Cordex® CXPS-FR3 power system

For decades, ferroresonant rectifier modules have powered traditional telecom central offices. However, as ferros age and begin to fail, it is becoming difficult to find parts as well as qualified technicians to diagnose and repair the problems. Maintenance issues can result in lower network reliability. These issues, coupled with the ferros’ relative operational inefficiencies, are driving operators to upgrade their systems to modern, high efficiency switch mode rectifier modules. Alpha Technologies provides the ideal ‘like for like’ retrofit solution, with minimal installation time and disruption to the office. The interfaces to the Cordex® CXPS-FR3 have been engineered in such a fashion that the existing AC and DC infrastructure feeding the ferroresonant plants can be reused.

The building blocks for the Cordex® CXPS-FR3 power system are the highly reliable Cordex® HP 12.0kW and 4.0kW rectifier modules. Unlike other solutions in the market, the Cordex® CXPS-FR3 design enables operators to add up to 50 percent more power capacity or recover floor space savings. In addition, the wrap-around bay design deflects heat flow upwards, allowing operators to install batteries directly behind the bay. Furthermore, the bay also comes equipped with the Cordex® CXC HP controller system, which can further modernize the power plant with advanced control and monitoring features.
