Connecting Power and Ground

This chapter explains how to connect the power and ground for NCS 2006 shelf.

The sections are:

Power and Ground Description

Ground the equipment according to Telcordia standards or local practices. The following sections describe power and ground for the NCS 2006 shelves.

Note

For detailed instructions on grounding the NCS 2006 chassis, see the Electrostatic Discharge and Grounding Guide for Cisco NCS 2000 Series.

ANSI Power and Ground

The NCS 2006 has redundant AC and DC power modules.

For redundant AC power feeds, install both the AC power modules and use the two power cables (right and left cables) shipped with the NCS 2006 and one ground cable. For an AC power supply, the fuse rating must not exceed 10A, 15A, or 20A. For North America, the branch circuit protection must be rated 20A. The overcurrent/short circuit protection must be in accordance with local and national electrical codes. The voltage rating value for AC power ranges between 100 VAC to 240 VAC depending on the standards in various countries. This product is intended for use on the TN and TT power systems.

For redundant DC power feeds, install both the DC power modules and use four power cables and one ground cable. For a single power feed, only two power cables (#8 AWG or larger, copper conductor, 194 degrees F [90 degrees C] minimum) and one ground cable (#6 AWG or larger) are required. Use a conductor with low impedance to ensure circuit overcurrent protection. However, the conductor must have the capability to safely conduct any faulty current that might be imposed. See DC Power Specifications for the fuse ratings applicable for different DC power modules.

The DC power modules have –48 VDC or –60 VDC #8 dual-hole lug power terminals for. The terminals are labeled RET and –48 V or –60 V on the DC power modules.

Note

When the NCS 2006 shelf is powered at –60 VDC (nominal), only the TNC, OPT-AMP-C, OPT-AMP-17-C, OPT-EDFA-17, and OPT-EDFA-24 cards, and the NCS2006-ECU-60 can be installed.

We recommend the following wiring conventions, but customer conventions prevail:

Red wire for battery connections (–48 VDC or –60 VDC).
Black wire for battery return connections (RET).
The battery return connection is treated as DC-I, as defined in Telcordia GR-1089-CORE, Issue 6.

The ground lug must be a dual-hole type, UL Listed, CSA certified and rated to accept the #6 AWG cable. Two ground posts with two M5 nuts are provided on the NCS 2006 to accommodate the dual-hole lug.

Note

Only use the power cables shipped with the NCS 2006 shelf.

ETSI Power and Ground

The NCS 2006 for ETSI has –48 VDC or –60 VDC power connectors (DSUB for DC power module) on the DC power module. For redundant DC power feeds, install both the DC power modules and use the two power cables shipped with the NCS 2006 and one ground cable. For a a DC power supply, the fuse rating must not exceed 40A.

Caution

Only use the power cables shipped with the NCS 2006 shelf.

Warning

Blank faceplates (filler panels) serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to hazardous voltages and currents inside the chassis; they contain electromagnetic interference (EMI) that might disrupt other equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis. Do not operate the system unless all cards, power modules, and faceplates are in place. Statement 261

Warning

Statement 1046

Warning

Hazardous voltage or energy may be present on DC power terminals. Always replace cover when terminals are not in service. Be sure uninsulated conductors are not accessible when cover is in place. Statement 1075

Caution

The NCS 2006 relies on the protective devices in the building installation to protect against short circuit, overcurrent, and ground faults. Ensure that the protective devices are properly rated and comply with national and local codes.

Note

The battery return connection is treated as DC-I, as defined in Telcordia GR-1089-CORE Issue 5.

Note

If the system loses power or both the TNC, TNCE, TSC, or TSCE cards are reset, and the system is not provisioned to get the time from a Network Time Protocol/Simple Network Time Protocol (NTP/SNTP) server, you must reset the NCS 2006 clock. After powering down, the date defaults to January 1, 1970, 00:04:15. To reset the clock, see the “NTP-G24 Set Up Name, Date, Time, and Contact Information” procedure of the “Turn Up a Node” chapter in the Cisco NCS 2002 and NCS 2006 Configuration Guide. If you are using the TNC, TNCE, TSC, or TSCE cards, the system clock will run for up to three hours. In this case, no action would be required.

Procedure

Step 1

Connect the return cables of the power supply to the Earth ground located at the power supply side.

Step 2

Connect the office power according to the fuse panel engineering specifications.

Step 3

Measure and cut the cables as needed to reach the NCS 2006 from the fuse panel.

Step 4

Address the power according to local site practice.

Step 5

Strip 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) of insulation from all power cables that you will use.

Step 6

Crimp the lugs onto the ends of all the power leads.

Step 7

Verify that the DC power module is installed in Slot A or Slot B (or both) of the NCS 2006 shelf.

Step 8

Remove the terminal block protective covers from the DC power modules (see the figure below).

Figure 4. Connecting Office Power—DC Power Modules (ANSI Only)

Step 9

Unscrew the nuts from the terminal block (see the figure below).

Step 10

Insert the lugs as shown in the figure below. The top cable is for RET and the bottom cable is for –48 V/–60 V.

Step 11

Insert the lock washers and nuts to the terminal block (see the figure below). Tighten the nuts to a torque value of 20 in-lb (2.25 N-m).

Figure 5. Connecting Office Power—DC Power Modules (ANSI Only)

Step 12

Mount the terminal block protective covers on the DC power modules (see the figure below).

Note

Caution

Before you make any crimp connections, coat all bare conductors (battery, battery return, and frame ground) with an appropriate antioxidant compound. Bring all unplated connectors, braided strap, and bus bars to a bright finish, then coat with an antioxidant before you connect them. You do not need to prepare tinned, solder-plated, or silver-plated connectors and other plated connection surfaces, but always keep them clean and free of contaminants.

Caution

When terminating power, return (RET), and frame ground, do not use soldering lug, screwless (push-in) connectors, quick-connect, or other friction-fit connectors.

Warning

To reduce the risk of electric shock, switch on the power only after the power cord is completely installed into the power module. Statement 390

Procedure

Step 1

Using a voltmeter, verify the office battery and ground at the following points on the fuse and alarm panel:

To verify the power, place the black test lead of the voltmeter to the frame ground. Place the red test lead on the A-side connection and verify that it is between –40.5 VDC and –72.0 VDC. Place the red test lead on the B-side connection and verify that it is between –40.5 VDC and –72.0 VDC.

Note

For nominal steady state voltage of –48 VDC, the operating voltage range for the chassis is –40.5 VDC (minimum) to –57.6 VDC (maximum).For nominal steady state voltage of –60 VDC, the operating voltage range for the chassis is –50.0 VDC (minimum) to –72.0 VDC (maximum).

To verify the ground, place the black test lead of the voltmeter to the frame ground. Place the red test lead on the A-side return ground and verify that no voltage is present. Place the red test lead on the B-side return ground and verify that no voltage is present.

Step 2

To power up the node, insert the fuse into the fuse position according to site practice. The fuse rating must not exceed 40 A.

Step 3

Using a voltmeter, verify the NCS 2006 shelf for –48 VDC or –60 VDC battery and ground:

To verify the A-side of the shelf, place the black lead of the voltmeter to the frame ground. Place the red test lead to the –48 V or –60 V (A-side battery connection) red cable. Verify that it reads between –40.5 VDC and –72.0 VDC. Then place the red test lead of the voltmeter to the RET1 (A-side return ground) black cable and verify that no voltage is present.

Note

To verify the B-side of the shelf, place the black test lead of the voltmeter to the frame ground. Place the red test lead to the –48 V (B-side battery connection) red cable. Verify that it reads between –40.5 VDC and –72.0 VDC. Then place the red test lead of the voltmeter to the RET2 (B-side return ground) black cable and verify that no voltage is present.

Note

If the NCS 2006 shelf is being powered at –60 VDC nominal voltage, the door must be kept closed during regular operation.
