Operation 
Rectifier operation 
The main AC line voltage is rectified and filtered to an unregulated high DC 
voltage. The input circuit provides EMI filtering, inrush current limiting, low 
and high AC inhibition, lightning and surge voltage protection, and input 
fault protection through an AC breaker. 
The high frequency isolating power section consists of a full bridge 
converter using power MOSFETs and a high frequency power 
transformer. 
The high frequency AC voltage generated at the secondary of the power 
transformer is rectified and filtered. The output section provides EMI 
filtering, a shunt for output DC current sense, and output protection in 
the form of a DC breaker. A current mode pulse width regulator varies 
the pulse width of the signal driving the power MOSFETs. This allows 
regulation to the output DC voltage. 
The monitoring circuitry includes soft start, rectifier fail alarm (RFA), 
rectifier RFA/ON LED, local and remote equalize, temporary release, 
thermal shutdown, AC valid, local and remote high voltage shut down 
(HVSD), local and remote HVSD reset, logic valid, fan failure detection, 
and a fan failure LED. 
A three-digit output current meter reads the output shunt and displays 
the value using an integrated logic circuit. 
An auxiliary power supply provides the various voltages required by the 
internal circuitry and cooling fan.
