Power Supply Configurations
Three alternative methods are possible to connect the DC supply to the rack.
Secure Supply: This is the preferred method as it provides DC from different sources
giving greater resilience of supply than the other methods. (see diagram above and note
2 below) From each Distribution Boards (DB) run and tie in a negative battery feed and
a zero volt return to a Dual Pole Isolating switch and then from the isolating switch to the
AC/CT rack installed. These supplies should be rated at 30A. Power cables must be run
and tied separate from signal cables.
