1. INTRODUCTION
The Gamatronic "PS1UDC+" power system:
• Provides clean dc power to sensitive equipment such as telecom exchanges and

transmission systems, other switching systems, industrial systems for automatic control and
process supervision.
• Charges the battery bank that provides backup power during a mains failure.
The PS1UDC+ is essentially a dc-UPS with a battery connected to it. The size of the battery
determines the duration of the backup provided and the current needed to recharge the battery
when they have become discharged following a lengthy power failure. (See Computations, page
29 for how to determine appropriate battery size.)
The PS1UDC+ system makes use of two techniques to achieve continuity of power supply to the
load:
• Redundancy of rectifiers. The system is provided with one or more rectifiers above and
beyond the number needed to power the maximum load and keep the battery charged. This
ensures that if one or more of the rectifiers were to fail, the system would remain capable of
supplying the maximum required power.
• Battery backup. In the event of a failure of the input ac power source, the batteries enable the
system to continue to power the load for a limited period of time.
1.1 Model types

There are two models of the PS1UDC+ power system:
• One model has a nominal output of 48 Vdc.

• The other model has a nominal output of 24 Vdc.
The 48 Vdc power system can use one of two types of rectifier modules:
• The standard module, with efficiency of up to 92 % for Vin=230 Vac.

• The LLC module, with improved efficiency of up to 96 % for Vin=230 Vac.
The 24 Vdc power system accepts only the LLC type of rectifier module,
with efficiency of up to 94 % for Vin=230 Vac.
1.2 Line input

The PS1UDC+ power system accepts line input of:
• one phase (three wires: Phase, Neutral, Ground),

OR
• three phases (5 wires: L1, L2, L3, Neutral, Ground).
Dc power system model PS1UDC+ Introduction 1

User Guide Gamatronic Electronic Industries Ltd.
2. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
2.1 Overview
The PS1UDC+ power system is comprised of four main subsystems:
• Rectifier module(s): Convert(s) ac input to dc output.

• Electronic Low Voltage Disconnect (ELVD) device: Disconnects the battery from the load,
preventing the damage to the battery that results from over-discharging. The PS1UDC+ has a
true semiconductor-based LVD with no moving parts (such as relays or contactors). This
ensures reliable operation and a long MTBF. The ELVD of the PS1UDC+ uses power
MOSFETs to perform the switching. The ELVD has two branches that can handle two
independent battery sets. (For loads higher than 120 A, battery disconnection is performed
by a dc contactor (LVD).)
• System controller: Monitors and controls the system and also communicates with an
external PC or network. This is done by an RS232 serial port (standard) or via
PPP/SNMP/TCP-IP protocol (optional).
• Motherboard
The rectifiers are “hot pluggable” and operate in parallel. This means the rectifiers can be added
or replaced with no impact on the power supply to the load devices and with no impact on the
battery charging current. The parallel configuration of the rectifiers also enables the user to define
an “N+1” or “N+2” redundant system.
Each rectifier has its own current sharing system, and provides complete, precise current sharing
among rectifiers.
Output terminals for connecting the load and battery sets are mounted on the connecting busbars
of the motherboard, located behind the removable metal rear panel.
OPTION: On customer request, the PS1UDC+ power system can include a special additional
rack containing dc–dc converters.

2.2 Main features

• 1 to 38 parallel “hot-plugged” 1U rectifiers, each with a maximum output of
33 A / 48 Vdc or 40 A / 24 Vdc, for Vin=230 Vac.
• Maximum current rating of the power system is 1250 A. Actual rating depends on the number
of rectifier modules.
• System input voltage: single-phase or three-phase, as per customer request.
• Universal input voltage for the rectifiers: 100 to 240 Vac nominal continuous, no selectors or
switches.
• Smart rectifier modules with built-in microprocessor and high output power density.
• Input over-voltage protection: in the event that the input voltage to the LLC rectifier module
rises to ≥300 Vac, the rectifier module ceases operation. When the input voltage descends to
280 Vac, the rectifier module resumes normal operation.
• Power systems using LLC power modules are protected against mix-up of input phases,
neutral and ground wires, and against disconnection of neutral or phase wires
• A built-in dual ELVD for battery protection (2 x 70A | 1 x 120A). For higher current ratings a
special additional contactor (LVD) can be provided.
• A high performance, hot-pluggable 1U system controller measures, displays, and monitors

voltages, currents, temperature, battery parameters and other data. The system can be
operated with or without the controller.
• The controller has an LCD screen for the display of data and parameters.
• The system can be operated and monitored using a graphic software interface (Windows-
compatible) and a local or remote PC or laptop computer.
• Two battery sets provide redundancy.
• Automatic and programmed battery test.
• Two battery charge modes: float and equalize/boost.
• Temperature compensation varies the battery charging voltage in floating mode to enhance
battery life.
• Software updates can be applied to the PS1UDC+ remotely, with no physical intervention
required.
• Six programmable output dry-contact signals (N.O.) are available for transmittal of alarms or
signals.
• Eight input dry contacts are available to accept signals from external sources.
• Active current sharing between all the rectifiers for optimum performance.
• Controller and rectifier modules are hot-plugged, and can be replaced during system
operation with no interruption to the voltage supplied to the load or the batteries.
• Two types of shelves: for controller and two rectifiers (type 1), or for three rectifiers only
(type 2).

2.5 Shelf connections and jumpers

The rear side of the PS1UDC+ system contains shelf connections and jumpers.
The connections and jumpers are configured properly when the unit leaves the factory. The
information in this section is provided merely for reference.
2.5.1 Shelf connections

The shelves of the PS1UDC+ system are interconnected. Each type-2 shelf (shelves for rectifiers
only) contains two connectors, labeled P1 and P3. The P1 connector is connected to the shelf
above it, the P3 connector is connected to the shelf below it.
The type-1 shelf (which contains the controller) has only one connector, labeled P1. It is
connected to P1 on the shelf below it.
The shelf interconnections are shown in Figure 5 below.
Figure 5: Shelf connections and jumpers on system rear side
2.5.2 Jumpers
Each shelf has jumpers. Proper setting of these jumpers is required to ensure correct assignment
of the correct addresses to each rectifier for controller indications.
The type-1 shelf (shelf that includes a controller) has one jumper, labeled J1. If the system
includes a controller, the type-1 shelf must always be the top (or only) shelf.
The type-2 shelf (shelf for rectifiers only) has three jumpers, labeled J1, J2, and J3.
The location of the jumpers on the rear side of the shelves is shown in Figure 5 above. The
proper setting of these jumpers depends on the number and type of shelves in the system, and is
shown in Table 2 below.

3. THE RECTIFIER MODULE

The rectifier module is the heart of the full-redundancy power system. It is a plug-in module
designed specifically for modular systems. The power factor correction (PFC) device at the input
enables clean, harmonic-free, sinusoidal current consumption from the ac input. The power factor
corrector produces a 400 Vdc output, which is then down-converted to the 48 Vdc output voltage.
A current sharing circuit is responsible for accurate current sharing among the rectifiers. This
enables each one of the rectifiers to change its output voltage slightly until sharing is achieved.
The output current is indicated by the 4-LED bar graph on the left side of the front panel shown
on the front panel (see Figure 6). This bar graph is used to verify the current sharing operation,
as well as to indicate the percentage of the full load.
Figure 6: Rectifier LED bar-graph of load
The rectifier module requires forced cooling. The speed of the fan used for evacuating the heat
from internal components is variable. A special circuit changes the speed of the fan according to
the load level. This prolongs the life of the fan, thus increasing the MTBF of the rectifier module
itself. Other benefits include reduced audible noise and induced internal dust deposits.

3.4 Rectifier calibration

Calibration of the PFC module is simple and involves a single trimmer, which adjusts the output
voltage.
To calibrate the rectifier:

1. Connect the rectifier to the ac input.
2. Access the trimmer (see Figure 10) via the small opening at the top of the cover.
3. Using a voltmeter, set the output voltage to 54 Vdc (48 Vdc module)
or 27 Vdc (24 Vdc module).
Note: Other voltages are possible. Please consult Gamatronic's specialists for information
regarding specific models.

5. SYSTEM CONTROLLER SC1UDC+

The PS1UDC+ system includes a system controller called the SC1UDC+. The SC1UDC+
controller is shown in Figure 11.
A comprehensive description of the controller is provided in a separate manual (titled Dc Power

System Controller Model SC1UDC+).
The SC1UDC+ system controller is 1U in height and is located on the top shelf of the system.
The controller monitors and controls all of the system components: the rectifiers (up to 38
modules), the LVD, the battery strings. The controller is hot-plugged, which means it can be slid
into or out of the system while the system is operating, without affecting the supply of power to
the load devices.
The front panel of the controller includes two connections for communication – a USB socket and
an Ethernet socket. The controller's electrical connections to the power system are on its rear
panel.
The SC1UDC+ controller is designed to be used with an external PC monitor, so the number of
function buttons and indicator LEDs on the front panel are limited. The controller also has an
audible alarm.
The controller includes an LCD screen on which can be displayed a wide range of system
measurements and parameters.
The SC1UDC+ system controller regulates the system’s dc output voltage by measuring and
correcting it in a negative feedback loop. This ensures a 0.5% absolute error in all conditions.
When the SC1UDC+ system controller module is not present or is removed, the PS1UDC+
system maintains its output at the user-determined default voltage level, with no interruption of
the voltage supplied to the load or batteries.
Two versions of the SC1UDC+ system controller are available:
• Standard version: RS232 serial communication

• NET version: includes both RS232 serial communication and SNMP/TCP/IP communication
Note: The standard version can be upgraded to the NET version. Check your SC1UDC+ manual
for details.

• Exit from the current function or menu.

• Pressing this key on the default display screen when an alarm condition is
active silences the audible alarm, confirms the alarm, and changes the
alarm LED mode from flashing to steady on. A fresh alarm reactivates the
audible alarm and returns the alarm LED to blinking mode.
5.1.1.3 Audible alarm buzzer

The audible alarm buzzer warns users of the existence of a fault or faults in the power system.
The Alarm LED remains lit as long as there is an active fault, even if the alarm buzzer has
stopped or has been silenced via the ESC key.
When a fault occurs, the alarm sounds until either the ESC button is pressed or the fault is
corrected. Note that the maximum audible alarm time can be limited to 15 seconds by a user-
configurable controller setting (Main menu > Advanced > Buzzer Duration).
5.1.1.4 USB socket

This port enables RS232 communication between the controller and a directly connected
computer, over a USB-USB cable. Enables use of a graphic software interface for monitoring and
control of system operation, status, and parameter settings. For details, see the user guide for the
SC1UDC+ system controller.
5.1.1.5 Ethernet (RJ45) socket

This port enables remote communication over an Ethernet network using the SNMP/TCP/IP
protocol, allowing remote monitoring and control of system operation, status, and parameter
settings via a graphic software interface. For details, see the user guide for the SC1UDC+ system
controller.

5.2 Battery test

Both batteries are automatically tested on a periodic basis by the system controller. The length of
time between tests can be modified by the user.
Manual ("on-demand") battery tests can also be performed.
The battery is tested by lowering the rectifier’s dc voltage to a preset level for a user-definable
duration, and simultaneously measuring the battery voltage and current through the load during
battery discharge. During the battery test, the battery LED on the controller blinks on and off.
If the battery is efficient and fully charged, the voltage reading remains above a specific, user-
defined threshold for the duration of the test, and "passes" the battery test. The controller's
Battery LED moves to a steady "ON" state.
If the battery is inefficient or weak, the voltage reading will fall below the user-defined threshold
and a “battery test failed” alarm is generated. In this case the battery LED on the controller
remains in a steady “OFF” state after the battery test.
When the PS1UDC+ system is managing two battery sets, the battery test proceeds as follows:
1. The voltage of the two battery sets are tested in parallel. If the measured voltage is
below the user-defined threshold, a “battery test failed” alarm is generated and the
battery LED on the controller remains in a steady “OFF” state after the battery test.
2. If the battery sets passed the voltage test, the current of one battery set is compared to
the other. If the current produced by one battery set is significantly lower than the current
of the other battery set, the set with the lower current is considered unsatisfactory, a
“battery test failed” alarm is generated and the battery LED on the controller remains in a
steady “on” state after the battery test. A console function on the controller enables the
user to determine which of the battery sets is unsatisfactory.
The battery LED on the controller moves to a steady “ON” state if the status of both battery sets is
normal.

5.3 Rectifier addresses

The rectifier modules are in constant communication with the controller, reporting their status and
receiving commands to perform any needed load adjustments. To ensure proper routing of
communications between the rectifiers and the controller, each rectifier is assigned an ID based
on its location (row or shelf number and column number).
Figure 13 shows the address assignments for a system with 38 rectifiers and a controller. Note
that if a system includes a controller it must be located in the upper right slot, when viewed from
the front of the system.
Figure 13: Address assignments for 38 rectifiers with controller

6. ELVD (ELECTRONIC LOW-VOLTAGE DISCONNECT DEVICE)

The ELVD (Electronic Low-Voltage Disconnect device) is connected to the “frame motherboard”
(a special motherboard for the controller and top row rectifiers) and can be accessed from the
rear of the system after removing the rear metal cover.
The device, which contains dual 70 A ELVDs mounted on one board, can control the
disconnection of two separate battery sets. Alternatively, the ELVDs can be connected in parallel
to a single 120 A output. (For higher battery current ratings a special additional contactor (LVD)
can be provided.)
The ELVD disconnects the battery set(s) from the load when the output voltage falls below a
user-specified value (i.e., when the battery is deeply discharged), thus protecting the battery from
permanent damage due to over-discharge.
The ELVD in the PS1UDC+ system uses power MOSFETs for switching. (These solid-state
devices replace the traditional electromechanical relays and contactors and have a higher
MTBF.)
The ELVD can be easily replaced, if necessary.

7.6 Input dry contacts

Connector P14 on the system motherboard contains connections to eight input dry contacts.
These inputs can be used to accept signals from other, external equipment. A signal consists of a
change in the state of the external circuit connected to the input dry contacts. The external circuit
can be in either of two states: open or closed. The user can observe the status of each of the
input dry contacts (open or closed) via the graphic user interface software.
The input dry contacts can be used, for example, to monitor the state of critical system circuit
breakers such as the ac input circuit breaker, the battery circuit breaker, load circuit breakers.
A dry contact can be used to monitor the state of the lightning protection.
The input dry contacts can be used to monitor the state of other equipment, such as a smoke
detector or a circuit to detect the opening of a door or the operation of an air conditioner.
To connect an exterior circuit to the input dry contacts, connect one side of the circuit to any of
pins 1 through 8, and the other side of the circuit to either pin 9 or 10 – there is no electrical
difference between pins 9 and 10
Note: The circuit connected to the input dry contacts must be voltage free at all times. The
presence of voltage on the external circuit may damage the controller and/or prevent the
system from detecting a change in state of the circuit.

7.7 Battery temperature compensation

To ensure optimum charging voltage, the PS1UDC+ varies the battery charging voltage
according to the battery temperature, as measured by the system controller and two temperature
sensors.
The calculated temperature is the average of the two measurements. In case one sensor is
absent or defective, the system will ignore this sensor and treat the normal sensor only. The
temperature value is displayed on the PC screen and is used to calculate the compensation. The
compensation coefficient is negative and is programmable by the software. Typical compensation
value is [–3 mV/°C] per 2-V VRLA cell.
The temperature sensors are of the RTD type and their connections, are labeled “P5” on the
motherboard.
Figure 15: Connections for battery temperature sensors

8. COMPUTATIONS
This section explains how to determine the battery capacity required by the system, and how to
compute number of rectifier modules needed to satisfy the power required by the load and for
battery charging.
The battery's function is to supply sufficient power to power the load in the event of a failure of the
power system's ac input source. When the ac input is restored, the system recharges the battery.
At that time, the rectifiers must supply sufficient power to supply the maximum load and to charge
the battery.
8.1.1 Computing required battery capacity

The formula for computing the battery capacity (BATTCAPAC) required for the system is:
BATCAPAC [in Ah] = (TBACKUP * ILOAD), where:

TBACKUP is the backup time (in hours) that the batteries must supply, and
ILOAD = maximum current required by load [in amperes].
Example (for 48 Vdc system):
Assume that the requirement for battery backup time is 8 hours, so: TBACKUP = 8 hours.
Assume that the load current is 60 A at 48 V. This means ILOAD = 60.
The required battery capacity is TBACKUP * ILOAD = 8 hr. x 60 A = 480 Ah.
A backup capacity of 480 Ah / 48 V can be supplied by a bank of four 480 Ah / 12 V batteries

connected in series.
8.1.2 Computing required battery recharge current

The formula for computing the required battery recharge current is:
IRECHARGE = BATCAPAC * 1.15 / TRECHARGE, where

BATCAPAC is battery capacity as computed above,
1.15 is a safety factor to ensure sufficient current, and
TRECHARGE = time (hrs) needed to recharge the battery (according to batt. mfr.'s specs)
Example (for 48 Vdc system):
Assume battery capacity is 480 Ah / 48 V as computed in the previous example.

Assume battery recharge time is 20 hrs as per the battery manufacturer's specification sheet.
The required battery recharge current is (480 Ah * 1.15) / 20 = 27.6 A
8.1.3 Computing the number of rectifier modules required

To compute the number of rectifier modules required it is first necessary to compute the total
current (ITOTAL) required to simultaneously supply the maximum load and charge the batteries.
ITOTAL = ILOAD + IRECHARGE, where

ILOAD is maximum load current, and
IRECHARGE is the required battery recharge current as computed above.
Continuing with our example from above, ILOAD = 60 A and IRECHARGE = 27.6 A, so the
33 A / 48 V rectifiers must provide a total (ITOTAL) of 87.6 A.
Dc power system model PS1UDC+ Computations 29

To find the number of rectifiers required, divide ITOTAL by 33 A, which is the maximum output of
a single rectifier module. If there is a remainder, round up to the next whole number. To provide
N+1 redundancy to the system, add 1 to the result.
Example:
87.6 / 33 = 2.63 ≈ 3 for our purposes, so a minimum of 3 rectifier modules are needed.
To provide N+1 redundancy, 4 modules are needed.
