1 Introduction
GPS 4848/100
Overview Lucent Technologies developed the Galaxy Power System (GPS)
4848/100 to support -48 volt telecommunications powering solutions in
worldwide markets. The GPS 4848/100 combines 200-ampere,
fan-cooled, switchmode rectifiers, microprocessor control technologies,
battery and load disconnect/reconnect options, and a comprehensive
line of fuse and circuit breaker dc distribution options in a modular
front-access design. This modularity ensures easy access, simplified
installation and maintenance, and allows the system to expand in
capacity and features as power needs grow.
With 10,000-ampere maximum capacity, distribution flexibility, and
universal ac input capability, the GPS 4848/100 supports switching,
transmission, and wireless applications in central office locations and
environmentally controlled remote sites (huts or vaults). For centralized
architecture, bus bars are available to 5,200A.
