11.3 Power Supply

11.3.1 DC Power Supply
The 48V DC power supply for BTS must meets the following requirements:
I. DC Power Supply
Voltage range: 40 V DC to 60 V DC

5


Requirements
Rectifier: If AC input voltage ranges from 85% to 110% of the nominal voltage
and the load current from 5% to 100% of the nominal current, the output voltage
of the rectifier stays at a value in the range of -46.0 V to -56.4 V. The regulated
voltage precision is equal to or less than 1%.
On/off overshoot magnitude: less than 5% over or below the rectified DC output
voltage.
Peak to peak noise voltage is equal to or less than 200 mV
Dynamic response: The restore time is shorter than 200 ms. The overshoot
value is less than 5% over or below the rectified DC output voltage.
II. DC Power Supply System
The capacity of DC power supply system is higher than the maximum dynamic
load and static load by a specific value.
Place the power supply equipment close to communications equipment to make

the DC feeder line short. The voltage drop of the loop between the port on
battery and the port on equipment shall be lower than 3.2 V. This design reduces
power consumption and installation cost.
If the exchange has a large capacity or there are more than two switching
systems, two or more independent power supply systems are required.
For a large-capacity communication center, independent power supply systems

can supply power for each floor or each equipment room.
For common exchanges, concentrated power supply with a power room and
battery compartment applies. The distributed power supply also applies.
For small-capacity exchanges, the power supply system can be integrated into
the equipment. Be cautious of corrosive gas given out by battery in the
equipment room that may damage circuit boards in the equipment.
The distributed power supply with multiple power supply systems and power
devices is advisable.
The output voltage of the DC power supply systems stays within the output
voltage range.
The AC power supply system is reliable for reliable power supply and lower
battery capacity requirement. For small-capacity exchanges that are hard to
improve the reliability, you may enhance the battery capacity.
III. High Frequency On/Off Rectifier

The capacity of the high frequency on/off rectifier shall meet the needs of
communication load power and battery charging power.
If the number of active rectifiers is less than 10, use one standby rectifier. If the
number is over 10, use one standby rectifier for every 10 active ones.

6


Requirements
IV. Battery
Install batteries in two or more groups. The total capacity depends on the time of
independent power supply for load of each battery group.
For most exchanges, the time of independent power supply for load of each battery
group depends on permissible power off time and complies with the following rules:
For first-rank mains supply, the battery need sustain 0.5 hour to 1 hour.
For second-rank mains supply, the battery need sustain 1 hour to 2 hours.
For third-rank mains supply, the battery need sustain 2 hour to 3 hours.
For fourth-rank mains supply, the battery need sustain 8 hour to 10 hours in one
of the following cases:
- There is only one power line from one power supply.
- The power is usually off for a whole day or a whole night.
- The power supply is not stable or up to the standards of third-rank mains
supply.
For fourth-rank mains supply, the battery need sustain 20 to 24 hours if there is
seasonal long-time power failure of if there is no mains supply.
For unattended sites, the battery must sustain long enough for the following
factors:
- The technicians need time to prepare after being informed of a power fault.
- The normal-speed drive to the site takes time.
- It takes time to handle the fault.
- The technicians do not go to unattended sites on mountaintop or suburb by
night.
- For sites with time-delay oil generators, the released energy of the battery
during the delay cannot exceed 20% of its capacity.
11.3.2 AC Power Supply

The AC power supply for BTS must meet the following requirements:
The electric network for BTS is independent and good in quality.
The AC power distribution capacity of the equipment room depends on the

working current and fault current of the equipment. Each independent device
must be equipped with independent facilities for AC power distribution protection.
The threshold of the protection switch shall be higher than the downstream
electric equipment.
Use voltage regulation devices in either case below:

7


Requirements
- The communications equipment is powered by mains supply directly. The

power supply voltage is 5% higher or 10% lower than the nominal voltage or out
of the permissible voltage range of the communications equipment.
- The communications equipment is not directly powered by mains supply. The
power supply voltage is 10% higher or 15% lower than the nominal voltage or out
of the permissible AC input voltage range of DC power equipment.
Apply
UPS
or
DC-to-AC
converters
to
power
supply
for
no-break
communications.
To ensure critical communications load and power load in mains failure, the
office site shall be equipped with a generator set as power supply for itself. The
capability of the set is 1.5 to 2 times of the total capability of AC non-stop electric
equipment.
Table 11-3 lists the requirements for AC voltage.

Table 1.1 Requirements for AC voltage
Input voltage
90% to 110% of nominal voltage
range
Power frequency
98% to 102% of nominal power frequency
Wave distortion
The total harmonic component shall be smaller than

10%.
11.3.3 Anti-Interference Protection

I. Interference Causes
Interference sources produce stray signals. The stray signals affect communications
quality, generate cross talk and noise, and even affect the normal operation of BTS.
Interference sources include:
Corona discharge of transmission line
Electromagnetic interference caused by transformer
Various kinds of switch apparatuses
Waveform distortion in operating large equipment
Radio-frequency interference
Natural interference such as the terrestrial magnetic field and extraneous

radiation
All the interference, in any form they might be, comes from:
Capacitance coupling
Inductive coupling

8


Requirements
Electromagnetic wave radiation,
Electric conduction of common impedance (including the grounding system)
Electric conduction of various conducting wires (power cables, signal cables and
output cables).
External interference enters the equipment through input signal cables, output cables,
power cables, grounding system, and space electromagnetic wave.
II. Anti-Interference Measures

External noise over anti-interference tolerance of integrated circuit of equipment leads
to misoperation of the equipment. The entire equipment cannot work normally in that
situation. It is not feasible to remove or shield all interference. However, you may take
the following measures to suppress the interference:
The high frequency interference on electric networks comes from the coupling of
primary coil to secondary coil of the power transformer through distributed
capacitor. A low pass filter on led-in power cables and a proper power
transformer can suppress the interference.
To suppress the interference generated by transient changes in electric network,

you can lead in the power directly from the main transformer and add a filter
capacitor to the line.
If BTS equipment connects to a 50 Hz mains power network where the above

interference sources exist, the voltage of the power network may sharply change
or even generate over-voltage upon a lightning strike. The interference enters
BTS and causes calculation errors to internal processors of BTS. Switch to
mains supply only when some effective measures have been taken against
electric network interference.
The key to removing the interference caused by the grounding system is to

prevent various grounds (signal ground, power ground, protection ground, and
shielding ground) from forming loops, including the loop formed by large
distributed capacitor. Otherwise, interference signals will affect the normal
operation of the BTS through the coupling of the common impedance of the
grounding system.
Protect the equipment against the electromagnetic interference from surrounding

environment and telecom lines.
In some communications buildings, there may be multiple high frequency

transmitters. Their influence on BTS equipment shall comply with the requirements of
the related EMC standards. Besides, be sure to ground, shield, and wave-filter BTSs
properly.
In high frequency electromagnetic field (external interference), a high longitudinal
voltage may be inducted in the sheath and the core of the communication cable.
Because of the asymmetry of the core, the longitudinal voltage may generate lateral

9


Requirements
noise voltage at the end of the core. The noise voltage causes interference. If the
metal skin of the cable sheath is grounded, the sheath produces shield function and
the longitudinal voltage will drop greatly, thus suppressing the interference voltage.
There are several other effective methods to suppress interference as follows:
Reducing the voltage and current of interference sources
Shortening wires or the interval of wires to reduce the area of the interference
loop
Placing insulated and interfered wires on the grounded surface
Using special ground return line to eliminate common impedance
Twisting the signal wire and the return line together to offset the partial external
electromagnetic interference
11.4 Requirements for Illumination

The requirements for equipment room illumination include:
Avoid direct sunshine on the equipment room to prevent circuit board and other
elements from aging and deforming.
Install gentle-light anti-explosion lamps in the battery compartment.
For unattended BTSs, use common illumination provided by the mains supply for
the equipment room.
For BTSs with large capacity and much importance, prepare an emergency
lighting system with DC power supply as standby illumination.
11.5 Requirements for Temperature and Humidity

To maintain a favorable working environment for the equipment, keep the proper
temperature and humidity in the equipment room. Table 11-4 gives the specific
requirements.
Table 1.1 Requirements for temperature and humidity

in front of and at the back of the cabinet (if any). The measurement point shall be
1.5 m (4.92 ft) above the ground and 0.4 m (1.31 ft) in front of the cabinet.
To meet the above requirements, take the following measures in the equipment room.

10


Requirements
Use the perennial temperature-control device no matter what the local climate is.
Mop the ground on a timed basis or use a humidifier to keep the proper humidity
in the equipment room in the dry area.
Use the dehumidifier in the place where the humidity if high.
11.6 Requirements for Anti-Interference

External noise over anti-interference tolerance of integrated circuit of equipment leads
to misoperation of the equipment. The entire equipment cannot work normally in that
situation. It is not feasible to remove or shield all interference. However, you may take
the following measures to suppress the interference:
The high frequency interference on electric networks comes from the coupling of
primary coil to secondary coil of the power transformer through distributed
capacitor. A low pass filter on led-in power cables and a proper power

To suppress the interference generated by transient changes in electric network,

you can lead in the power directly from the main transformer and add a filter

If BTS equipment connects to a 50 Hz mains power network where the above

interference sources exist, the voltage of the power network may sharply change
or even generate over-voltage upon a lightning strike. The interference enters
BTS and causes calculation errors to internal processors of BTS. Switch to
mains supply only when some effective measures have been taken against
