C.O. Battery Voltages - EVERYWHERE

2003-04-08 Thread Joe Finlayson


I'm interested in obtaining information on the percentage of C.O.'s
worldwide that are utilizing -60VDC as their battery voltage.  It is my
understanding that a majority use -48VDC although some still use -60VDC.
Any and all information/references would be helpful.  If there are
references that are country specific or carrier specific, that would be
valuable information as well.  Any charts/spreadsheets out there similar to
the mains supply charts I've seen would be excellent.

Thx,


Joe

I believe that DT is the only carrier that uses -60Vdc CO's, but I think 
that it is only present in their older CO's.

It's not that hard to meet the requirements though - just maintain 1mm 
(40th) creepage  clearance between TNV-2 and SELV, GND, etc (up to your 
DC/DC's/opto-isolators/bridging caps) and make sure any bridging 
capacitors are physically large enough to have 1mm between the pads (Y 
rating is not required but anything smaller than a 1206 SMT cap is too 
small to maintain spacings).  Voltage rating on the caps is important 
too, I guess - pick according to proper NEBS reliability derating.

-And you may have to ensure that your DC/DC's are rated properly.

Best Regards,
Dave Heald
