System Diagram ⎯ Flatpack2 Power System
In the Flatpack2 PS system shown in Figure 1, the Smartpack controller monitors and
controls the whole system, and serves as the local user interface between you and the
system. The PowerSuite application is used for remote operation and system
configuration.
Figure 1 Example of a typical Flatpack2 PS system for DC power supply of telecom
equipment. The system is fed from an external AC mains supply, and consists of
rectifiers in power shelves, a control unit and DC distribution unit. Battery banks,
LVD contactors, etc. are typically also a part of the system.
