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.
