2. Introduction
2.1 Scope of the Manual
This instruction manual explains the installation, interconnection, and operation of the Cordex
®
48-3.6kW, 48-4.0kW,
48-4.6kW, and 48-12kW modular switched mode rectifier systems.
2.2 Product Overview
A complete Cordex 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.
Rectifier modules use a high frequency, switched mode conversion technique to provide a fully regulated and iso-
lated DC output from the AC mains. The rectifier input is wide range to allow use on 208/220/240/277 Vac 50/60 Hz
electrical service.
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. The controller allows the user
to configure, monitor and control the entire DC power system from its touch screen display including 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
software manual, document #0350058-J0.
