Flexi Power Module (FPMA) and sub-modules (FPAA and FPBA) operation
Flexi Power Module (FPMA) is an optional module. It comprises FPMA mechanics and AC and DC interfaces. The actual power sub-modules are the following:
.

Flexi Power AC/DC sub-module 200-240 V AC (FPAA) Flexi Power Battery sub-module (FPBA)

The maximum number of sub-modules in an FPMA is four. For installation instructions, see section Installing Flexi Power Module (FPMA) in the Installing Flexi EDGE BTS Optional Items document. The FPMA is presented in the following figures.

Flexi Power Module (FPMA) and submodules (FPAA and FPBA) description

For examples of how many FPMAs are required for common configurations, see section Common stack, wall and pole configurations in Creating Stack, Wall and Pole Configurations, Common cabinet configurations in Creating FCIA Configurations or Creating FCOA Configurations or Common sector configurations in Creating Stack, Wall and Pole Configurations, Creating FCIA Configurations or Creating FCOA Configurations.

6.1.1

Operation
The FPMA can support 1-phase and 3-phase AC input. The nominal input voltage is 200-240 V AC (the operating voltage range is 180 - 276 V AC). The maximum output power from the FPMA is 4kW (with 4 FPAAs). Flexi Power AC-DC sub-module (FPAA) The main function of the FPAA is to provide the BTS with nominal 48 V DC power from an AC supply. Maximum DC output power of one FPAA module is 1000 W. A nominal 48 V DC supply is intended for BTS internal use only (a nominal 48 V DC supply is not intended for 3rd party equipment because they may require lower conducted emission level than EN55022 Class A). It should be especially noted that an external lead acid battery for longer backup times cannot be connected to nominal 48 V DC supply. (This is because the temperature compensation of charging voltage is not supported). The FPAA includes its own integrated selfcontrolled fan. In case the fan fails, an alarm is generated and the FPAA has to be replaced (the fan alone cannot be replaced). The FPAA unit remembers the main control switch position. If the FPAA power is switched to Standby, the power remains OFF after input voltage interrupt. The stand-by switch is used for switching the FPAA unit ON/Stand-by when AC input voltage has been connected to the FPAA unit. Flexi Power Battery sub-module (FPBA) The Flexi Power Battery Sub-Module (FPBA) is a separate optional submodule used together with the FPAA. The FPBA provides short-term battery backup time when the AC power mains is down on a Flexi BTS site. The FPBA is a lithium ion battery. The maximum DC output power from one FPBA module is 1000 W. The input power for the BTS cannot exceed the maximum output power of the installed batteries. Otherwise the batteries do not provide the BTS with the needed power during power failure.

Optional Items Description

The power switch of the FPBA unit controls input power. Batteries can be drained by the BTS if the power switch is set to OFF position. The stand-by switch is used for switching the FPBA unit ON/Stand-by when AC input voltage has been connected to the FPBA unit. Lightning protection requirements
