2.3. Rectifiers
Fig. 2-5 APR48-3G Rectifier
Powerware APR48-3G Access Power Rectifiers are designed specifically for network access
applications such as cellular base stations, customer premises equipment and road-side cabinet
installations.
The new generation 3G architecture is reliable, power dense and compact.
The APR48-3G rectifier incorporates a combination of leading-edge high frequency switch mode
technology for a flexible and efficient DC power source, with high reliability fan cooling which further
contributes to its high overall reliability.
The APR48-3G is a high powered rectifier with 1800W output. It is designed for operation at up to
70°C (158°F) and under a wide range of AC power conditions.
These features make the APR48-3G perfectly suited to the wide variety of equipment and demanding
environmental conditions found in network access applications.
The APR48-3G has power factor correction, (up to 92% efficient), with optimum performance available
at typical load currents. Together these give the APR48-3G some of the lowest running costs for any
DC power system of its type available.
Operating with the Powerware SC100 or SC200 system controller, the APR48-3G rectifier modules
will provide years of cost-effective, and trouble free service for your 48V network access equipment.
