This system utilizes a dual or individual feed AC architecture (Figure 1 & Figure 2).
2.2.2.1
Dual
feed
A system with a dual feed AC architecture feeds power module slots 0 & 1 with feed 1, and
power module slots 2 & 3 with feed 2. The AC connections on the shelf are made via rear
accessed compression style terminal blocks see Figure 6. These terminal blocks will accept up to
a maximum of a 10 AWG wire, and should be torqued to 6 in-lbs. Keep this wire size limitation
in mind when sizing the quantity and size of the power modules. Size your AC breaker and

2.2.2.2
Individual
feed
A system with an individual feed AC architecture feeds each power module slot with an AC feed.
There are two different styles of individual feeds for this system.
The first style of connection is made via rear accessed compression style terminal blocks see
Figure 6. These terminal blocks will accept up to a maximum of a 10 AWG wire, and should be
torqued to 6 in-lbs.
The second style is made via rear accessed IEC320 receptacles, see Figure 8. The connections
should be sized with an AC service no larger than 15 amps. Keep this limitation in mind when
sizing the power modules. Securing brackets are available to hold the IEC320 AC cords to the
shelf, see Figure 9 for more information. Size your AC breaker and wiring according to Table 4.

sizing
To size your AC feeds properly, use the example below. Failure to size the AC breaker and wiring
properly can result in nuisance breaker trips or even fire. If you anticipate future growth, size the
AC breaker and wiring for the expected future capacity.
Use section 2.2.2 to determine your AC input architecture, for example a dual feed.
Determine the quantity and model number of the power modules that will be used, for example
two TH120048 (48V, 25A).
Determine the sites AC input nominal AC voltage and compare it to Table 3 for power module
compatibility, for example, the TH120048 power module will accept either low line or high line
AC voltage.

Revision A4 : August, 2009

POWER SYSTEM
For this example we will assume that future growth is necessary so we will size the AC feed for
four power modules. Using Table 4, each AC feed, to the pair of TH120048, power modules will
require will require a 20 amp breaker with 12 AWG wire, at high line, per feed.

Each system is equipped with 2 unprotected bulk output connections; one set located on each
side of the rear of the shelf. The THR4 rack will only accept lugs and THR400 will accept lugs or
bus bars. Unprotected bulk connections are double, ¼"-20 (M6) studs with 5/8" centers. The
maximum tongue width for bulk connections is 0.67". Select a wire or bus bar size for the bulk
outputs according to the current rating as shown in Table 5. Choose lugs according to section
Table 6. The polarity of the system is universal; therefore the polarity of the output is determined
by the system grounding. See section 2.3.2 for more detail. The THR4 is capable of delivering a
max of 200 amps total, 100 amps per side. The THR400 is capable of delivering a max of 400
amps total (300 amps continuous), 200 amps per side.
2.3.2 DC
Reference Ground
The Lambda Power system is a fully floating system. This means that neither the positive nor the
negative are tied to the chassis or an earth ground. An external reference or earth ground may
be connected to either the positive output or the negative output depending the desired output
polarity. As always follow your company's guidelines for sizing and attaching a reference ground.
2.3.3
DC
Wire
Sizing
There are two main considerations for sizing DC wire, ampacity and voltage drop. Ampacity
refers to a safe current carrying level as specified by non-profit organizations such as
Underwriters Laboratories and the National Fire Prevention Association, which publishes the
National Electric Code. Voltage drop is simply the amount of voltage loss in a length of wire
due to ohmic resistance of the conductor. DC wire may be sized for either ampacity or voltage
drop depending on branch load loop length and conductor heating. In general, ampacity
considerations will drive wire selection for short loop lengths (less than 50 feet) and voltage
drop will drive wire selection for long loop lengths (greater than 50 feet).
THRA-SERIES POWER SYSTEM
The National Electric Code table 310.16 provides ampacity values for various sizes, bundles, and
insulation temperature rated wire. ALWAYS

Once all AC and DC connections have been secured and checked, install each power module
sequentially by sliding and latching each power module into a rack position as shown in Figure
17. The power module latches must be open for installation. Attempting to install the power mod-
ules with the latches closed will result in mechanical damage to the power modules and the rack.
The power modules will start in high fan speed mode and reduce their speed according to the
ambient and plant conditions within 10 seconds. If an optional NIC card is not installed the
power modules will ship from the factory with a default voltage value of 12VDC, 24 VDC, or 48
VDC depending on power modules deployed. This value can be changed at the factory upon
request or via an optional NIC card (see NIC Information section at end of document).

Alarm
Cable
Pinout
Access to alarms and control signals is accomplished via a rear mounted connector with a mating
cable part number TLRC01 (Figure 16). Table 8 provides a pin functional description.
· The pin out of the alarm connector on the shelf is a 180° different from a standard
Molex connector, see Figure 15.
· AC fail, DC fail, and Thermal limit fail alarms are all open collector, opto-coupled, active
high on failure/active low normally, and referenced to pin 17. The pin is able to sink 10
mA of current at 5 V and 5 mA at TTL voltages.
· Applying 5 V between pins 16 and 17 will shut all power modules down. Removing the
5V will cause the power module to power back up.
· Tie pin 9 from multiple racks to current share between racks.
· Parallel alarms and signals together for multiple racks.

Replacement
Items
The power modules are modular field replaceable (hot swappable) units. In the event that a
power module needs to be removed, press the latch button on the front of the power module,
and pull the handle until the power module slides out of the slot. Open the latch on the new
power module and slide it into an empty slot. Close the latch and the power module will start up
automatically and will begin sharing current.
If an optional NIC is installed the power module will automatically set the voltage specified by the
NIC, otherwise it will be at the factory default.

Troubleshooting
9.1
Problems
and
Solutions
The modular, plug-n-play nature of this plant makes diagnostics and repair very easy. Make sure
that all power modules are properly seated and latched into their respective slots. Make sure that
all power and signal connectors are properly mated. Table 9 lists problems and potential solu-
tions.

Current
Limit
ILimit can be adjusted up to +105% of the rated current of the power module. The system volt-
age will remain constant up to ILimit at which point the system voltage will drop quickly toward
0 VDC, as in Figure 18. Once a 24V or 48V power module drops below 12 VDC for more than
5 seconds, the system will shut down. For a 12V system, once the power module drops below 4V
for more than 60 seconds, the system will shut down. The system will automatically restart after
60 seconds, and will continue until the short circuit is cleared.
