AC input is provided to the rectifier by way of the AC power distribution unit. With the
three-phase AC input for the system and single-phase input for the rectifier, it is
recommended that the rectifiers be evenly connected with the three-phase input voltage
to equalize the input load of the 3-phase AC input. For the phase sequence of the
rectifier within the cabinet, please refer to Fig. 3-12. Besides, when there is no
three-phase power supply, single-phase power supply may be employed, and the three
phases of input are to be connected in parallel.

The rectifier output works in the parallel mode. The output is collected via the copper
busbar first, and then enters the DC power distribution unit. Within the system, 2 to 10
rectifiers can be flexibly configured according to the user’s requirements.

Fig. 2-6 Structure of AC power distribution unit

The AC input switching unit has three input modes: single air switch, dual air switch
and dual contactor.

1. Single air switch input: the system connects 1 line of mains supply, or the
conversion of 2 lines of mains supplies is fulfilled in the AC power distribution
board outside the system. The system AC input is configured with one air
switch.

2. Dual air switch input: supports 2 lines of AC input (users can use 2 lines of mains
supply or 1 line of mains supply and 1 line of diesel generator), the two lines of
AC input are handed over manually. The handover is performed with two air
switches with mechanically interlocking devices. When Mains 1 is normal,
Mains 1 powers the system on while Mains 2 (or the diesel generator) is
standby; when Mains 1 is cut off, you can switch to Mains 2 (or the generator)
manually. During the handover interval, the backup battery provides power
supplies for the system.

3. Dual contactor input: supports 2 lines of AC input (users can use 2 lines of mains
supply or 1 line of mains supply and 1 line of diesel generator according to the
actual needs), the 2 lines of AC input are handed over manually. During
handover, 2 AC contactors with mechanically interlocking devices and control
circuits perform the sampling and handover of 2 lines of input. When Mains 1
-12-

Chapter 2. Structural Features & Work Principles

is normal, it powers the system on while Mains 2 (or the generator) is standby;
when Mains 1 is cut off, the system can switch to Mains 2 (or the generator)
automatically.

Users may choose one of the three input modes in the purchase contract; if not
specified, the standard configuration is the single air switch input.

The standby AC output can be configured according to users’ demands. At most 16P
(16 monopole air switch positions) can be configured with the capacity of 6A ~ 63A.
If not specified by the user, the standard AC output shunt is not configured.

The emergency lighting will be configured when required by users, with the fuse of
6A~63A. The fuse is under the fuse of the battery pack at the back of the cabinet. No
emergency lighting shunt is available in the standard configuration.

The normal configuration of the ZXDU500 500A combined power supply system
employs the upper outlet mode. Of course, the lower outlet mode can be used on users’
demand. In lower wiring mode, at the upper part of the cabinet are AC power
distribution units; in upper wiring mode, at the lower part of the cabinet are DC power
distribution units. The upper outlet mode is adopted for the standard system
configuration.

When the system rectifiers are not fully configured, they shall be evenly connected
with the three-phase input, with basically the same number of rectifiers connected to
each phase to achieve the balance of the three-phase input.

The ZXDU500 500A combined communications power supply system has a high
lightning-proof capability. The lightning arrester has a display window. When the
window is green, it indicates that the arrester is normal; when the window is red, it
indicates that the arrester is out of service and needs replacing. The supervision unit
monitors the lightning arrester. When it is faulty, the supervision unit will alarm the
maintenance personnel to replace it. When doing so, the power of the arrester has not
to be cut off, directly plug-in/plug-out it instead.

Note: Check the lightning arresters carefully before and after the rainy season
every year and after each lightning.

2.5 DC power distribution unit


The DC power distribution unit implements functions of DC load allocation, and
access of 2 lines of battery. (A third line can be connected on user’s demand.)

2.5.1 Working principles

The rectifier output employs parallel connection and enters the DC distribution unit via
the copper busbar.

The DC power distribution unit provides the access of two lines of battery (or
expanded to three lines) and no more than 31 lines of the DC load output (DC output
lines and capacities can be adjusted according to users’ demands). A 400A fuse is
configured in the battery’s return circuit to guard against the battery damage owing to
the short-circuit.

Each group of DC output is under the control of one DC contactor.

The whole system features the two-stage power-down, the load shunt in the front of the
cabinet is the load group of the second-stage power-down, and that in the back of the
cabinet is the load group of the first-stage power-down. The system will shift off the
loads in two stages according to the voltages set by the user and thus prolong the
working duration of important loads; meanwhile, it can switch off all loads when the
battery has been discharged to the maximum, so as to protect the battery. Both the load
and battery output ends are attached with fuses or air switches for protection.

The working principle of the DC power distribution unit is shown in Fig. 2-10. Refer to
Appendix C for the electrical working principles.

2.5.2 Structure of DC power distribution unit

At the upper front part of the cabinet, the DC power distribution unit has the DC output
load shunt, and has the DC output load shunt, battery fuse shunt and emergency
lighting fuse shunt at the upper rear part of the cabinet.

The DC output can be of three combination modes: fuses, air switches, and fuses plus
air switches. It can be configured according to users’ demands. If not specified,
standard configuration is employed, i.e., fuse combination.

The system’s DC power distribution features the two-stage power-down, the load shunt
in the front of the cabinet is the load shunt of the second-stage power-down, and that in
the back of the cabinet is the load shunt of the first-stage power-down.

1. Fuses combination

The load output shunts of the DC power distribution are all fuses. The fuse
combination is the standard configuration of the system, and the specific
configuration is listed in Table 2-4.

-18-
-
Chapter 2. Structural Features & Work Principles

100A 2 lines
DC load output
63A 1 line
32A 1 line

For the first-stage shutdown: 1 line of 100A and 160A respectively;


Second-stage shutdown: 1 line of 160A, 100A, 63A and 32A respectively.

The fuse combination of DC power distribution is shown in Fig. 2-11.

Combination of second-stage power shutdown

Combination of first-stage power shutdown

Fig. 2-11 Fuse combination of DC power distribution

The capacity of the fuse combination may be chosen from 6A ~ 160A on users’
demands. Under the circumstances of no change of DC output structure, the
maximum configuration of the fuse combination can be expanded from 6 lines

-19-
-
ZXDU500 500A Combined Power Supply System User’s Manual

to 15 lines of tributary output ranging from 6A to 160A; Second-stage


shutdown: 10 lines maximally; first-stage shutdown; 5 lines maximally (another
7 lines can be added by adding more structured components.)

The DC power distribution unit at the back of the cabinet has two battery shunts
(max. 3 shunts), each of which connects a 400A fuse. If the emergency lighting
shunt is configured, its fuse is in the DC power distribution unit at the back of
the cabinet.

2. Air switch combination

The DC load shunt outputs are all air switches.

According to the conditions of the structural parts, air switch combination can
be composed of 4, 8, 9, and 12 to 31 lines; the capacity can be selected between
6A-63A; second-stage shutdown: 22 lines maximally; first-stage shutdown: 9
lines maximally (another 18 lines can be added by adding more structural
parts.)

3. Mixed assembly of fuse and air switch

Some shunts of the DC output combination are fuses, while the others are air
switches. Various combinations of fuses and air switches can be configured
upon users’ demands.

The DC power distribution unit of the system can be configured flexibly; and
an optimal configuration can be made according to users’ requirement.

2.5.3 Functional characteristics

1. Protection function

(1) Battery loop, load output loop and emergency lighting loop are all under the
protection of fuses or air switches;

(2) There are alarms for system output over-/under-voltage; and alarms for broken
battery fuse, broken fuses for lines of loads or broken air switches as well;

(3) Battery over-discharge protection and second-stage shutdown function.

2. Others

(1) Two lines of battery can be connected and a third line too if necessary;

-20-
-
Chapter 2. Structural Features & Work Principles

(2) Three lines of battery current and total load output current detection;

(3) One line of emergency lighting output (if requested by the user).

3. Grounding

There is a grounding busbar in the AC power distribution part at the back of the
cabinet, and a copper grounding bolt (no less than M8) at the base of the cabinet.
During installation, connect the grounding bolt to the user’s grounding busbar
with a copper wire.

2.6 Supervision unit

2.6.1 Overview

The supervision unit is responsible for the comprehensive management of AC power


distribution, DC power distribution, rectifier sets and battery of the system. The
supervision unit collects running data and monitors the working status of the system on
a real time basis. When the system fails, the supervision unit gives audible and visual
alarms and provides necessary protection measures. The profile of the supervision unit
is illustrated in Fig. 2-12.

Text

Fig. 2-12 Profile of supervision unit

The LCD and LED indicators on the panel of the supervision unit can display the
system’s output current, output voltage, battery current and all kinds of alarm
information. In addition, necessary parameters can be set through the keyboard on the
panel to fulfill necessary control. The running data and working status of the system,
instead of just being reflected locally, can also be reported to the upper-level
supervision unit through transmission of a certain mode.
-21-
-
ZXDU500 500A Combined Power Supply System User’s Manual

The supervision unit also receives commands from the upper-level machine, so as to
query and control the system to realize the “3-tele” functions. The supervision unit
adopts English interfaces, and it can provide a visualized display of the working status
of each part of the power supply system. Indicators show the working status of each
part: power supply working status and alarm status.

When fault occurs to the system, both the alarm indicator and the buzzer generate
audible and visual alarm signals with the instructive alarm information displayed on
the LCD.

The power supply system can work without the supervision unit, in which case,
however, it will lose the “3-tele” function and the battery management function. Then,
in the system, the battery stays in the float charging status. Close attention must be paid
to the discharging of the battery.

2.6.2 Structure

The supervision unit is composed of seven boards connected with flat cables. The
seven boards are ZXDU150-CVT, ZXDU300-LED, ZXDU300-RLY,
ZXDU300-BACK, ZXDU45-PMS, ZXD-CSU-POWER and ZXDU300-EMB.

1. Front panel of the supervision unit

The front panel is composed of LCD, buttons and indicators. The schematic
diagram of the front panel is illustrated in Fig. 2-13, the indicators and buttons
are illustrated in Fig. 2-14, while the indicator instructions are shown in Table
2-5.

through the relay output board ZXDU300-RLY (RLY for short below) of the
monitoring unit. RLY provides eight alarm relay contact signals for the output
of alarm signals. The alarm signal of each alarm relay contact can be defined
through “System parameter setting” of the monitoring unit. The schematic
diagram of the alarm relay contact output interface position of the RLY board is
illustrated in Fig. 2-17.

(1) Application cases

Instead of the full real-time data of the power supply, the user needs only to
know a few simple alarm parameters. Alarms of the power supply system can
be reported through other devices.

(2) Hardware architecture

The RLY board is composed of eight small relays, whose action is controlled by
the monitoring unit. The relays provide eight output contacts in the mode of
alarm relay contacts, each contact having a normally-on and a normally-closed
contact (respectively marked as NO and NC). The normally-on contact and
normally closed contact are of two different groups of the same relay, without
electrical connection between them. Each contact provides an alterable output
-31-

ZXDU500 500A Combined Power Supply System User’s Manual

status to indicate the specific alarm information. Which contact is to be used is


up to the user.

(3) Hardware installation

The RLY board is on the top of the rack supervision unit. All that has to be done
is connect X10 of the monitoring unit BACK board with X1 of the RLY board
with a 10-core flat cable.

(4) Operations

After hardware installation, power-on and enable the monitoring unit to work
(see Section 4.4). Enter the submenu of “System parameter setting”, move the
cursor to the item “Alarm relay contact corresponding to failure category.”
Setting interface of this item is shown in Fig. 2-18.

Refer to Section 4.4.6 for the method of setting parameters. In the interface, the
“Main rectifier air switch off” is responsible for setting of alarm type, and there
are altogether 20 types of system alarms available for choice; “Alarm relay
contact 1” is the chosen position for the alarm relay contact, and there are
“Alarm relay contact 1” to “Alarm relay contact 9” for choice. Eight relay
interfaces are on the RLY board, while the remaining one is in the socket X11
of the monitoring unit’s rear panel. Press “OK” after the setting to determine
through which relay the corresponding alarm is to be output. When an alarm
occurs to a relay, the relay will react and the output status changes.

(5) Description of wiring

K1~K8 in Fig. 2-17 respectively correspond to eight relay positions, where NO


in the upper row corresponds to the relay’s normally-on contact while NC in the
lower row, the normally closed contact. For relays adopting two groups of
contacts, there is no electrical connection between the normally-on contact and
normally closed contact. For the wiring, lead out two normally-on signal lines

2.6.3 Function of the monitoring unit

1. Man-machine interface

The man-machine interface is composed of LCD and buttons. The foreground


adopts English operation interface. Users can, on the man-machine interface,
set the parameters for the system, so as to display the running parameters of
various parts of the system.

2. Communications

The monitoring unit provides RS232 communications interface and can realize
centralized monitoring via Modem or in other modes. It reports on-site data and
status to the background PC and receives control instructions from the
background PC and executes them.

(1) Local supervision and control: provides the standard RS232 interface to connect
with a local PC.

(2) Remote supervision and control: provides the standard RS233 interface and
connects it to the centralized maintenance background via Modem.

-33-
-
ZXDU500 500A Combined Power Supply System User’s Manual

(3) Communication with the rectifier is fulfilled in the analog mode.

(4) Communications with other monitoring systems: provides RS232 interface.

3. Data collecting and processing

The signals collected and processed are as follows:

(1) AC power distribution unit

The signals to be collected and processed by the AC power distribution unit


include: AC voltage U, V, W phases; AC phase U current; working status of AC
contactor; status of AC input air switch; working status of AC lightning arrester.

(2) DC power distribution unit

The signals to be collected and processed by the DC power distribution unit


include: DC output voltage; 3 lines of battery voltage; 3 lines of battery current;
1 line of general load current; load output fuse or air switch status; battery fuse
status; control of two lines of DC contactors.

(3) Rectifier part

The signals to be collected and processed by the rectifier include: alarm


information of the rectifier; switch control of the rectifier; equalized/floating
charge status control of the rectifier.

4. Alarm management and protective functions

It processes the real-time data according to the user’s configuration. When


anything abnormal happens, alarm will be reported automatically to the
background PC, and the existing faults will be recorded for saving. Users can
interrogate the alarms that happen most recently directly from the monitoring
unit. The monitoring unit can, when any alarm happens, automatically page the
maintenance personnel.

5. Battery management function

Battery management covers two parts:

(1) Battery charging management function

The monitoring unit manages the process of battery charging in two modes, i.e.,
cycled equalized charging, and power-on equalized charging again after power
failure. The cyclic equalized charging means that the system can automatically

-34-
-
Chapter 2. Structural Features & Work Principles

perform equalized charging according to the cycles set by users. The power-on
equalized charging after power off means that the battery discharges after
power off, and automatically performs charging management to the battery
pack when the power is resumed.

(2) Battery protection

With mains supply’s breaking down, the loads will be powered by batteries;
when the battery voltage lowers to a certain degree (set by the user), alarm will
be given; when the battery further discharges till the battery voltage gets lower
than the first-stage power shut-down value set by users, a group of minor loads
can be cut off as per the user’s setup; when the battery further discharges to the
ultimate protective voltage (second-stage power shut-down voltage), cut off
another group of loads, so as to protect the battery from damage due to
over-discharge. Thus, a relatively longer duration is ensured for the major loads
after power failure and at the same time the batteries can be protected against
damages due to over discharge.

6. Control function

It is allowed to control, based on the foreground user’s operation or control


commands of the background PC, the ON/OFF and equalized charge/float
charge working status of the rectifier, as well as to control the rectifier output
voltage according to the user’s demand.

2.6.4 Check precision

1. AC

The check precision of AC voltage is ±3VAC, and that of AC current is ±2A.

2. DC

The check precision of DC current (rectifier output current, battery current and
load current) is ±3A; while the check precision of DC voltage (battery voltage
and output voltage) is ±0.3V.

3. Temperature/humidity

Temperature measurement precision ≤ +/-3°C

Humidity measurement precision ≤ +/-5%

-35-
-
ZXDU500 500A Combined Power Supply System User’s Manual

4. Detection of switch parameters: the switch parameter check and alarm report must
be 100% accurate without false report or omission.

2.6.5 Alarm

1. Alarm setting

The user can set the upper and lower alarming limits of the detected power
supply system data according to real circumstances.

2. Alarm management

The system has perfect alarm judging conditions, which ensures that not only
the alarm judgment is reliable but also the alarms are reported in real time.

3. Alarm mode

The monitoring unit emits audible and visual alarm signals to prompt the
maintenance personnel, and at the same time, sends the alarm information to the
background PC via the RS232 communication interface. The maintenance
personnel can view and handle the alarm information and when he pushes a
button, the alarm sound disappears. At the same time, the alarm indicator still
suggests the alarm status. Only after the alarm status totally disappears will the
indicator light go out.

2.7 Communications networking schemes


The ZXDU500 500A combined power supply system has flexible and diversified
communications and networking modes, which mainly cover the following.

2.7.1 Simple RS232 serial port mode

The monitoring unit and the background are connected directly via the serial port. This
is the most direct and convenient way of monitoring, but it is largely restricted by
practical conditions. Usually, it is required that the distance between the background
monitoring host and the power supply monitored should not be wider than 15 meters,
as illustrated in Fig. 2-20.

2.7.2 Dial-up mode (MODEM mode)

The monitoring background exchanges data with the monitoring unit in the dial-up
mode using a MODEM. This mode requires that the monitoring background be
connected with two Modems and the monitoring unit, with one Modem. Of the two
Modems connected to the monitoring background, one is responsible for data querying,
while the other, receiving the alarm data of the combined power supply system, as
illustrated in Fig. 2-21. This mode features the optimal versatility and is applicable to a
majority of networking modes.

2.7.3 ZXJ10 digital SPC switch mode

In this mode, networking is performed through the monitoring platform of ZXJ10


Digital SPC Switch (ZXJ10 for short below) developed by ZTE Corporation. The
networking and connections are illustrated in Fig. 2-22. For a single combined power
supply system, this mode is similar to the simple RS232 serial port mode.

Fig. 2-22 Monitoring in ZXJ10 mode

The data under the power supply monitoring is transferred through the data channel of
ZXJ10. This mode is desirable for users using ZXJ10 as it can save the networking cost
(by sharing a set of monitoring hardware) and it is more reliable than the Modem mode
in terms of data transmission. The serial port of the power supply is connected to serial
port 2 of MP of ZXJ10, while the background may either share a computer with ZXJ10
maintenance platform or use a separate computer, which must be connected using the
network cable and run the NE2000 driver. The characteristics of the networking mode:
real-time, simple and economical networking.

2.7.4 SCM mode

The SCM signal conversion module is a set of intelligent equipment of proprietary


intellectual property by ZTE, which mainly applies to the centralized monitoring
networking of GSM base station. It is mainly used to join the point-to-point service
digital channels provided by microwave or optical fiber equipment into a network, to
perform centralized monitoring on the power supply, environment and other equipment
of the base station. Such an application is especially suitable for the networking in
other environments having the point-to-point service digital channel but without

-38-
-
Chapter 2. Structural Features & Work Principles

enough telephone lines.

The SCM signal conversion module features high reliability and wide range of
applications. Besides, the equipment has several standard interfaces applicable to
RS232, RS422 and RS485.

The SCM mode can combine the power supplies to be monitored into a tree network,
and realize centralized monitoring on various power supply devices within this network
via the monitoring center. The SCM networking model is illustrated in Fig. 2-23.

For the system running on the network, SCM is a remote transmission mode; for a
single combined power supply system, this mode is similar to the simple RS232 serial
port mode.

2.7.5 Access network mode

In addition to the above-mentioned four monitoring modes, there is the “Access


network communication and networking function” in the system. That is, connect serial
port X6 of the power supply system to the serial port of the ZTE access network
equipment, which has a special power supply monitoring software to monitor the
power supply system remotely. We shall introduce the system topology of the AN
-39-
-
ZXDU500 500A Combined Power Supply System User’s Manual

networking mode.

In the remote user unit system, there exist the environment monitoring system and
integrated power supply monitoring system. Both are connected to the CSV board of
the access network system via the RS232 serial interface, and transmit the
bi-directional monitoring data to the remote monitoring and maintenance platform via
the CSV board. For the power supply monitoring system, there may exist two
possibilities which are described below respectively.

1. Both the power supply monitoring system and environment monitoring system
exist in the system, where Environment Monitoring Unit (EMU) and the CSV
board are directly connected, while the power supply monitoring system and
the Environment Monitoring Unit (EMU) are connected, as illustrated in Fig.
2-24.

2. If there is only the power supply monitoring in the system, the power supply
monitoring system will be directly connected to the CSV board, as illustrated in
Fig. 2-25.

monitoring system, which does not know or care about its existence; Second, no
modification is necessary for the communications protocols of the power
monitoring system in any one of the situations mentioned above. In addition,
the power can also be monitored via the PPS board that connects with the
system, as shown in Figures 2-26 and 2-27.

2.7.6 CDMA mode

For a single combined power supply system, this mode is similar to the simple RS232
mode.

Because there are many CDMA cell stations which are scattered, it is not practical and
economical for the combined power supply system itself to provide the data channel
for maintenance and monitoring. Therefore, communication can be done between the
power supply monitoring background and foreground via the CDMA internal
communication channel for daily maintenance and monitoring. The ZXDU500 500A
combined power supply system provides the CDMA networking mode.

First, the power supply foreground can be connected via serial lines with the CDMA
base transceiver station of the power supply, so as to realize data exchange; second, the
power supply monitoring background shall also communicate with CDMA background,
which will not only establish data channels between the foreground and the
background of the power supply, but also timely reflect the monitoring information to
the CDMA background operation and maintenance station. Communication between
-41-

the power supply background and CDMA background is realized through the
communication system running CDMA at the power supply monitoring background
and the corresponding TCP proxy program. The connection of the entire system is
illustrated in Fig. 2-28.

3.2 Basic requirements for power supply system installation


Before the installation of the power supply equipment, ZTE Corporation shall, together
with its local customer service center and user representatives, fulfill project and
environment survey, and, according to the actual situations of the site, fill in the Survey
Report on ZXDU Combined Power Supply System Project, and Acceptance Report on
ZXDU Combined Power Supply System Environment. If the conditions on the user site
fall under the minimum requirements on safe running of equipment as stipulated in the
survey report, the customer should be required to improve the site conditions
accordingly. The equipment installation shall resume only after the conditions are
compliant with the requirements of normal and safe running of the equipment.

3.2.1 Environment requirements

For environment requirements, please refer to the stipulations in Acceptance Report on


ZXDU Combined Power Supply System Environment.

3.2.2 Power supply requirements

1. General principles

The communications equipment should adopt mains supply as the primary


power supply. We should configure diesel generators and standby battery pack
according to the conditions of local power supply. The centralized power supply
is recommended for the AC power supply system consisting of mains and
self-contained diesel generators, while 3-phase 5-line system or single-phase
3-line system is recommended for low-voltage AC power supply system. The
self-contained diesel generators are preferably the automatic version.

When the load power factor falls under 0.7, the reactive power compensation
equipment should be installed to push the power factor up over 0.8.

The AC power cable should have copper cores and its sectional area should be
consistent with the load. When the wiring distance is less than 30m, the
cost-effective current density (with the value of 2.5A/mm2~4.0A/mm2) will be
used to calculate the sectional area. The outdoor power cable should be
directly buried or buried in tubing, and preferably laid away from signal cables.

2. Capacity requirements

(1) Power transformer


-44-
-
Chapter 3. Equipment Installation

The ZXDU500 500A combined power supply is a switching power supply,


which, for its special features, requires a larger redundancy in power supply. If
the power transformer capacity is small, other equipment so powered may fail
to work normally. If it is a special transformer, the capacity is calculated at full
configuration (500A) and should be higher than 65kVA. Besides, in
consideration of power consumption of AC standby output and air-conditioning
of the system, a higher capacity is recommended, and the selection should
follow the specifications upwards.

(2) Diesel generator set

If the load of the rectifier exceeds 30 percent of the capacity of the power set,
the voltage waveform will be seriously distorted when the high order harmonic
wave current generated by the rectifier passes the stator winding of the
synchronous power set, which will bring forward impacts of two aspects: on the
one hand, it will cause instable running and mechanical vibration; on the other
hand, the harmonic wave current will result in an overheated generator, and
speed up the insulation aging of the generator. It not only harms the generator,
but also affects the stable running of the power supply system, that is, the
vibration problem frequently encountered nowadays. As a result, the power
supply load shall not exceed 30% of the generator capacity, the load of the
power supply shall be calculated as per the existing power, and the simplified
calculation is as shown below: output voltage (calculated according to 60V) ×
output current (calculated according to the final configuration) × 2. The
selection of generators should also take their power factor and excitation into
consideration, while those with brushless fundamental wave excitation are not
recommended.

3.2.3 Safety and protection requirements

1. Lightningproof and surge protection requirements

Reliable lightning protection facilities must be installed for buildings with


communications equipment. In order to maintain normal performance of the
system, a lightning-proof device, or level B lightning-proof device, should
preferably be installed somewhere before the AC mains is introduced into the
power system. The level-B lightning arrester should be installed at the expense
of the user, and the recommended model is the ZXDU-LPU dedicated
-45-
-
ZXDU500 500A Combined Power Supply System User’s Manual

lightning-protection unit produced by ZTE. If possible, the level B lightning


arrester should be installed somewhere 12m or more in front of the input end of
the power distribution cabinet. It is required that the cables from the level B
lightning-proof device installation site to the AC power distribution unit be
indoor cables, thus to ensure that the section of the cables is not directly
exposed to lightning strike. In the installation of the level B lightning-proof
device by users, attention should be paid to the cable diameter and length on the
lightning-proof device, and the lead sectional area should be no less than
16mm2, while the lead length is the shorter the better, so is the case for the
grounding cable of the lightning-proof unit.

The lightning-proof device and grounding cables installation are shown in Fig.
3-2.

-46-

Chapter 3. Equipment Installation

blocks, with the grounding resistance conforming to the specifications in Table


3-1.

The basic approach of joint grounding is to short the grounding busbar and DC
working ground of the power system with the user grounding busbar. As far as
those base stations without independent user grounding busbars are concerned,
the DC working ground access points (positive busbar or negative busbar) of
the power supply system can be regarded as the user grounding busbar. The
lightning ground and protection ground should be connected to the grounding
busbar of the power system in the vicinity, as shown in Fig. 3-2.

The multiple grounding of AC zero lines should not share the grounding busbar
or grounding grid of the equipment, and a separately buried grounding cable is
recommended for the multiple grounding of zero lines. The protective
grounding cables in the 3-phase/5-line system and the single-phase/3-line
system can be directly introduced into the grounding busbar of the power
supply system, or the protective ground connection terminal of the AC power
distribution cabinet.

3.4 Work of supporting facilities of the power supply system

3.4.1 Battery installation

The battery installation of the power supply system is to connect the battery into the
power supply system, which is usually the responsibility of the battery vendors.

The installation tools of battery pack have to undergo insulation treatment, in which the
plastic battery housing and output end should be kept intact. The batteries to be
installed layer by layer have to be connected by respective layers before inter-layer
connection. Leave the charging/discharging cable unconnected for the time being.

3.4.2 Laying of power cables

3.5 Unpacking and acceptance

3.5.1 Shipping

The ZXDU500 500A combined power supply system is packed as required, bearing
waterproof and shockproof signs for shipping. When the equipment is delivered to
the office party, it should be handled with care and guarded against sunlight exposure
and rainwater.

1. The physical dimensions of the wooden case (cabinet) are


2200mm×760mm×870mm (L×W ×H). Proper handling tools and weight lifting
machinery (such as forklift) appropriate for such dimensions should be
provided.

2. As the wooden cases are large in size, the place for their unpacking has to be
determined beforehand (taking into consideration the route from the unpacking
place to that of installation, the shorter the better), and prepare the necessary

in the equipment room, the cabinet is usually installed by fixing it directly on


the ground with bolts.

3. Specify the hole site and fix the expansion bolts

1) Specify the installation hole position

After the position for installing the cabinet is specified, the position for the
installation holes should be specified according to the cabinet position and its
fixing holes, and the central point for the installation holes should be specified
as well. If a bracket is used in installation, the hole site should be specified
according to the installation hole dimensions of the bracket and that on the
ground.

The installation dimension of the cabinet is shown in Fig. 3-5.

Determine the position of the installation hole for the cabinet according to the
size of the fixing hole as shown in Fig. 3-5. After determination of the
installation hole location, use the impact drill to drill the installation hole. The
aperture for fixing the cabinet is 14mm. The fixing bolt is typically M10×80,

To install the rectifier, seize the handle with one hand, and hold the rectifier with the
other, slowly push it into the rectifier slot, so that the integrated plug of the rectifier can
be correctly and reliably connected to the corresponding socket.

Before plugging the rectifier into the slot, the mechanic lock switch on the panel of the
rectifier should be set to the left side and then push the rectifier slowly in. When it can
no longer be pushed in, it means that the rectifier has reached the first limiting position.
At the time, it is necessary to move the mechanical switch to the rectifier on the right
before going on to insert the rectifier until the bottom, i.e., the second limiting position.
Move the mechanical switch to the position on the left, so that the rectifier is “locked”.

To uninstall the rectifier, move the mechanical switch to the right, slightly unplug the
rectifier outside for about 1cm, move the mechanical switch on the panel of the
rectifier to the left to extract the whole rectifier.

3.8 Electrical connection


The internal lines of the combined power supply system have been connected prior to
leaving factory, and the electrical connections on the spot include the following:
connection of AC input lines, connection of DC load lines, connection of battery cables,
connection of battery temperature sampling lines, connection of grounding wires,
connection of communications lines with centralized monitoring function (users shall
provide telephone lines when centralized monitoring is performed via MODEM).

When upward wire routing is adopted for the system, the overhead wiring shall be
undertaken; when downward wire routing is adopted, hidden grooves shall be
employed for wiring. The principle for electrical connection is safety and reliability.

Chapter 3. Equipment Installation

3.8.1 Connection of AC input lines

The wiring for AC power distribution unit includes the connection of AC input lines,
the connection of AC standby output, and the connection of emergency lighting lines.
The structure of the AC power distribution unit is shown in Fig. 3-14.

AC input 1 AC input 2
Y G R B Y G R B

U1 V1 W1 N U2 V2 W2 N

Fig. 3-14 Line connection of AC 3-phase input

3-phase and 5-line input is employed for the system’s AC input lines, the leading in
ends of the input phase conductors are U1, V1 and W1 terminals of the AC input line
banks, with the colors of the connection lines corresponding to yellow, green and red;
the leading in end for the zero line is terminal N, and the connection line is blue; the
leading in end of the grounding line is the grounding busbar at the back of the cabinet,
and the color of the connection line corresponds to the yellow-green one.

If users use 2 lines of mains supply or 1 line of mains supply plus 1 line of oil engine,
connect the phase conductors of the first line of mains supply to U1, V1 and W1
terminals of the input connection busbar, and connect the phase conductors of the oil
engine or the other line of mains supply to U2, V2 and W2 terminals. The zero line is
connected to terminal N, and all the grounding cables to the grounding busbar.

The diameter of the lead-in line should be selected based on the actual load and battery

-63-
-
ZXDU500 500A Combined Power Supply System User’s Manual

conditions. A typical choice is the copper-core soft cable with the sectional area
16mm2~35mm2. Remove the insulation layer from the connection ends of the input
phase line and the zero line that are connected with the cabinet, and insert them into the
corresponding terminals of the input busbar and tighten them.

The grounding cables are connected to the grounding copper busbar on the lower left
side of the cabinet back. During connection, the line ends should be crimped or welded
with copper connection terminals of proper sizes.

If the user only has a single phase AC power supply, then the connection terminals U,
V and W of the input 3-phase phase lines should be short-circuited, while the position
of the zero line connection remains unchanged, and now the AC input lines should be
thickened accordingly. Protection devices such as switches or fuses should be equipped
before the AC input lines are led into the equipment. Make sure the neutral lines are put
through and will not be short-circuited in any case. In the areas of frequent lightning
strikes, the line inlet of mains and equipment buildings should be fixed with good
multi-level lightning-proof system to maintain the normal and safe system operation.

The AC standby output phase lines are connected to the standby output air switch,
while the zero lines are connected to the zero line copper busbar on the lower right side
of the cabinet back. Screw the terminals of the phase lines onto the air switch after
stripping off the insulation layer, crimp or weld the zero line terminals with copper
terminals of proper sizes, and then screw them onto the zero line busbar, as shown in
Figure 3-14. The output fuse of emergency lighting is below the battery fuse of DC
power distribution unit. The negative and positive ends of emergency lighting lines
should be connected respectively to the emergency lighting fuse and working ground
copper busbar.

Note:

1. The AC drop lines are high-voltage active lines, be sure to power off the AC
input during operation, and add temporary prohibition signs to the
switches not allowed to be used during operation;

2. Fully insulate the AC line terminals, the contacts and other exposed positions;
there shall not be any joint between the lines.

3.8.2 Connection of DC load lines

Corresponding cross section areas of the DC output lines should be selected according
-64-

Chapter 3. Equipment Installation

to the load current. To connect the fuse and the busbar, use connection copper lugs of
appropriate sizes crimped or welded at the line terminals for connection; strip the
insulation layer of the connection stubs for connection of the air switch.

The red DC load cables corresponds to the positive output (working ground), and the
blue to the negative output. The negative pole of DC output is connected to the
corresponding load output, and the positive pole is connected to the positive copper bus
bar (working ground) at the top of the cabinet in the back. The positions and method
for line connection are illustrated in Fig. 3-15 and Fig. 3-16.

The installation flow of the DC load lines:

1. The selection and wiring of the load lines should meet the requirements of the
engineering design, and the connection terminals of load lines should be
prepared properly. Use connection terminals for the cables connected to the
fuse, and directly crimp the cables connecting to the breaker. Each load line
should bear corresponding signs.

2. Disconnect the corresponding load fuse or breaker.

3. Connect the load working grounding cable on the busbar of the power supply
working ground busbar.

4. Connect the load lines with the fuse base or the output ends of breaker.

Note:

1.
. 1. To add DC loads with power on, prevent short-circuit accidents during
operation, and take corresponding measures for human body insulation;

2.
. 2. As the system has the second-stage power shutdown function, make sure
to connect the secondary power supply equipment to the first-stage
shutdown group, and connect the main power supply equipment to
second-stage shutdown group. The DC load shunt at the cabinet front is
the second-stage power shutdown shunt.

3.8.3 Connection of battery cables

The copper lugs at the battery connection lines and joints are thicker and larger than the
load lines, and their colors should be identical with those of the DC load output lines. If
the system is configured with multiple battery sets, the conductors of each battery set
should be connected respectively.

The specific steps are as follows:

1. As per the given battery capacity and the maximum charging current, select the
appropriate wires (often with a cross sectional area of over 50mm2), correctly
mark the battery connection lines, the connection terminals and the positive and
negative poles;

2. Remove the battery fuse and place the battery connecting line properly;

3. Connect the positive busbar of the power system and the DC –48V on the battery

-66-
-
Chapter 3. Equipment Installation

fuse respectively to the positive and negative poles of the battery, be careful not
to make a reverse connection;

4. Switch on 1 to 2 rectifiers after the system is powered on. After the output enters
into normal operation, use the fuse extractor to insert the battery fuse.

Note: when the rectifier is started up, the fuse can be inserted only after normal
input. This way, the voltage difference between two ends of the fuse will be too
small to cause sparks, otherwise it will.

3.8.4 Connection of grounding cables

It is advisable to lead out the protective grounding and working grounding cables
separately and connect them to different points on the grounding block, or they may be
led out separately and connected to the grounding busbar in concentration. The
grounding of the combined power supply system must be proper in compliance with
the grounding standards of the telecommunications equipment.

1. Connection of lightning protection ground

The connection has been completed before exworks, on the spot, multimeters
must be used to measure whether the PE terminals of lightning protection and
the grounding bolts of the lightning protection ground within the cabinet have
been short circuited. If yes, it means that the connection of lightning protection
ground has been completed; if not, it is necessary to perform installation of the
lightning protection ground. The copper-core cables with a cross section area of
over 16mm2 should be used as the lightning-protection ground cables, and
during wiring the cables should be separated from other working cables (not
grounding cables) as far as possible. When laying the lightning-protection
cables, be careful not to increase the line inductance caused by too many bends.
One end of the lightning-protection ground cable is connected to the grounding
busbar, while the other to the PE terminal of the lightning arrester. The line
connection of grounding bolts is illustrated in Fig. 3-17.

sectional area of the load branch cables, and it is recommended that the
minimum sectional area be no less than 16mm2. One end of the working
ground is connected to the working ground busbar (positive busbar), while the
other end is connected to the user ground busbar via the connection terminal.

3. Protective ground connection

The protective ground and the lightning protection ground of the combined
power supply system have been connected together before equipment delivery.
The sectional area of the protective ground connecting line should be no less
than half of the sectional area of the AC input with the minimum sectional area
of 16mm2. Normally multi-core copper cables are used, both ends of which are
crimped with copper connection terminals of appropriate sizes, one end is
connected to the grounding busbar at the back of the cabinet, while the other
end is connected to the user grounding busbar.

4.1 Starting up and shutting down the system

4.1.1 Check before start-up

1. Confirm that the input switch outside the equipment is off.

2. Disconnect the mains input breaker, rectifier air switch of the distribution layer,
and air switch of the standby AC output, and then turn on the lightning
protection switch. Be sure that the power supply switch, battery, load fuse, and
load breaker on the back panel of the monitoring unit have been disconnected.

3. Check whether the AC drop lines, the grounding lines, and the distribution lines
inside the cabinet are correctly and reliably connected, and whether the bolts
are loosened.

4. Measure the resistance between the AC input and output phase lines, between the
phase lines and zero lines, and between the phase lines and ground of the AC
input breaker (or contactor), and be sure of no short circuit.

5. Use the multimeter to check if there is any short circuit between the output port of
the standby AC output breaker and the zero line.

6. Use the multimeter to check if the AC voltage of system power supply is within
the required range.

4.1.2 Debugging procedures

The cabinet, the rectifier and the monitoring unit are exposed to concussions to some
extent in long distance transportation and re-assembly. And after the power system is
reassembled, assembly or connection error may exist, so if the whole system is hastily
powered on and started, major accidents might occur, including damages of the whole
system. Therefore, after the assembly, the system should be carefully debugged, that is,
to debug the system step by step, so as to observe while debugging, power off the
system immediately on any abnormality, and go on with the debugging until after faults
are pinned down and cleared.

The testing flow is as follows: AC power distribution unit debugging-rectifier


debugging-monitoring unit debugging-battery connection for DC power distribution
unit-system test-powering on the communication equipment-adjusting the system to its
optimal running mode.

4.1.3 Startup procedures

1. Close the AC input switch of the external power supply system.

Close the external mains supply input switch and lead in the mains supply for
the power system. When contactor is employed for AC input of the system, and
the voltage of mains supply is within the normal voltage working range, the
contactor will be automatically closed, at the time, there have been mains
supplies for the AC input and AC standby output of the system; when the
voltage of the mains supply exceeds the working range of the system, the
contactor will not close (in the case of contactor for the AC input, the voltage
for the closing point of the contactor is 154VAC).

2. When the AC input is in the air switch mode, close the main switch and check
whether AC input voltage and each shunt voltage of the standby output are
normal.

3. Start up the rectifier.

Once the AC input voltage is confirmed to be normal, close the power switches
of respective rectifier modules on the AC power distribution layer to start up the
switch rectifier modules one by one. Observe whether each rectifier works
normally and measure the output voltage of each rectifier. Only after all are in
normal status, can the input switches of all the rectifiers be closed at the same
time. See Section 4.3 for starting up the rectifier.

4. Start up the monitoring unit.

Close the power supply switch on the backplane of the monitoring unit, and set
the working parameters of the system according to the correct method and
procedures. Refer to Section 4.4 for the method of relevant setting.

5. Load the loading equipment

Confirm that the system works normally and various parameters are up to
requirements, shut down the system by the sequence as described in 4.1.4,

-78-
-
Chapter 4. System Debugging

connect the load, start up the system, and connect the battery, so that the system
enters the normal working state. For adding load and connecting batteries,
please refer to Section 4.6.

4.1.4 Shutdown sequence

1. Disconnect the load and battery.

2. Switch off the power supply and rectifiers of the monitoring unit.

3. Disconnect the main AC input switch.

4. Disconnect the exterior AC input switch.

4.2 Testing the AC distribution unit


1. AC input switchover

If two lines of input are provided by the user, a switchover experiment of two
power supplies can be performed via the two air switches of the AC input or AC
contactors. To input the dual air switches, their switches should be manually
turned on/off to check whether the two input paths are normal. In the dual
contactor input mode, the system will automatically judge whether the first
mains supply is normal, if it isn’t, the system will switch to the second mains
supply or diesel generator.

2. Parameter and state test

Check each line of mains supply voltage and phase-A current in the monitoring
unit, which shall be in compliance with the actual values. If for the AC input
current, there is a rather large deviation between the displayed value and the
actual value (for specific deviation value, refer to the detection precision test of
Engineering Document of ZXDU500 500A Combined Power Supply System),
adjust the zero and slope of AC input current in system parameter setting of the
monitoring unit.

When the overall system works normally, disconnect the AC power supply, and
“Mains supply failure” will appear in the “Alarm data display” menu of the
monitoring unit.

3. AC phase loss, AC over-voltage and AC under-voltage alarms and automatic

-79-
-
ZXDU500 500A Combined Power Supply System User’s Manual

protection

By debugging AC phase loss, AC over-/under-voltage alarms and automatic


protection, the system is tested on whether it can produce normal alarms and
react normally upon abnormal power supply. These items have undergone strict
test upon ex-factory, so debugging of these items may be skipped if no proper
condition is available on user’s site.

4.3 Debugging the rectifier


1. After the system passes the preliminary test on the AC power distribution unit and
works normally, it is time to power on the rectifier. Prior to powering on the
rectifier, disconnect all the air switches or fuses of DC load shunts, and turn off
the monitoring unit.

2. Prior to powering on the rectifier, make sure that there is no short circuit for the
input and output of the module, there is no loosening or damage on the
components within the rectifier, and the electrical connection is correct.

3. The AC input switch of the rectifier is at the AC distribution layer of the lower part
of the cabinet, and each rectifier corresponds to one AC input air switch.
Rectifiers should be started up one by one, so as to check whether each of them
works normally. After the power-on of the rectifier, there will be a delay of
startup to protect the rectifier. The green light will be lit during delayed startup,
and the red light will also flash for several seconds at the same time. After the
delayed startup completes, and the system works normally, the green light will
be lit, while the red light will be extinguished. Adjust the regulator
potentiometer on the panel of the rectifier and set the output voltage of each
rectifier to 53.5V.

4. After confirming that each rectifier is able to start up normally and the output
voltage becomes normal, close all AC input switches of the active rectifier so
the rectifiers of the system can work in the equalized current state. Observe the
change of the DC output voltage, and check whether there is any change in the
output voltage after the rectifier works in equalized current state. If there is
obvious output voltage drift, spot and fix the rectifier with poor current
equalization effect.

4.4 Testing the monitoring unit

4.4.1 Overview of the monitoring unit

The monitoring unit is responsible for the centralized management of AC distribution,


DC distribution, rectifier set and battery of the system. The monitoring unit collects the
running data of the system in real time and monitors the working status of the system.
When the system falls faulty, it gives out audible and visual alarms in addition to
proper protection measures.

The LCD and LED indicators on the panel of the supervision unit can display the
system’s output current, output voltage, battery current and all kinds of alarm
information. In addition, necessary parameters can be set through the keyboard on the
panel to fulfill necessary control.

The running data and working status of the system, instead of just being reflected
locally, can also be reported to the upper-level monitoring unit through transmission.
The supervision unit also receives commands from the upper-level machine, so as to
query and control the system to realize the “3-tele” functions.

The monitoring unit employs LCD, with English operation interface. The indicator
light on the front panel of the monitoring unit displays the current working status of the
system, please refer to Fig. 2-14 and Table 2-5. When there is any alarm, both the
buzzer and the alarm indicator light will give out audible and visual alarms, and display
the alarm information on LCD.

The reset button is located within the small hole below the communication indicator on
the panel of the monitoring unit, press this key to reset the monitoring unit. The system
can continue to work normally without the monitoring unit, however, the “3-tele”
functions will be disabled, with the standby battery pack being in the floating charge
status.

4.4.2 Powering on the monitoring unit

The monitoring unit examines the working state of various units in the combined
power supply system via the micro-processor and the interface circuit. Then it performs
analysis and processing, and delivers the information to the near-end monitoring
terminal or the remote monitoring center via the RS232 port, so as to fulfill the 3-teles
function and unattendedness.

ZXDU500 500A Combined Power Supply System User’s Manual

The monitoring unit is of the drawer structure that is convenient for maintenance and
installation. The front panel serves as the operation and observation panel. On the back
panel are installed the testing cables, communications cables, working power supply
for the monitoring unit, and signal lines.

When there is rated DC voltage on the DC busbar of the rectifier cabinet, close the
power supply input switch on the back panel of the monitoring unit, therefore, the
monitoring unit is powered on and begins to work, and the main menu will be
displayed on the LCD, and operate the keyboard to observe the corresponding contents
of the display. If there is no normal display, it is necessary to check and maintain the
supervision unit.

Note: After installation of the system, we must perform correct settings for the
monitoring unit, so that the system can work normally. Refer to Section 4.4.6 for
the method for relevant setting.

4.5 Background monitoring


This power supply system can be monitored remotely through the “ZTE Centralized
Power Supply Monitoring System” via modem, or in the local background mode via
RS232. Through background monitoring, all key parameters of the power supply can
be detected and remotely controlled. The background monitoring system is realized
through the information exchange between the monitoring unit of the communication
equipment/power supply system and the background PC, and the connection is shown
in Fig. 4-25.

-94-

Chapter 4. System Debugging

RS232
Background PC Monitoring unit
Modem or SCM,
etc.

Fig. 4-25 Background monitoring

Working principle: the background computer sends commands to the monitoring unit
as per the regulations of the communications protocol, and the monitoring unit will
return the needed data to the background computer as per the commands it receives.

Through the above communication process, the background computer implements the
3-tele functions (telemetry, tele-control and tele-signaling), the centralized monitoring
and automation management services of the power system.

For the use of the “ZTE Centralized Power Supply Monitoring System”, please refer to
the User Manual of the background software for system configuration. The following
should be debugged for the remote monitoring:

1. Properly connect the monitoring unit with the background PC according to the
networking mode;

2. Check whether the monitoring unit can normally communicate with the
background PC;

3. Query the real-time display data of the power supply system from the background
PC, and the data should be in complete compliance with that displayed on the
LCD of the monitoring unit;

4. Check the alarm report function: extract a lightning protection chip, and alarm
information shall be reported;

5. On the background PC, control the start-up/shutdown of the rectifier of the power
supply system, and the conversion of the float charging and equalized charging.
The power supply system should be able to properly execute the above
commands coming from the background PC.

4.6 DC power distribution unit debugging and battery connection


After the AC power distribution unit, rectifiers and monitoring unit are debugged
normally, the batteries can be connected and the DC power distribution unit can be
debugged.

ZXDU500 500A Combined Power Supply System User’s Manual

4.6.1 Connecting batteries

1. Start up some rectifiers and the monitoring unit to let the system be in the float
charging status;

2. Use a multimeter to check whether the voltage polarity of the fuse of the two
battery packs is consistent with that of the busbar;

3. Measure the voltages of the two battery packs respectively, and use a fuse
extractor to press the fuse of the battery pack with a lower voltage into the fuse
base;

4. Use the power supply system to charge this battery pack. The system will
automatically charge up this battery pack to make its voltage transferred to the
voltage value of the other battery pack;

5. Measure the voltages of the two battery packs, and when the difference between
them is less than 0.5V, use a fuse extractor to press the fuse of the other battery
pack into its base.

If there is a third battery pack configured for the user, the method to connect the third
battery pack is similar to that for the second battery pack.

Note:

1. If there is only one pack of battery, it shall be connected to the fuse base of
battery 1.

2. If two packs of batteries are connected, be sure that the open-circuit voltage
of the two groups of batteries is almost the same, otherwise, the two lines of
batteries may charge each other, thus resulting in danger.

4.6.2 Load the loading equipment

Use a multimeter to check the system’s DC loading output port to see whether its
voltage is normal, whether the polarity is correct, whether it’s consistent with the label
of the cable, and whether the loading cable is shorted.

Under normal circumstances, use a load fuse handle to connect the corresponding load
fuse core into the fuse base of the corresponding tributary, or close the fuse switch of
the corresponding tributary, so as to put the communications equipment through. Then
check whether the input voltage at the two terminals of the communications equipment
is normal, if yes, turn on the equipment for operation.
-96-
-
Chapter 4. System Debugging

Note: important loads can be only connected after qualified testing of the system.

4.7 Debug the whole system


After all parts of the system prove to be normal after power on, the whole system
testing is used to perform comprehensive test and setting for the system, so as to check
whether various configurations of the system can run normally, whether the parameters
are correctly and appropriately set up, whether the monitoring unit can effectively and
reliably measure, control and communicate with various parts of the system, and
whether the monitoring background can perform remote monitoring on the system, etc.
Once the whole system is debugged and all parts of the system are working normally,
fill out the relevant test forms for acceptance by the user.

4.7.1 Set system parameters

After the system is powered on, operate the monitoring unit to check various
parameters of the system. Some parameters (e.g., the battery capacity, battery
charge/discharge management parameter, and rectifier current-limiting point) need to
be set over again with reference to the actual condition of the user and as required by
the user. When setting parameters, check them one by one with what listed in forms 4-1
and 4-2, and set those in need of re-set. Note to fill the relevant modified settings into
forms of the project document to save the data.

4.7.2 Test data detection precision

After the whole power supply system is powered on and begins to work, operate the
monitoring unit to enter the real-time data display menu to view whether each item
displayed is in compliance with the actual value. If the difference between the tested
data and the actual value exceeds the range stipulated, find the reason for further
improvement.

For the test contents and requirements, please refer to Engineering Document of
ZXDU500 500A Combined Power Supply.

4.7.3 Test system function and alarm protection performance

Check whether various functions of the system are normal, whether various protection
alarm functions of the monitoring system can timely and reliably work. If any function
fails, check the system and clear the fault.
-97-
-
ZXDU500 500A Combined Power Supply System User’s Manual

For the test contents and requirements, please refer to Engineering Document of
ZXDU500 500A Combined Power Supply.

4.7.4 Test the current equalization characteristic of the system

While debugging a single rectifier, the system has to adjust the output voltage of each
rectifier as to be closely the same. Thereby, the system can automatically implement
the current equalization when all rectifiers are in service.

Observe the output current of each rectifier when the system has certain loads.
Segment indicators are used to display the system current. Totally ten segment LED
indicators are available, and each of them stands for a 5A current. If the difference
between the numbers of LED indicators for any two rectifiers is equal to or less than 1,
the current equalization of the system is qualified. That is to say, the difference
between the output currents of the two rectifiers is less than 5A. If the difference
between the number of segment indicators is larger than 1, the system needs to be
processed due to the insufficient current equalization.

If the current equalization deviation is not up to the requirement, adjust the


potentiometer on the panel of the corresponding rectifier until the current value falls
within the current equalization deviation range.

For testing of the system current equalization feature, the current value can also be
obtained through the current test hole on the rectifier panel. Testing method: use a
multimeter to test the voltage Vi between panel “I” and “COM”, and the relationship
between the output current of the rectifier and Vi is 10A corresponding to 1.5V. If the
difference between the output currents of any two rectifiers is less than 5A, the system
is OK in the current equalization. The current equalization index of the rectifier is
meaningful only when the load current of the system is larger than 20% of the system’s
rated output current. For the test contents and requirements, please refer to
Engineering Document of ZXDU500 500A Combined Power Supply.

5. System Usage

5.1 System power on


After the installation and debugging of the power supply system, the equipment is
usually in standby status. When necessary, simple power-on operation can put the
equipment into operation.

5.1.1 System startup

Operate according to the following procedures in system startup to make sure that the
system starts and works smoothly:

1. Make sure the AC input switch of the rectifier is turned off so that the system can
start without load;

2. Close the main AC input switch;

3. Check whether the AC input is normal, and troubleshoot (if any fault) before the
following operations;

4. After the AC input is normal, turn on the input switches of respective rectifier
modules to start them one by one. Check whether all rectifier modules can start
normally;

5. Turn on the power switch of the monitoring unit and observe the LCD to see
whether the parameters of the system are normal. Set the system work
parameters as required when the system is in the normal state;

6. After the system is confirmed to operate normally and the various parameters have
been measured to meet the requirements, turn off the main AC input switch to
externally cut off AC power supply. Then connect the load, start up the system,
and connect the battery;

7. During the system operation, the maintenance personnel should keep an eye on the
system information supplied by the monitoring system, and process the alarms
as soon as they occur.

-101-
-
ZXDU500 500A Combined Power Supply System User’s Manual

5.1.2 System shut-down

System shutdown generally follows the procedures below:

1. Disconnect the load and battery;

2. Turn off respective rectifier modules and the input switch of the monitoring unit;

3. Turn off the AC mains switch of the system;

4. Turn off the input disconnector outside the system.

5.2 Use of the rectifier

5.2.1 Rectifier backup

Hot backup is recommended for the rectifier configured for the ZXDU500 500A
combined power supply system. That is, the rectifiers are not turned off when the
system output current load is low, so that all the rectifiers of the system are in the
working state. If the user prefers the cold backup mode, please remove the rectifier
from the system and keep it properly. If the AC input switch of the rectifier is turned
off without removing the rectifiers, the system will display “the rectifier alarm”. The
alarm buzzer of the system will sound and the alarm indicator will be lit on.

5.2.2 Capacity expansion of the rectifier

1. Dismantle blank panels. When the power supply system configuration is smaller
than the rated capacity, there are some idle installation slots on some rectifiers
of the cabinet, generally, blank panels are employed for decoration of the idle
slots in order not to affect the smart outlook of the whole system. In case of
system capacity expansion, it is necessary to dismantle the corresponding blank
panels, so as to facilitate inserting new rectifiers.

2. Set the AC input switch corresponding to the position where a module is to be


installed to the “OFF ” state.

3. Push the module into the slot slowly and fix it tight. Set the mechanical lock
switch on the rectifier panel correctly when inserting the rectifier.

4. Close the corresponding AC input switch of this rectifier to make it work normally.

5. Repeat the above steps and install all the modules.

-102-
-
Chapter 5. System Usage

6. Observe the current equalization effect of the system.

5.2.3 Replace the rectifier fan

If any fault occurs to the rectifier fan, it can also be replaced without dismounting the
rectifier. The replacing method of the fan is as follows:

1. Turn off the AC input switch of the rectifier whose fan is to be replaced;

2. Put your fingers into the small recess of the fan cover on the rectifier panel and
pull the fan cover outwards;

3. Remove the fan cover from the rectifier panel and take out the fan from its slot;

4. Unplug the power connector of the fan and take away the damaged fan;

5. Insert the power cable plug of the new fan into the power cable connector;

6. Push the fan into its slot, note not to make it face to the contrary direction;

7. Fix the fan cover and turn on the AC input switch of this rectifier.

5.3 Battery usage

5.3.1 Charge and discharge battery

Battery pack is an important power supply facility for uninterrupted power supply for
communications equipment. The battery pack is connected with the battery tributary of
the power supply system. When the mains supply is working normally, the power
supply system will perform float charging or equalized charging to the battery; In case
of blackout, the battery will supply power to the communications equipment connected
to the power supply system via the DC distribution unit of the power supply system.
The combined power supply system furnishes remote supervision for the
charging/discharging status, charging/discharging voltage, current and battery
temperature.

The battery pack for the 48V communications power comprises 24 serial batteries. The
nominal voltage for a single battery is 2V, the float charging voltage is 2.23V, the
equalized charging voltage is 2.35V. Generally speaking, the float charging voltage of
the battery pack is set at 53.5V (2.23V×24), while the equalized charging voltage is set
at 56.4V (2.35V×24). The float charging voltage and the equalized charging voltage
can be set in the monitoring unit of the combined power supply system, and the values
-103-
-
ZXDU500 500A Combined Power Supply System User’s Manual

shall not deviate too much from the standard values mentioned above.

When the system undergoes charging, the “Charging current ratio” shall not be more
than 0.2C (C represents the rated capacity of the battery), i.e., the charging current shall
not exceed 20% of the total battery capacity.

The power supply system performs whole-process supervision on battery discharging.


When the battery voltage is lower than the “Low battery voltage alarm threshold”, the
monitoring unit will give alarms; the battery keeps discharging, when the battery
voltage is lower than the “Power shutdown voltage of the first group of loads”, the load
equipment of the first-stage shutdown group of the system will be disconnected; when
the battery voltage is lower than the “Power shut-down voltage of the second group of
loads”, all the load equipment of the system will be disconnected, so as to protect the
battery from being over-discharge.

5.3.2 Choice of battery

The choice of battery capacity is determined by 2 factors, i.e., the needed current and
the expected battery discharge time for the power consumption equipment of the power
supply system. For example, the total current of the load equipment of the power
supply system is 80A, the expected continuous power supply time of battery during AC
blackout is 10h, then the battery capacity required by the system=total current of load
equipment × continuous power supply time during AC blackout=800Ah. Then add an
additional quantity on the theoretical battery capacity to get the actually needed battery
capacity. Higher instead of lower battery capacities are preferred as a principle,
however, the deviation shall not exceed 20% of the capacity needed by the electric
equipment.

Batteries of different capacities cannot be used in series, and batteries of different


voltages cannot be used in parallel.

Please don’t use battery packs of different capacities (the different currents during
charging may result in asynchronous saturation of capacities due to different
resistances within the batteries, thus giving rise to 2 packs of batteries of over-charge
and under-discharge; besides, there is to be mutual discharge of the 2 packs of
batteries during discharge).

-104-
-
Chapter 5. System Usage

5.3.3 Matters for attention during usage and maintenance of batteries

1. When several battery packs are in parallel, the total capacity of the battery is the
sum of various packs of batteries. The power supply system can be connected
with 3 packs of batteries at the most. In calculating parameters such as the
current-limiting value of the rectifier, it is necessary to use the capacity of the
battery, and the battery capacity of the power supply system is the sum of the
capacities of various battery packs.

2. The temperature for using batteries is -10℃~ 45℃, the lifespan of the battery is in
the reverse ratio to the temperature of the battery, therefore, heat radiation shall
be taken into consideration in design when the battery is to be used in cases of
increased temperature, so as to avoid increased temperature of the battery
(when the battery temperature is on the increase, the polar plates will undergo
increased corrosion due to the sulphoric acid, thus reducing its lifespan). The
equipment rooms with available conditions shall be equipped with air
conditioning units, so as to lengthen the lifespan of the battery.

3. After the installation of the power supply system, the battery of the first time or out
of use for a long time shall be first charged before being used, for the battery is
subject to capacity loss due to long-time automatic discharge during storage,
and the performance cannot be resumed without charge first.

4. There shall be records for battery running, recording the voltage of a single battery,
the total voltage of the battery pack and the ambient temperature monthly. The
standard values shall be resumed in case of any deviation. The terminal voltage
of single battery packs shall be measured after equalized charging. The terminal
voltage of each battery shall be almost the same, which shall be higher than
1.8V. Those lower than 1.8V are called “Retarded battery”, which shall be
specially charged. If such batteries cannot recover in terms of performance,
new batteries of the same type and capacity shall be resorted to, thus avoiding
impact on the whole battery.

5. The battery pack shall be checked every year for its fixing connection wires etc. to
prevent accidents from happening, and it shall be fixed firmly periodically.

5.4 Alarm description and handling


When the system fails, the monitoring unit will generate alarms according to the failure.

-105-
-
ZXDU500 500A Combined Power Supply System User’s Manual

All kinds of failures will be prompted by audible and visible means as well as text
messages.

When an alarm occurs, the red alarming lamps on the monitoring module light up, the
buzzer gives out alarming sounds, and alarming information is sent to the remote
monitoring center.

The rectifiers and the monitoring unit of the system are designed with sufficient
internal protection, so the normal running of the system will not be affected if a single
module fails.

When any rectifier fails, it automatically exits from service; when the monitoring unit
fails, the rectifier keeps working in the float charging mode, so that the system can still
work normally.

The monitoring unit will immediately send out audio-visual alarm signals when an
alarm occurs to the system. The user can view the specific alarm information and alarm
start time through the displayed alarm data of the monitoring unit. The maintenance
personnel should check the corresponding equipment according to the alarming
information prompted by the monitoring unit, so as to determine the failure type and
location, and take the corresponding measures.

5.4.1 Solutions to the alarms that affect the output of the system

If a fault occurs that affects the system output, such as too low voltage of the
accumulator battery, over-voltage/under-voltage of the output load, abnormal output of
the rectifier module, the load fuse broken, etc., please handle them in accordance with
Table 5-1.

If a fault occurs that does not affect the power supply of the system, such as AC input
over/under voltage or lack (disconnection) of one phase, or the rectifier being
current-limited, the voltage of the accumulator battery pack being low (different from
too low voltage of the accumulator battery, when the system will cut off the loop of the
accumulator battery), or failure of the mains, the monitoring unit will also send the
corresponding alarm signals. The maintenance personnel shall, according to the prompt

Note: when installing fuse, users shall note that whether the fuse has been
installed to the designated position, and whether it is safe and fast.

5.5.2 Adding DC Load

During the initial installation and running period of the power supply equipment, often
not all the load is devoted for running, generally speaking, no power off is allowed
after load running, therefore, newly added load equipment must be operated with
power on. Install the new load equipment strictly according to the following procedure.
If there is any abnormality, check the cause and solve it immediately.
-108-
-
Chapter 5. System Usage

The procedure of adding the DC load is as follows:

1. Make the engineering design and choose the load fuse or the air switch for use.
Note to match the capacity of this tributary with the capacity to be used.

2. Process and lay out the load connection cables, number them and mark them with
their polarities.

3. The wiring of the cable begins with the load end. The grounding cable should be
connected first, followed by the –48V output fuse or air switch.

4. Check the power polarity carefully and ensure there is no error or short circuit.

5. Make sure that the power switch of the load equipment is cut off.

6. Insert the fuse of this tributary to the combined power system or close the air
switch of this load.

7. Check on the load equipment whether the power voltage and polarity conform
with the practical values and requirements.

8. Then, supply power can be provided to the load equipment.

Note: when adding DC load, the tools used must be insulated, and the
corresponding measures shall be undertaken aimed at the accidents that may
happen.

room. General requirements of the management of the unattended station are as
follows:

1. There shall be people taking care of the stations (not on-site attendance), or tour
inspection by regions;

2. The unattended stations shall possess sound capabilities in fighting natural


disasters;

3. The unattended stations shall be sealed;

4. The temperature, humidity and cleanness and fire prevention measures of the

6.3 Handling special cases

6.3.1 Blackout

AC power-off is the most ordinary case in the power supply system running. If the
duration of power-off is not long, the battery will shoulder the DC power supply; on
the contrary, if there is no apparent cause of power-off or the duration of power-off is
extremely long, it is necessary to start the diesel generator for power generation. It is
recommended to wait for over two minutes after start-up of the diesel generator, then
-112-
-
Chapter 6. Maintenance & Management

switch it over to the power supply system, so as to reduce the possible impact on the
power supply equipment during start-up of the diesel generator.

Note: we will have to wait for the stabilization of the generator before using it to
supply power for the whole system.

6.3.2 AC over-voltage/under-voltage protection

The monitoring unit of the system will give the alarm information if the AC input
power exceeds the over-voltage alarm point or is below the under-voltage alarm point.
When the input AC voltage exceeds the over-voltage protection point or is below the
under-voltage protection point of the rectifier, the rectifier will shut down. In this case,
the system has no DC output and the battery will supply power to the load equipment.

A power system with double mains input is available for the AC input. When
over/under-voltage protection occurs, and if the double mains are input through the air
switch, it is necessary to manually switch the input to the AC supply loop with normal
voltage. If it is input through the contactor, the system will automatically switch to the
second mains (or the diesel generator) if the first mains voltage is abnormal. It is
normal that the AC power distribution unit cannot output AC power if the double AC
input of the AC power distribution unit exceeds the over-voltage point or is below the
under-voltage point. In this case, the battery will supply power to the load. Meanwhile,
closely follow up variation of the AC input, and if possible, start up the standby diesel
generator in time, lest communication is interrupted after the loop protection of the
battery is disabled.

6.3.3 Disasters and accidents

The disasters and accidents include such events as lightning strikes, flooding,
earthquake and fire accidents which will cause the failure of communications facilities.
For the disasters that may cause severe communications security problems, we should
emphasize on prevention. At the same time, communications stations and offices
should be equipped with corresponding manpower and material resources to deal with
the disasters, and the units should have emergency status administrative regulations and
severe accidents repairing rules.

6.4 Equipment maintenance

6.4.1 Major points for power supply maintenance

As the telecom power supply features a modular design, usually partial or unit failures
will not lead to proliferation. Power supply failures can be divided into general failure
and emergent failure.

Minor failure refers to that not affecting communication security, including lightning
damage to the AC lightning arrester, system internal communications interruption, no
output of a single module, and damage to the monitoring unit, etc. Emergent failure
refers to the failure that will affect communication safety, such as AC power off due to
AC input and control damage, DC load power off due to DC sampling and control
circuit damage.

If the system generates the following alarms, it is normal: AC input over/under-voltage


alarm, battery under-voltage alarm, mains supply outage alarm, etc.

6.4.2 Troubleshooting for AC power distribution unit

1. Level C lightning-proof device damage

The lightning arrester is composed of 4 leaf-shaped lightning protection units, 3


of which have the status display function to display whether the lightning
protection unit is in the sound state. When the window of the lightning-proof
device is in green, it means that the lightning-proof device is in good status.
When the window of a certain unit is in red, it means that this lightning-proof
unit is damaged. Replace the lightning-proof unit as soon as possible or notify
the local office of ZTE Corporation for maintenance in this case.

2. AC input phase loss

When there is phase default for AC input, the AC power supply cannot be
resolved temporarily, and the system is required to work, emergency methods
can be employed: first cut off the AC power supply, get down the phase line
with phase default, wrap it with friction tape, then use a short line to connect
the normal phase line into the phase line cut off. Then send AC power.

3. AC input over/under-voltage

If AC power is normal but the AC over/under-voltage alarm occurs, usually the

-114-
-
Chapter 6. Maintenance & Management

AC sampling circuit of the monitoring system, AC transducer, or monitoring


unit becomes faulty.

4. AC contactor damage

The contactor does not close though the AC input voltage is within the normal
input range. Use a multimeter to check. If it is found in check that the AC
contactor coil has normal working voltage but does not close, it means that the
AC contactor is damaged and should be replaced.

5. AC contactor protection board (CEPU) damage

When the AC input voltage remains within the normal range while the contactor
does not close, check the contactor coil with a multimeter, and it is found that
there is no normal working voltage. In this case, it is probably that the CEPU
board of the AC input part is damaged. When CEPU board is damaged, the AC
input contactor cannot close. At the time, no AC power input will be available
for the system.

Handling method: when the system is powered by mains supply 1, extract plug
X11 on the CEPU board, and plug it into socket X31; when the system is
powered by mains supply 2 or the diesel generator, extract plug X21 on the
CEPU board, and plug it into socket X31. This handling method means that
CEPU board is skipped over.

6.4.3 Troubleshooting for DC power distribution unit

1. DC tributary failure

If the DC input terminal of the fuse or disconnector has voltage but the output
terminal has no voltage output, it means that the fuse or disconnector is not
connected or has been damaged. If the fuse or the breaker is normal, it may be
due to disconnection of DC tributary detection lines.

2. Battery management failure

If the monitoring unit cannot perform normal alarm and protection over the
battery, i.e., the battery voltage is lower than alarm and protection values, but
there is no alarm and protection signal output, which cannot correctly free the
battery. The causes for battery management fault are as follows: the
corresponding supervision sampling line is disconnected, the relevant part of

-115-
-
ZXDU500 500A Combined Power Supply System User’s Manual

the monitoring unit is damaged, the implementing part (DC contactor) is


damaged, or the cable for the implementation part is disconnected, and so on.

3. DC contactor failure

If there is normal working voltage at both ends of the contactor, but the
contactor cannot be disconnected, it means that the contactor is damaged, which
shall be replaced.

6.4.4 Handing of the rectifier failure

Common failures of the rectifier include the following: no output, over-heat failure, no
equalized current, no ideal equalized current, no display, etc.

1. Module no output

If the rectifier does not work, and no panel indicator lights up, then first check
whether there is AC input, secondly, check whether the input fuse of the module
is burnt out. Another case may be that there is failure with the module. If so, the
faulty module must be replaced.

2. Overheat

When the temperature on the main cooler inside the rectifier is over 85℃, the
module will stop output. In this case, the monitoring unit will display the alarm
information. Module overheat may be caused by blocking or serious aging of
the fan, or poor working of the internal circuits of the rectifier. In the first case,
replace the fan. In the second case, maintain and repair the power module.

3. No current equalization and poor current equalization

When no current equalization occurs in system utilization, check whether the


monitoring cable between the module and the monitoring is connected
appropriately and whether the monitoring cable itself is disconnected. If there is
current equalization but the effect is poor, adjust the output voltage of the
corresponding module with poor current equalization effect (adjust the
potentiometer on the rectifier panel), so that the difference of the output current
in the states of floating charge or the equalized charge is within the stipulated
scope, and equalized current will be obtained again.

4. Fan failure

-116-
-
Chapter 6. Maintenance & Management

The characteristic of fan failure is that it does not work when it is expected to.
At the time, check whether the fan is blocked, if yes, clear the blocking
materials; otherwise, it may be that the fan is damaged itself, or there is fault
with the connection control part, it is necessary to dismantle the module for
maintenance.

5. Over-current protection
The rectifier is capable of over-current protection. If the output is
short-circuited, the module will retract for protection. And when the output
voltage is lower than 20V, the rectifier will be switched off. In this case, the
current limiting indicator on the panel will light up. After troubleshooting, the
module will automatically resume working normally.

6.4.5 Troubleshooting for the monitoring unit

The monitoring unit features certain self-diagnosis function. When the monitoring unit
fails, we can handle the problems by referring to Table 6-3.

6.5 Emergency handling

6.5.1 Principle for emergency handling

The basic principle for emergency handling of the power supply system fault is to keep
an uninterrupted DC power supply for the system.

The failures of the power supply system threatening communication security or


resulting in communications interruption mainly include the following: unrecoverable
damage to the AC power distribution circuit, short circuit of DC load or DC power
distribution unit, complete breakdown of the rectifier, shut-down accidents due to
monitoring unit out of control, and module blocking due to DC output over-voltage,
etc.

6.5.2 Emergency handling for AC/DC power distribution unit

The content of emergency handling of the AC power distribution unit failure is power
supply interruption, the way to handle is to directly introduce the single-phase AC into
the rectifier.

The emergency handling of DC power distribution unit is as follows:

1. Load part short-circuit

Separate the damaged load DC feeding fuse.

2. Power distribution short-circuit

DC power distribution short-circuit failure caused by human carelessness or


natural factors such as earthquake, will directly affect communication safety.
The processing method for the faults is as follows: cut off AC power supply;
separate the battery from the system by force; use battery or rectifier to directly
provide power supply for the load.

6.5.3 Emergency handling for the monitoring unit

If the monitoring unit failure affects DC power supply security, it is only necessary to
shut down the monitoring unit. At the same time, pay attention to management and
maintenance of the battery.

-118-
-
Chapter 6. Maintenance & Management

6.5.4 Emergency handling of the rectifier failure

1. Short circuit inside the module

When there is short circuit inside the module, it will automatically exit from the
system.

2. Partial module damage

After a part of the module is damaged, if the remaining parts can meet the
requirements of load power supply, it is sufficient to shut down the AC power
supply of the damaged module.

3. Module output over-voltage

When the load current is lower than the capacity of a single module, output
over-voltage of a module will lead to system over-voltage and over-voltage
protection of all modules and cannot be recovered automatically. Handling
method: turn off the AC input switches of all the modules, then turn on them
one by one; when a certain module is turned on and undergoes over-voltage
protection once more, turn off the module, and turn on other modules, then the
system can work normally.

7. Packaging, Transportation & Storage

7.1 Packaging
The whole system is packed component by component. The monitoring unit and the
cabinet are packed together, and two rectifiers are packed in one carton. Fittings and
documents are packed in the general cartons. During packaging, we should pay special
attention to the requirements on the placement directions of various parts.

7.2 Transportation
Packages should be handled with care during transportation, so as to prevent violent
impact on them. Besides, they should be placed strictly according to the direction
requirements marked on the packing boxes to prevent damaging devices due to shock.

7.3 Storage
The system should be stored in dry warehouses and be kept from exposure to sunshine
or rainwater. The placing direction shall conform to the marks on packages. The
storage period is restricted to one year with a storage temperature in the range from -40
℃ to 70℃.
