintenance circuit pack, the holdover time for the entire
cabinet is 10 seconds, and the holdover time for the control carrier is 10 minutes.
