Electrical Site Requirements

AC Power Requirements

TABLE A-2 AC Power Requirements

Electrical Element

Requirement

Voltage

100 VAC to 240 VAC (nominal)

Frequency

47-63 Hz

Input current

< 2.0 amps @ 100 VAC (150 Watts)

Max. input surge current

  • 20 amps peak on a cold start (after the AC power has dropped off for >60 seconds) or on a restart (after the AC power has been removed for 200 milliseconds or longer)
  • 100 amps peak on a warm start or a restart (after the AC power has been removed for <200 milliseconds but >20 milliseconds)

The surge current decays to normal operating current in less than 200 milliseconds. The surge current's decaying peaks are for less than 3 milliseconds duration in each half cycle.


Overcurrent Protection Requirements



Note - Overcurrent protection devices must meet applicable national and local electrical safety codes and be approved for the intended application.



Disconnecting the Power for Servicing

You can disconnect the power for servicing in any of the following ways:

Ensure that all methods of disconnecting the power remain accessible after installation.

Caution - External filtering and surge suppression devices might be required on the power feeds where branch circuit electromagnetic characteristics are unknown.



DC Source Power Requirements

TABLE A-3 DC Power Requirements

Electrical Element

Requirement

Voltage

-48 VDC

Input current

< 4.0 amps @ -40 VDC (150 W)

Max. input surge current

  • 20 amps peak on a cold start (after the DC power has dropped off for >60 seconds) or on a restart (after the DC power has been removed for 200 milliseconds or longer)
  • 100 amps peak on a warm start or a restart (after the DC power has been removed for <200 milliseconds but >4.5 milliseconds.)

The surge current decays to normal operating current in less than 200 milliseconds.


DC power must be:



Note - The DC version of the array must be installed in a restricted access location. According to the intent of the National Electrical Code, a restricted access location is an area intended for qualified or trained personnel only and has access controlled by some sort of locking mechanism, such as a key lock or an access card system.



Overcurrent Protection Requirements



Note - Overcurrent protection devices must meet applicable national and local electrical safety codes and be approved for the intended application.



DC Supply and Ground Conductor Requirements

 


Environmental Specifications

The Sun StorEdge S1 array is certified to Telcordia NEBS GR-63-CORE Level 3 (Earthquake Risk Zone 4).

TABLE A-4 Temperature Specifications

Status

Temperature Range

Operating

41°F to 104°F, (5°C to 40°C)

Short-term* operating[1]

23°F to 131°F, (-5°C to 55°C)

Nonoperating

-40°F to 158°F, (-40°C to 70°C)


TABLE A-5 Humidity Specifications

Status

Relative Humidity (non-condensing) Range

Operating

 

5% to 85% (but not to exceed 0.024 kg water/kg of dry air)

Short-term* operating[2]

5% to 90% (but not to exceed 0.024 kg water/kg of dry air)

Nonoperating
