I remember Ken pointing out that even fast-blow fuses have a time delay. If they're running right up around the limit, it does take time to open. I think the last thing you want to do is put in a bigger fuse if you suspect return path and/or polarity issues. Mixed voltages and -/+ return can really be a PITA to figure out sometimes. I would second the suggestion for popping in a Mean Well RSD if only to figure out if you have mixed chassis grounds. Cat5 shields come to mind. Are you passing the shields through the WB SS's?

Does everything power normally prior to the fuse blowing? Does the ptp600 power and ping? Is the fuse properly sized?

    We have to use the duracom dc dc isolators for them but no issues
    once we do it.
    Basically same thing using meanwell product.

        Have you tried isolating the PTP600 with a DC/DC converter
        (Meanwell RSD, etc) in between the rectifier and PIDU?

            ill check, but we did a bench test and it did not

                If you put the PIDU and PTP600 on a cardboard box or

                their cases or chassis?

                i think so, afaik is floating ground

                    So we are moving a site form AC to DC -48
                    this is the setup:
                    Emerson Rectifier feeding:
                    Telco System MPLS router
                    Planet Fiber SW
                    2 Netonix DC Switches
                    2 SAF POE Injectors
                    2 PTP600 PIDUs
                    AFAIK all the mentioned gear above are floating
                    ground
                    We have this gear connected to the Netonix:
                    Airfiber24, Epmp, PMP450
                    all wireless gear is using shielded cable that is
                    terminated in a WBMGF SS on the rack
                    So this is the issue, we migrated everything to
                    DC, when we connect the PTP600 PIDU to the
                    rectifier, the fuse on the emerson output feeding
                    the Netonix blows..not instantly.. it takes some
                    30-45 secs..
                    im scratching my head on this one... any ideas?
