1. Introduction GPS4827 ABB Power developed the Galaxy Power System GPS 4827 to support -48 volt telecommunications powering solutions in worldwide markets. The GPS 4827 combines 50-ampere, fan-cooled, switchmode rectifiers, microprocessor control technologies, battery and load disconnect/reconnect options, and a comprehensive line of fuse and circuit breaker dc distribution options in a modular front-access design.
For customers in the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands, please dial 1-877-546-3243 (877 ABB) or for all other countries, please call 1-972-244-9288. This number is staffed from 7:00 am to 5:00 pm USA Central Time Zone (GMT -6), Monday through Friday, on normal business days.
A basic block diagram of the Galaxy Power System 4827 is shown in Figure 2-1. It illustrates the arrangement and interconnection of the system components from the ac input to the dc output. Figure 2-1 Block Diagram of the GPS4827 System Components The power system accepts alternating current from the commercial utility or a standby ac power source and rectifies it to produce dc power for the using equipment.
8. External Return Bars Overview Modular external return bus bar kits are available for the GPS4827 system. These kits are alternatives to the standard internal return buses. These kits allow for modular growth of the bars from bay to bay and offer additional cable landings.

A battery potential input is required, which must use an external 1K ohm, 2W current limiting resistor at the source if not using standard ABB Power LVD circuit boards or controller. This circuit is used to inform Galaxy that the monitoring circuit of a Low Voltage Disconnect device has failed. In standard Galaxy Power Systems, the Bay Interface board monitors these alarms and informs the Controller through the serial interface connection.

A ground referenced RS-232 local port is provided at the front of the display to allow easy connection to a personal computer or terminal using ANSI T1.317 object oriented command language. ABB Power’s EasyView is also available to provide a user friendly system interface locally or remotely. See figure 4-6.

This product operates equally well if installed as part of the Isolated Ground Plane (Isolated Bonding Network) or the Integrated Ground Plane (Mesh- Bonding Network, aka, Common Bonding Network). ABB recognizes there are different grounding techniques that are equally successful. Adhere to a commonly accepted and consistent grounding approach to ensure personnel safety, network protection, and proper equipment operation.
