The growing number of new services and modern equipment will be supplied with energy using the existing AC and DC power distribution systems. The principle of permanent power supply demands stored energy either in the fuel tanks of IC (Internal Combustion) Generator sets or in batteries. The network will be extended by optical fibre cables not capable of transporting energy. Computorized equipment requires increasingly continous power supply for memory back up. The three main categories which need stored energy in batteries are: - the central services (as exchanges. repeator stations, a.s.o.) - the subscriber premises (e.g. with optical fibre cables) - the memory backup (in various equipment) For the first category the station battery - central or decentral - will be the solution also in the future. For the decentral power equipment medium and small sizes of rechargeble batteries in maintenance free desing are preferred. Only smaller sizes of rechargeble batteries in maintenancefree design are prefered for the second category. For the third category: energy supply of memory back up's, the design alternative is between primary cells (Lithium) and secondary cells (NiCd button cells). For all types of batteries there is a high demand on reliability during service life and on maintenancefree operation. This requires changes in design of the existing battery types and or newly developed batteries.","PeriodicalId":132848,"journal":{"name":"INTELEC '84 - International Telecommunications Energy Conference","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1984-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130674795","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Modules operating at higher frequencies would be appealing in applications such as uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), DC-DC converters, and switching regulators. Analysis of the power losses involved in operation at high current and ultrasonic frequencies shows that substantial switching and conduction losses must be dissipated by a 500 ampere switch. A hypothetical 500 ampere hybrid module operating at 20 kHz is projected and values are estimated for its switching losses and thermal characteristics. Analysis of this hypothetical single side cooled module shows that the heatsink required for operation in a practical industrial ambient is not realizable with available heatsink technology. A practical approach is presented to realize a 500 ampere, 450 volt, 20 kHz switch using a minimum number of paralleled transistors on separate heatsinks. Sample calculations of power losses and thermal performance are presented. Guidelines are presented for selection of transistors to ensure sharing of collector current. Current sharing results are presented for an actual switch, designed according to the guidelines.","PeriodicalId":132848,"journal":{"name":"INTELEC '84 - International Telecommunications Energy Conference","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1984-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130488440","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many of those buildings have been designed to varying degrees with features to promote the natural transfer of heat from the equipment room to its surroundings and to limit the room temperature rise to an acceptable level. Heat dissipation from digital type equipment of about 0.5 to 5 kW is becoming the norm whereas in the past the room heat loads with analogue equipment have not exceeded about 1.8 kW. The need for a more detailed knowledge of passive heat transfer mechanisms to economically accommodate the larger heat loads is evident.

Therefore, when telecommunications service is interrupted, it causes serious disruption of social activities. Power systems are important for telecommunications service because they provide the lifeblood of the telecommunications network. Stand-by power, which is part of the telecommunications power system, backs up commercial power sources and improves the reliability of the power supply system. This paper discusses the concept of stand-by power supply, range of engine-generator applications, battery holding-time and the stationing standard for mobile and transportable generators.

This paper describes an integrated power management scheme (PMS) developed by British Telecomm (BT) for remote monitoring and supervision of DC power systems for digital switching and transmission within the UK. The application descibed is the power management scheme for use with System X, the BT family of digital switching exchanges.

The increasing switching density of modern telecommunications equipment and the changes in power density of converters and batteries are the major factors in the revolution in power supply systems. The adoption by BT of high frequency converters and sealed batteries as the recommended provision for new power plant is a major step forward and leads to the possibility of standard power modules suitable for both Central Office and customer located systems. With the expansion of telecommunication systems and facilities, flexibility of power supply is a major factor and the advantages of standard power units in modular form, which can be built into a variety of systems meeting the reliability requirements, virtually off the shelf, are discussed. The present power rack system using relatively small rectifiers increases the overall reliability. The next step and the limit of convergence are considered.","PeriodicalId":132848,"journal":{"name":"INTELEC '84 - International Telecommunications Energy Conference","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1984-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133973266","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The following describes some of the certification programmes offered by the Canadian Standards Association, Standards that apply to telephone equipment power supplies, and the construction and test requirements that are contained in those standards. The Canadian Standards Association, (CSA) is a voluntary, non-profit organization dedicated to writing standards and providing certification services. As far as CSA is concerned the use of its Standards is voluntary, in that CSA has no power to enforce adherence to its Standards, It is only when a regulatory body adopts these Standards that they become mandatory. In Canada under the \"British North America Act\" each Province is empowered to pass legislation relating to personal safety. Since electricity, by its nature may be hazardous, it follows that the sale and installation of electrical equipment is under Provincial jurisdiction. To discharge this mandate each Province has adopted CSA Standards by specific reference in Provincial statues. Consequently, it is mandatory that electrical products be Certified by CSA. Products not so certified may be legally installed through a procedure called \"Special Inspection\", the requirements of which vary from province to province. Special Inspection is limited to only a small number of a given product or when there are insufficient Standards.","PeriodicalId":132848,"journal":{"name":"INTELEC '84 - International Telecommunications Energy Conference","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1984-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134448756","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This not only makes the task of changing parameters easier, but also adds safety, in that, personnel are not exposed to hazardous voltages. Since a security code is needed to access the routines for changing the parameters, only authorized personnel can make these changes. The advantages of the Microprocessor Controlled Battery Chargers over the conventional charger are many: ¿ Precisely monitor and control charger functions. ¿ Permits on-line updating of operating parameters with no shut down. ¿ Performs diagnostic routines. ¿ Digital display of all operating functions. ¿ Simplifies installation and maintenance. ¿ Improved serviceability. ¿ Increased safety.
