5、 COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL NOT AUTHORIZED FOR FURTHER REPRODUCTION ORDISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM ULINTRODUCTION1 General1.1 Scope1.1.0 Addition of text to 1.1:The requirements in this Outline are to be used as a supplement to the requirements located within IEC61204-7: Low Voltage Power Supplies

6、, D.C. Output Part 7, Annex PS-E.Referenced within IEC 61204-7 is the third edition of the Standard for Safety of Information TechnologyEquipment, UL 60950/CSA C22.2 No. 60950-00. Therefore, the numbering scheme of the clauses andsubclauses located in this Outline correspond to those found in UL 609

7、50/CSA C22.2 No. 60950-00. Therequirements of UL 60950/CSA C22.2 No. 60950-00 are applicable with the exceptions noted in theOutline as replacements, additions, and deletions.The requirements from IEC 61204-7: Low Voltage Power Supplies, D.C. Output Part 7, Annex PS-E,shall apply where details are n

8、ot specifically provided in this Outline.Where a particular subclause of IEC 61204-7 and UL 60950/CSA C22.2 No. 60950-00 is not mentionedin this outline, that subclause shall apply. The relevant requirement, test specification, or note in UL60950/CSA C22.2 No. 60950-00 should be adapted accordingly

9、where this Outline states addition,modification, or replacement,.The block diagram in Figure 1A displays, in single line form, a typical d.c. power distribution system. Therectifiers provide the power for the telecommunications load equipment and maintain the charge (float) inthe batteries. The batt

10、eries and/or the backup generator provide the energy when interruption ofcommercial a.c. power occurs. The d.c. distribution system is to provide energy to the telecommunicationsload equipment with minimal power losses regardless of the state of commercial a.c. power. The d.c.power distribution syst

11、em transmits the energy from the rectifiers or batteries to the telecommunicationsload equipment. Overcurrent protection devices may be provided within the distribution among the rectifieroutputs, batteries, or the input to the primary distribution system. The rigid bus bar, which is typically used,

12、is designed for a minimum voltage drop and is a distribution structure capable of withstanding faultcurrents.The distribution system may be divided into the primary and secondary distribution. The primarydistribution system contains the overcurrent protection devices, the wire, and cable to connect

13、the outputvoltage from the batteries and rectifiers to the secondary distribution system. The overcurrent protectiondevices provide the fault and isolation protection when a short or overload condition occurs on the wire orcable between the primary and secondary distribution systems. The secondary d

14、istribution systemcontains the overcurrent protection devices (such as fuses and circuit breakers), the wire, and cable toconnect the output voltage from the rectifiers and the primary distribution system to thetelecommunications load equipment. The overcurrent protection devices in the secondary di

15、stributionsystem are intended to protect the wire and cable from faults in the secondary distribution system.Equipment faults are normally protected by overcurrent protection devices either within thetelecommunications load equipment of the frames, which contain the telecommunications load equipment

16、,or within the D.C.
