ATIS-0600311.2017 ii Foreword The information contained in this Foreword is not part of this American

3、National Standard (ANS) and has not been processed in accordance with ANSIs requirements for an ANS. As such, this Foreword may contain material that has not been subjected to public review or a consensus process. In addition, it does not contain requirements necessary for conformance to the Standar

4、d. The Alliance for Telecommunication Industry Solutions (ATIS) serves the public through improved understanding between providers, customers, and manufacturers. The Sustainability in Telecom: Energy and Protection (STEP) Committee formerly the Network Interface, Power, and Protection Committee (NIP

5、P) engages industry expertise to develop standards and technical reports for telecommunications equipment and environments in the areas of energy efficiency, environmental impacts, power, and protection. The work products of STEP enable vendors, operators and their customers to deploy and operate re

6、liable, environmentally sustainable, energy efficient communications technologies. STEP is committed to proactive engagement with national, regional, and international standards development organizations and forums that share its scope of work. ANSI guidelines specify two categories of requirements:

7、 mandatory and recommendation. The mandatory requirements are designated by the word shall and recommendations by the word should. Where both a mandatory requirement and a recommendation are specified for the same criterion, the recommendation represents a goal currently identifiable as having disti

8、nct compatibility or performance advantages. Suggestions for improvement of this document are welcomed. They should be sent to the Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions, STEP, 1200 G Street NW, Suite 500, Washington, DC 20005. At the time it approved this document, STEP, which was respo

9、nsible for its development, had the following leadership: K. Biholar STEP Chair (Nokia) J. Krahner, STEP Vice Chair (Cisco) E. Gallo, STEP NPS Chair (Ericsson) J.

10、r distribution. 5.3 Rectifier/Chargers Rectifier/chargers functionally convert ac input power to regulated dc output power. Normally two or more rectifier/chargers are provided with their dc outputs connected in parallel to a common power bus. 5.4 Charge Bus The charge bus shall be designed and inst

11、alled so that equipment is accessible for installation or removal while the bus is electrically hot. Insulated conductors, when used for the charge bus, should be run directly between rectifier/charger output and a terminal plate at the battery terminals, or terminate at a rigid splice plate at one

12、or both ends - i.e., at the rectifier/charger(s) output and battery terminals. 5.5 Battery string A battery string is a group of electro-chemical cells connected in series by intercell connectors. More than one battery string may be provided in parallel to increase the energy storage capacity. 5.6 D

13、ischarge bus The charge bus (see 5.4) and the discharge bus may be combined as one and the same. ATIS-0600311.2017 6 Insulated conductors, when used for the discharge bus, may run directly between the battery terminals and the primary distribution network, or terminate at a rigid splice plate at one

14、 or both ends - i.e., at the battery terminals and at the distribution.

15、shown in Figure 1.

Overcurrent protection devices shall be either fuses or circuit breakers that meet the requirements of 7.3 and 7.4. They are selected to protect conductors. 5.8 Secondary distribution Secondary distributi

The secondary distribution network contains a powerboard that houses the overcurrent protection devices, and the downstream power conductors to the load equipment. Secondary distri

18、bution may be located adjacent to the primary distribution powerboard or remotely on the same or different floors. Secondary distribution powerboards shall meet the requirements of 7.8.4. Overcurrent protection devices shall be either fuses or circuit breakers that meet the requirements of 7.3 and 7
