Power System Overview
Introduction
Several power system equipment choices are available to the user in order to provide
power distribution and alarm capabilities in a Traverse system installation. The Turin
power distribution and alarm panel (PDAP) is one choice and is considered an optional,
adjunct component of the Traverse system.
This chapter includes the following topics:

Panel (PDAP)
Description
The Traverse system is powered by the central office battery (–48 VDC). Redundant
central office (CO) battery and battery return is connected to the Power Distribution
and Alarm Panel (PDAP).
The PDAP provides the following:
•
Terminates redundant –48 VDC central office battery
•
Terminates central office battery return
•
Distributes redundant battery and battery return
•
Provides power protection for Traverse shelves and auxiliary equipment
•
Visually display input power, fuse power, and critical, major, and minor bay alarms
Important:
Carefully plan your power supply capacity. The Turin
PDAP-4S with standard 40 amp fuses at –40 VDC provides 1600 watts.
Turin recommends using higher amperage fuses if your power
requirements go above a minimum of 1400 watts. If you fail to make
sufficient plans to meet the power requirements of your specific
configuration, and the power draw goes above the maximum capacity of
your power supply design, it can cause a circuit breaker to trip, resulting in
a loss of traffic.
