Straightforward, systematic approach for designing reliable dc power systems for telecommunications Here is a must-have resource for anyone responsible for designing, installing, and maintaining telecommunications systems. The text explains how to design direct current (dc) power systems that operate at nominal voltages of 24 and 48 volts dc, use lead-acid batteries, and are installed in public network telecommunications systems and other exclusive-use environments. Rather than train readers to design systems by rote, the author gives readers the skills and knowledge to perform systematic analyses to make the best choices based on several economic, operational, electrical, and physical considerations. Written in a straightforward style that avoids unnecessary jargon and complex mathematics, the text covers all the essentials of dc power systems for telecommunications: * Detailed descriptions of the seven major system components: Rectifier/charger System, Battery System, Charge Bus, Discharge Bus, Primary Distribution System, Secondary Distribution System, and Voltage Conversion System * Detailed descriptions include design equations, reference tables, block diagrams, and schematics * Design procedures to help readers select the most appropriate power system elements, such as buses, wiring, overcurrent protection, rectifiers, and batteries * Application of the American National Standards Institute's telecommunications industry standards and other relevant standards, practices, and codes * Strategies for dealing with voltage drop in distribution and battery circuits as well as guidance for sizing circuit wiring to meet voltage drop and current rating requirements * In-depth discussions that focus on the types of lead-acid batteries used in telecommunications and their applications Throughout the text, examples demonstrate how theory is applied to real-world telecommunications systems. Some 330 illustrations and more than 100 tables are also provided to help readers visualize and better understand complex systems. Design and application examples and accompanying solutions help readers understand the design process and use their new skills. In summary, engineers and technicians in the telecommunications industry will find all the resources they need to design reliable dc power systems.

An important part of any communication system is its power supply system. The smooth operation of all communications depends on the quality of the power supply and on the operational reliability of the increasingly complex equipment and devices used for this purpose. This book describes current power supply technologies, it explains the circuit techniques using easy-to-understand examples and illustrations. Also covered are automatic control, grounding and protection techniques as well as the design of battery and grounding installations. The book is conceived as a practical guide for those involved in planning installing, comissioning and servicing telecommunication systems, but it is also useful as an introduction to the subject.

Bachelor Thesis from the year 2013 in the subject Electrotechnology, grade: Bachelor, Harbin Engineering University (College of Automation), course: Electronics, language: English, abstract: In recent years, with the development of power electronic devices control theory and the increasing demand of high-quality power supply, power electronics technology has aroused widely attention from scholars. DC-DC power converters are employed in a variety of applications, including power supplies for personal computers, office equipment; spacecraft power systems, laptop, Cell phones, and telecommunications equipment, as well as dc motor drives. In this project a detailed study of zero current switching buck converters is done and also practically implemented in hardware. In addition a mathematical analysis of switching loss occurring in MOSFET's is also presented and a short study of zero voltage switching is also appended. During the hardware implementation the Ton, Toff and operating frequency were found out and thoroughly tuned through the IC555 circuit and various waveforms across inductors, capacitors, load resistor and test points were noted down. In this thesis, the Buck type circuit structure and working principle are analyzed and a DC-DC buck converter is designed. The designed converter uses ZCS scheme and realized the function that the power form is converted from 12V DC voltages to 5 V DC voltages. The output voltage can be adjusted according to the output resistor. The output voltage is stable and the performance of the designed converter is ensured. Simulation study was carried out and effectiveness of the designed converter is verified by simulation results. Finlay design is implemented in hardware and PCB layout as well.

As we increasingly use electronic devices to direct our daily lives, so grows our dependence on reliable energy sources to power them. Because modern electronic systems demand steady, efficient, reliable DC voltage sources—often at a sub-1V level—commercial AC lines, batteries, and other common resources no longer suffice. New technologies also require intricate techniques to protect against natural and manmade disasters. Still, despite its importance, practical information on this critical subject remains hard to find. Using simple, accessible language to balance coverage of theoretical and practical aspects, DC Power Supplies, Power Management and Surge Protection details the essentials of power electronics circuits applicable to low-power systems, including modern portable devices. A summary of underlying principles and essential design points, it compares academic research and industry publications and reviews DC power supply fundamentals, including linear and low-dropout regulators. Content also addresses common switching regulator topologies, exploring resonant conversion approaches. Coverage includes other important topics such as: Control aspects and control theory Digital control and control ICs used in switching regulators Power management and energy efficiency Overall power conversion stage and basic protection strategies for higher reliability Battery management and comparison of battery chemistries and charge/discharge management Surge and transient protection of circuits designed with modern semiconductors based on submicron dimension transistors This specialized design resource explores applicable fundamental elements of power sources, with numerous cited references and discussion of commercial components and manufacturers. Regardless of their previous experience level, this information will greatly aid designers, researchers, and academics who, study, design, and produce the viable new power sources needed to propel our modern electronic world.

General market trends and new regulations to the telecommunication power system are discussed. It was shown, that to meet the new efficiency and power saving requirements, all system and design levels must be considered. Therefore, the focus was on review and comparison of the efficient, power saving solutions from the facility-level power system, to the cabinet level, followed by discussion of the specific requirements and solutions for the key functional blocks. At the facility level, the new high voltage DC bus distribution system and its pros and cons have been described and compared. At the cabinet level, the brief history of power system evolution was shown. Pros and cons of different distribution power architectures were provided. Advantages and challengers of the evolving intermediate bus architecture were discussed in details including the optimal bus voltage analysis and selection. The chapter discussed the requirements for telecom rectifiers and front-end server power supplies: the key functional parts of any data- and telecommunication power system. Special attention was provided to the intermediate bus converters that are an enabling part of any IBA. Their requirements, key parameters, popular topologies, and design challenges were discussed in depth. The design example and test results of 600-W unregulated IBC converter with 48-V input and 5:1 transfer ratio was provided to illustrate and verify the recommended design approaches and solutions.
