2.0 INTRODUCTION  
2.1  
Description  
The Helios DC System 4000/48 is a positive ground, -48 V DC nominal power system consisting of  
one control and distribution cabinet and one or more rectifier cabinets. It is available in capacities  
of 1500, 3000, 4000 and 6000 A. Auxiliary distribution cabinets can be added as required for addi-  
tional distribution. Remote monitoring, temperature compensation and battery disconnect  
options are also available. The 1500, 3000 and 4000 A versions use internal -48 V bussing and  
external BR+ bussing, while the 6000 A version uses overhead bussing. Figure 1 shows a typical  
bottom fed 4000 A system, while Figure 2 shows a typical 6000 A system.

Cables are used for inter-cabinet connections (1500, 3000 and 6000 A systems) or connections to  
the overhead busbars (6000 A system) for ease of expansion on live systems. In a 1500, 3000 or  
4000 A systems, the power system battery return (BR) busbar is mounted externally from the cab-  
inet to facilitate the connections of the battery return cables. In a 6000 A system, a separate BR  
busbar dedicated to the battery returns for the loads is mounted externally from the overhead  
busbar duct to facilitate the connections of the load battery return cables.  
The Helios DC System 4000/48 provides a variety of monitoring and alarm features, such as high/  
low float and high/low voltage alarm, high voltage shutdown, fuse and breaker alarm and rectifier  
failure alarms.  
The Helios DC System 4000/48 uses Helios Rectifiers 200I/48, Helios Rectifiers 200E/48 or Helios  
Rectifiers 100/48 connected in parallel as building blocks to reach the maximum capacities. The  
Helios Rectifiers 200I/48 operate from a 380 V to 415 V three phase, 50 or 60 Hz AC source. The  
Helios Rectifiers 200I/48 operate from a 480 V three phase, 50 or 60 Hz AC source. The Helios  
Rectifiers 100/operate from a 208 V to 240 V single phase, 50 or 60 Hz AC source.  
The 1200 A rectifier cabinet accepts up to six Helios Rectifiers 200I/48 or 200E/48, while the 1000  
A rectifier cabinet accepts up to 10 Helios Rectifiers 100/48.  
The control and distribution cabinet and the auxiliary distribution cabinets are available with  
distribution busbar risers of 2000 A or 3000 A capacity.  
The cabinets are seismic qualified to zone 4 (Bellcore) when anchored to a concrete floor whose  
compressive strength is at least 2.11 kg/mm2 (3000 psi) and when equipped with a seismic kit.  
The cabinets are seismic qualified to zone 2 without the seismic kit.  
The cabinets are equipped with a ventilated, lockable door, a ventilated top cover and two rear  
ventilated panels.  
In many applications, such as with DMS, a consistent single-point ground (SPG) topology must be  
maintained for all associated equipment. The Helios DC System 4000/48 complies with this  
requirements for single-point grounding (the isolation kit is required).  
2.2  
Applications  
The Helios DC System 4000/48 is designed to operate with DMS systems or any other telecommu-  
nication systems whose input is nominal -48 V DC and whose current requirements do not exceed  
6000 A capacity.

3.0 SPECIFICATIONS  
3.1  
Framework  
The Helios DC System 4000/48 uses cabinet type frameworks. The same cabinet design is used for  
the main control and distribution cabinet, the auxiliary distribution cabinets and the rectifier cab-  
inets. The cabinet is always equipped with a front door and door frame (lockable, equipped with  
ground straps, and easily removable for installation or maintenance access), a ventilated top  
cover made of non-flammable plastic, and two ventilated rear cover panels (equipped with ground  
strap and easily removable for installation and maintenance access). Bussing and equipment  
(controller, rectifiers, distribution panels, etc.) are added as required, depending on the use of the  
cabinet. Seismic bracing is also available as options.  
When using the Cable Trough, overhead cabling cannot enter from the front or rear of the system.  
It must be confined to the system foot print and enter at the ends of the lineup.  
The cabinets may be either top or bottom cabled as determined by the location of the bussing.

Heat dissipation  
A Helios DC System 4000/48 rectifier cabinet equipped with six Helios Rectifier 200I/48 or 200E/  
48 will dissipate a maximum of 8,010 watts or 27,350 Btu/hr.  
3.11.5 Floor and Point Loading  
The floor loading is based on a footprint of 600 mm x 600 mm (23.6 in. x 23.6 in.) plus a 30-inch  
aisle width (15 inches front and rear).  
The point loading is based on distributing the cabinet weight over four shims, each with an  
assumed area of 25.8 cm2 (4 in.2).  
See Figure 1 for a typical system configuration for floor and point loading calculations.

Rectifiers  
The rectifiers provide isolated, filtered and regulated DC power, from either a single-phase AC  
source (Helios Rectifier 100/48) or a three-phase AC source (Helios Rectifier 200I/48 or 200E/48),  
for charging a positive grounded battery.  
The nominal output is adjustable over the range of -46 to -59.5 V to float a 23 or 24 cell battery  
string.  
The rectifiers are equipped with AC input and DC output circuit breakers, a digital ammeter,  
potentiometers for the adjustment of thresholds, and LED indicators for alarm indications.  
The rectifiers use high frequency switching technology and forced air-cooling.  
Refer to the appropriate rectifier user manual listed in 6.0 - Reference Documents for detailed  
operation information on the Helios Rectifier 100/48, the Helios Rectifier 200I/48, or the Helios  
Rectifier 200E/48.  
4.5  
AC Junction Box  
WARNING  
PREVENTING ELECTRICAL SHOCKS  
!
WHEN OPENING THE DOOR OR WIRING THE AC INPUT OF  
THE RECTIFIERS INSIDE THE JUNCTION BOX, ENSURE THAT  
THE ASSOCIATED AC BREAKERS, LOCATED IN THE AC  
SERVICE PANEL, ARE IN THE OFF POSITION AND THAT A  
WARNING TAG CLEARLY INDICATES THAT THESE BREAKERS  
ARE TO REMAIN OFF UNTIL THE AC WIRING HAS BEEN  
COMPLETED. DO NOT INSERT FUSES, OR OPERATE CIRCUIT  
BREAKER OR SWITCHES TO ON UNTIL THE WIRING IS  
COMPLETED AND YOU ARE INSTRUCTED TO DO SO.  
The AC junction box is part of the rectifier cabinet used for the Helios Rectifier 200E/48. It is  
located at the top of the cabinet for top fed systems, or at the bottom of the cabinet for bottom fed  
systems.  
The AC junction box provides AC connection interface for up to six rectifiers and facilitates the  
addition and/or replacement of rectifiers in a working system. The AC supply from the AC service  
panel is hard wired inside the box at the time of the initial installation. Detailed cabling and con-  
necting guidelines for the AC junction box can be found in 5.0 - Maintenance.  
The rectifiers are provided with a factory-installed AC cord equipped with a male connector. This  
male connector is plugged into a matching female receptacle at the rear of the AC junction box.  
For the complete procedures for adding or replacing a rectifier, refer to 5.0 - Maintenance. Note  
that caps are provided to protect the unused female receptacles.  
4.6  
4.7  
Distribution Panels  
All distribution panels provide local alarm indication on the panel itself, and alarm extension to  
the controller for additional indication on the controller and the cabinet and further extension to  
remote alarm facilities.  
Terminating Assemblies (Optional)  
Terminating assemblies are optional devices used to facilitate the connecting of loads to distribu-  
tion fuses or circuit breakers larger than 199 A. These assemblies can be used in top fed systems  
only (they cannot be used on bottom fed systems). Each terminating assembly provides connection  
facilities for up to six loads without having to route the cables inside the cabinet during installa-  
tion.  
Two terminating assemblies can be used on an auxiliary distribution cabinet, while only one ter-  
minating assembly can be used on a main control and distribution cabinet.

Helios Monitor 3000/48 (Optional)  
The Helios Monitor 3000/48 is a microprocessor-based unit used to monitor and record power sys-  
tems operational data. The recorded data is accessible locally by means of the front panel or the  
RS-232 port, or remotely through the modem link.  
If an Helios Monitor 3000/48 was supplied with your system, refer to the Monitor 3000 user man-  
ual, SL-60015, for detailed operational characteristics.  
600 A and 1200 Battery Disconnect Units (Optional)  
The 600 A and 1200 A Battery Disconnect Units (BDU) are equipped with a circuit breaker that  
provides for automatic or manual disconnect, but only manual reconnect. The automatic discon-  
nect is intended to serve the low voltage disconnect function to prevent batteries from deep dis-  
charge that could damage them. The circuit breaker has industrial grade contacts to connect and  
disconnect large currents, and it is provided with a relay trip feature.  
If battery disconnect unit(s) were supplied with your system, refer to the user manual, SL-60040,  
for the detailed operational characteristics of the battery disconnect unit.

5.0 MAINTENANCE  
5.1  
General  
The following is a list of general preventive maintenance procedures which should be performed  
periodically as required according to the environmental conditions and customer maintenance  
policy to ensure trouble free operation of the Helios DC System 4000/48:  
• clean all ventilation openings  
• if these are used, clean or replace the air filters on the rectifiers  
• tighten all electrical connections  
• check for hot fuses or breakers (loose, undersized or overloaded)  
• verify alarms and alarm thresholds  
• verify calibration settings  
• verify rectifier settings  
The voltage and alarm settings of the controller and rectifiers are based on the type of batteries  
used with the power system. The recommended settings for various types of batteries can be  
found in SL-60026, Voltage Level Limits for Power Plants, Rectifiers and Controllers. If unlisted  
models of batteries are used, it may be necessary to follow specific customer or manufacturer  
requirements.
