Abstract
A power load center comprises a first terminal block adapted to receive multiple high voltage DC power feeder pairs, a protector block adapted to receive the multiple high voltage DC power pairs from the first terminal block and to aggregate them, a DC to DC voltage converter adapted to receive the aggregate feeder pairs and convert them to −48V DC, and a power tap bus or second terminal block adapted to receive the −48V DC power and to output it as multiple −48V DC power taps.
Claims20
A power load center, comprising:
- a first terminal block adapted to receive multiple high voltage DC power feeder pairs;
- a protector block adapted to receive the multiple high voltage DC power pairs from the first terminal block and to aggregate them;
- a DC to DC voltage converter adapted to receive the aggregate feeder pairs and convert them to a required electronic supply voltage;
- and
- a power tap bus adapted to receive the converted aggregate feeder pairs and to output them as multiple power taps.
A power load center, comprising:
- a first terminal block adapted to receive multiple high voltage +/−190V DC power feeder pairs;
- a protector block adapted to receive the multiple high voltage DC power pairs from the first terminal block and to aggregate them;
- a DC to DC voltage converter adapted to receive the aggregate feeder pairs and convert them to −48V DC;
- and
- a second terminal block adapted to receive the −48V DC power and to output it as multiple −48V DC power taps.
A method for powering a combined electronic and serving area interface (SAI) cabinet, comprising:
- receiving at least one high voltage power feeder pair, wherein the feeder pair is at least one of:
- +/−130V DC;
- around +/−130V DC;
- and
- above +/−130V DC;
- aggregating the at least one high voltage power feeder pair with at least one other high voltage power feeder pair;
- receiving the aggregate feeder pairs;
- converting the aggregate feeder pairs to at least one of:
- −48V DC;
- around −48V DC;
- and
- above −48V DC;
- receiving the converted power;
- and
- outputting the converted power as multiple power taps, wherein the power taps are at least one of:
- −48V DC;
- around −48V DC;
- and
- above −48V DC.
