2000 100A Ferroresonant Rectifier J85503A-1
5 - 2 Installation
Issue 6 October 1998
Bay Mounting
J85503A-1 rectifiers that are shipped as part of a battery plant
are installed in the battery plant racks before shipment.
Rectifiers ordered as individual units are shipped in individual
containers.
The rectifiers mount in Lucent Technologies 26-inch wide bays,
with 24-5/16 inch mounting centers. The bays have drilled holes
on 1-inch centers, in the vertical plane, to accommodate #12-24
threads per inch self-tapping screws. Any restrictions on the
location in the bays is specified in documentation for the specific
power plant.
Size 3/8-16 eyebolts are provided for lifting the rectifier into
position in the plant bay. They should be removed before the
rectifier is permanently mounted in the bay. A supplementary
bay that contains ONLY rectifiers, should be located so that the
backs of the rectifiers are at least three inches from any wall
behind them.
Heat Dissipation
Heat dissipated to the environment is another factor in selecting
a location for the J85503A-1. The maximum heat exhausted by
each 24 and 48-volt rectifier is approximately 1300 BTU/hr and
2050 BTU/hr respectively. The rectifiers use free convective
cooling, where cooler air enters the cabinet through perforations
in the front door and is exhausted through perforations in the top
cover. A minimum of 23 inches in front and 2 inches above the
rectifier must be free of obstructions to allow the door to swing
free and provide for adequate ventilation. In a side-by-side
alignment of rectifiers, the cabinet door opens 90° and projects
approximately 23 inches (59 cm) into the front aisle causing no
interference with adjacent rectifiers.
AC Input Power
The customer is responsible for providing ac power to the
rectifier. Table 5-A gives requirements for the ac power
installation. Separate branch circuits must be provided to each
rectifier to assure reliability of the system. The wiring method
should meet national and local codes. If the codes governing the
installation allow it, Armored Cable (AC), also known at BX,
makes routing the ac wiring within the bay easier.
Caution
Do not block rectifier ventilation openings or damage may
result due to overheating.
