INTRODUCTION
Overview
The rectifiers provide load power, battery float current, and battery recharge current during normal operating
conditions. The rectifiers are a constant power design. The rectifiers are rated at their maximum output power.
This means that, within the normal operating ambient temperature range and input voltage range, the
maximum available output power is a constant 2000W. Within these ranges, the rectifiers operate in one of
three modes, depending upon load demands. Transition between modes is completely automatic. If ambient
temperature rises above or input voltage falls below acceptable values, rectifiers continue to operate but at
derated output power levels.
• Constant Voltage Mode: For any initial output voltage setting from 42 to 58 volts, output voltage
remains constant regardless of load. This is the normal operating condition, in which loads are being
supplied and batteries are float charged. Rectifiers operate in the Constant Voltage Mode unless load
increases to the point where the product of load current and output voltage is approximately 2000W.
• Constant Power Mode: As load increases above approximately 2000W (non-adjustable), output current
continues to increase, but output voltage decreases as required to maintain constant output power.
Rectifiers operate in the Constant Power Mode unless load continues to increase to the point where the
current limit setting is reached.
• Constant Current Mode: If load increases to the current limit setting, output voltage decreases linearly
to maintain output current at the current limit setting.

Specifications
NOTE! A current limitation can be set by the User and the output voltage level is set through the
controller.
DC Output Ratings
• Voltage: Nominal -48.0 VDC, Positive Ground.
a) Adjustment Range: The output voltage can be set within the range of -42V to -58V, adjustable via
the controller.
• Output Power and Current:
2000W (41.7A) @ 208/240VAC Input and -48VDC Output.
1262W (26.3A) @ 120VAC Input and -48VDC Output.
• Output Characteristics:
a) Refer to Figure 1 for a graph of output voltage vs. output current for the R48-2000e rectifier.
b) Refer to Figure 2 for a graph of output voltage vs. output current for the R48-2000 and R48-2000H
rectifier.

• Power Derating Based on Input Voltage: The rectifier power varies with changes in input voltage and
output voltage. It uses an advanced power limitation method. The lower input threshold is 85 VAC. The
rectifier can provide its maximum rated power (2000W) as long as the input voltage is within the range
of 176 to 300 VAC. Below 176 VAC, and down to 85 VAC, the rectifier will continue to operate normally
but will be in a power derating mode. The relationship between the output power and input voltage is
illustrated in Figure 3 and Figure 4.

Figure 4: Power Derating Based on Voltage [R48-2000e (1R482000e)]

• Power Derating Based on Temperature: The rectifier delivers full power when operating at an ambient
temperature of +45°C (+113°F) or below (1R482000 and 1R2000H) or +55°C (+131°F) or below
(1R482000e). Each rectifier continuously monitors the ambient temperature surrounding the power
conversion circuit. If this temperature for any reason (such as a high ambient temperature or failed fan)
increases above approximately +45°C (+113°F) (R48-2000 and R48-2000H) or +55°C (+131°F) (R48-
2000e), the rectifier will not shut down. Rather, the rectifier limits its maximum output power to
maintain the temperature of the power conversion circuit within design parameters. Operation between
+45°C (+113°F) (R48-2000 and R48-2000H) or +55°C (+131°F) (R48-2000e) and +80°C (+176°F) will
result in output power being decreased. Full power capability is restored when the temperature
decreases to below approximately +45°C (+113°F) (R48-2000 and R48-2000H) or +55°C (+131°F) (R48-
2000e). Refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 to view the relationship between the output power and the
ambient temperature.
Other power rating values are as follows:
a) 1R482000 and 1R2000H:
1. At an ambient temperature of +65°C (+149°F), the power delivered by the rectifier is 1600W.
2. At an ambient temperature of +75°C (+158°F), the power delivered by the rectifier is 800W.

Vertiv | NetSure Rectifier Module User Manual (UM1R482000e / 11BU1360YY) | Rev. J 9

 b) 1R482000e:
1. At an ambient temperature of +65°C (+149°F), the power delivered by the rectifier is 1750W.
2. At an ambient temperature of +75°C (+158°F), the power delivered by the rectifier is 1500W.
WARNING! The rectifier is rated for continuous operation at full output power up to +45°C (+113°F)
(R48-2000 and R48-2000H) or +55°C (+131°F) (R48-2000e). Operation between +45°C (+113°F) (R48-
2000 and R48-2000H) or +55°C (+131°F) (R48-2000e) and +80°C (+176°F) will result in output power
decrease. Operation above +80°C (+176°F) is considered abnormal and should be used on a temporary1
basis only.
1
Temporary Operation at Abnormal Temperature: Temporary operation is defined as a period of
not more than eight consecutive hours per day, and a total of not more than 15 days in a year.
(This refers to a total of 120 hours in any given year, but no more than 15 occurrences in that one-
year period.)

Compliance Information
• EMC: ETSI EN 300 386 class B, FCC CFR 47 Part 15 class B, Telcordia GR-1089-CORE class B.
• Safety: IEC 60950, EN 60950, UL 60950.
Standard Features
• Type of Power Conversion Circuit: High frequency.
• Constant Voltage Mode: For any initial output voltage setting from 42 to 58 volts, output voltage
remains constant regardless of load. This is the normal operating condition, in which loads are being
supplied and batteries are float charged. Rectifiers operate in the Constant Voltage Mode unless load
increases to the point where the product of load current and output voltage is approximately 2000W.
• Constant Power Mode: As load increases above approximately 2000W (non-adjustable), output current
continues to increase, but output voltage decreases as required to maintain constant output power.
Rectifiers operate in the Constant Power Mode unless load continues to increase to the point where the
current limit setting is reached.
• Constant Current Mode: If load increases to the current limit setting, output voltage decreases linearly
to maintain output current at the current limit setting.
• Input Protection:
a) Input Over/Under Voltage Protection: The rectifier will shut down at low or high voltage input; based
on the following voltage levels:
1. Low voltage disable point 80 V, ±5 V; hysteresis is 10 - 20 VAC for restart.
2. High voltage disable point 305 V, ±5 V; hysteresis is 10 - 15 VAC for restart.
b) Between 85 V and 176 V the output power will be derated linearly based on the input voltage as
follows:
1. At input voltage of 85 V with output >48 V, max output power is 800 W.
2. At input voltage of 120 V with output >48 V, max output power is 1262 W.
3. At input voltage of 154 V with output >48 V, max output power is 1700 W.
4. At input voltage of 176 V and output >48 V, max output power is 2000 W.

Vertiv | NetSure Rectifier Module User Manual (UM1R482000e / 11BU1360YY) | Rev. J 20

 • Output Protection:
a) Overload / Reverse Current: The rectifier has a 63A fuse in the negative output DC bus. This fuse is
not customer replaceable. The rectifier can be plugged into or pulled out of a shelf while operating,
without damage or opening the fuse.
b) Current Limiting: The rectifier has a current limit function. The current limit point can be set
between the range of 0 to 41.7 A, adjustable via the controller. The current limit accuracy is ±1.5A
for R48-2000e and ±1.0A for R48-2000 and R48-2000H when the output voltage ranges from 42 to
58 V.
c) Advanced Current Limit Function: The rectifier has an advanced Current Limit Function. When a
short circuit occurs at the rectifier output terminals, the rectifier will keep its output current at a
constant value (value that is configurable via the controller). This function effectively protects the
rectifier and the equipment connected to the rectifier. When the short circuit fault is cleared, the
rectifier will automatically restore back to normal operation.
d) High Voltage Shutdown:
1. Adjustable Control: If rectifier output voltage exceeds an adjustable preset value and the
rectifier is delivering more than 10% of its rated current, the rectifier shuts down. (Adjustable
from 56 VDC to 59 VDC via the controller. The restart hysteresis is 0.5 V ±0.2 V.)
The rectifier then restarts and a HVSD restart timer starts (time value configurable via the
controller, factory default is 5 minutes). If output voltage again exceeds the high voltage
shutdown value before the HVSD restart timer expires, the rectifier shuts down and locks out.
Manual restart is then required (by turning power to the rectifier off or by removing the rectifier,
waiting until the LEDs on the rectifier extinguish, then turning power to the rectifier on or re-
inserting the rectifier). If the rectifier does not experience a high voltage condition before the
HVSD restart timer expires, the restart circuit is reset.
If two or more rectifiers are paralleled, only the rectifier causing the high voltage condition shuts
down.
2. Backup: If rectifier output voltage exceeds 59.5 V ±0.5 V (non-adjustable) and the rectifier is
delivering more than 10% of its rated current, the rectifier shuts down. The rectifier then
restarts and a HVSD restart timer starts (time value configurable via the controller, factory
default is 5 minutes). If output voltage again exceeds the high voltage shutdown value before
the HVSD restart timer expires, the rectifier shuts down and locks out. Manual restart is then
required (by turning power to the rectifier off or by removing the rectifier, waiting until the LEDs
on the rectifier extinguish, then turning power to the rectifier on or re-inserting the rectifier).
• Over-Temperature Protection: The rectifier provides over temperature protection by derating output
power and recovers automatically.
• Active Load Sharing: The rectifier uses advanced digital active load sharing technology. The output
current of each rectifier is <±1.2 A of the average current of all rectifiers from 10% to 100% load.
• Hot Swappable: The rectifier is designed to be plug-and-play. The rectifier can be inserted or removed
from a live DC power system with no damage. When the rectifier is plugged into the system, the system
output voltage will not be affected.

Vertiv | NetSure Rectifier Module User Manual (UM1R482000e / 11BU1360YY) | Rev. J 21

 • Cooling: Each rectifier contains a fan for front-to-back force air-cooling.
a) Fan Fault Protection: The rectifier shuts down and its alarm indicator (red) flashes if the fan fails.
Fan failure is detected and reported to controller. The fans are field replaceable.
b) Fan Control: When the input voltage is within a normal range, the built-in processor adjusts the fan’s
speed according to the rectifier ambient and internal temperature. This feature can be disabled
allowing the fan to run at full speed regardless of temperature.
• Paralleling: This rectifier may be connected in parallel with any rectifier of the same polarity and
adjusted to the same output voltage.
• Communication Failure: The rectifier’s protection indicator (yellow) will flash should it experience a
communication failure. The failure information will be reported to the controller and the controller will
process the failure accordingly. During a communication failure, in order to protect the battery, the
rectifier output voltage will automatically be adjusted as follows.
- The rectifier default factory output voltage is 53.5V.
- Once power is applied to the rectifier and the rectifier is recognized by the controller, the output
voltage is updated to the setting programmed into the controller.
- If communications with an SCU+ controller is lost, rectifier output voltage goes to a default value
programmed into the controller (this is a separate programmable parameter from the output voltage
setting).
- If communications with an ACU+ or NCU controller is lost, rectifier output voltage goes to the last
communicated float output voltage setting in the controller (the last communicated float output
voltage setting is stored in the rectifier).
- The rectifier will revert to normal operation once normal communication to the controller is restored.
• Rectifier Output Current Imbalance:
a) When the average current of all rectifiers is greater than 20% of full rated current, and the difference
between local rectifier current and average current is greater than 16% of full rated current, the
yellow protection indicator will illuminate.
b) When the average current of all rectifiers is greater than 10% of full rated current, and local rectifier
current is less than 1.5% of full rated current, then the red fault indicator will illuminate.
• Monitoring Function: The rectifier has a built-in advanced DSP that monitors and controls the operation
of the rectifier. The DSP also communicates with the controller in real time through the CAN bus. Table
13 lists the different commands and information exchanged between the rectifier and the controller.
