Introduction This section provides information on the minimum installation requirements for ATSC E- Compact Series transmitters with recommendations on shelter, tower, antennas, cables, grounding, mains, transient preventions, etc. 2. Minimum Requirements 2.1. AC Mains - Wire Gauge The following details the consumption with the equipment running at its maximum power.
  • Page 16: Grounding

    E-Compact HP-BB3 Series 2.2. Grounding The grounding system to which the Comark TV transmitter will be attached is suggested to be designed and implemented by a qualified professional. An improper grounding system may jeopardize the equipment as well as the lives-of the professionals working in the shelter.
  • Page 17 E-Compact HP-BB3 Series Recommendations 1. We recommend that the transmitter "never see" the power grid directly. 2. We recommend the use of online double-conversion UPS and / or Delta- conversion online UPS built with transformer insulation and with power factor correction (PFC). No break Example with Isolating Transformer Benefits: These types of UPS bring great protection and insulation to the transmitter due to its design.

    E-Compact HP-BB3 Series The Power Amplifier Drawer MOD GV 40272/40276 uses eight RF amplifier pallets operating in parallel. The chassis is configured with four pallets per side (top & bottom). Each pallet incorporates the Ampleon BLF-888E Broadband Doherty LDMOS device. Doherty amplifiers significantly improve efficiency by passing the signal peaks in the class C device while using the class AB device to handle average power.

    E-Compact HP-BB3 Series In the EC701HP-BB3, EC702HP-BB3 and EC703HP-BB3, which uses one, two and three Power Amplifiers, if one PS is removed the output power of the PA is reduced to 40% of the nominal power of the PA. From the EC704HP-BB3 up to EC712HP-BB3, which uses four or more amplifier, if one PS is removed the PA is shut off and the transmitter output power results follows the equations below.
