1. Overview
The module adopts the standard Ovation rack plug-in mechanical structure, fully compatible with standard rack backplane slots. Stable DC power output from redundant main power supplies is fed into this distribution module and split into multiple electrically isolated output branches. Each branch is equipped with replaceable fuses, voltage/current sampling circuits and status feedback loops to supply power to designated rack slots, DPUs and I/O assemblies. Meanwhile, fault signals including fuse burnout, overvoltage, undervoltage and overload are transmitted to the DPU and upper monitoring system via the backplane bus. Each finished module passes long-term factory full-load durability testing, output voltage calibration and high-voltage insulation withstand testing to guarantee stable long-term power splitting performance.
2. Core Functional Features
2.1 Multi-channel Isolated Branch Power Distribution
Realizes single-input multi-output power shunting; each output branch supplies power to a fixed group of rack modules, with electrical isolation between individual branches. Overload or short-circuit faults on one single branch cannot propagate to other branches or the total rack input power supply.
2.2 Per-branch Independent Fuse Overcurrent Protection
Each power branch is fitted with a dedicated replaceable miniature fuse. Short-circuit or overload conditions will only blow the corresponding branch fuse, without triggering full rack power outage. Spare fuse holders are reserved to enable fast on-site maintenance and replacement.
2.3 Real-time Sampling & Remote Upload of Power Parameters
Onboard sampling circuits continuously collect each branch’s output voltage, load current and the module’s internal temperature. Operating data can be remotely uploaded to operator stations for real-time display and historical trend archiving.
2.4 Latched Local Fault Indication & Remote Alarm Triggering
When a fuse blows, branch voltage abnormality, overload or overtemperature occurs, the module latches the fault state, illuminates the front panel local fault indicator, and sends an alarm signal to the upper monitoring platform for remote fault prompting and rapid positioning.
2.5 Online Hot-swap Maintenance Support
With dual redundant main power supplies operating normally, this distribution module can be replaced online without cutting power to the entire cabinet. Existing control logic and closed-loop regulation loops maintain continuous undisturbed operation.
2.6 Built-in EMI Filter Anti-interference Circuit
An input-side high-frequency filter suppresses grid surges and coupled electromagnetic interference, reduces output voltage ripple, and improves power supply quality and stable operation for downstream control modules.
2.7 Native System Compatibility
Perfectly matched with Ovation standard racks, backplanes, redundant power supplies, DPUs and full-series I/O modules. No adapter boards or cabinet reconstruction modifications are required for installation, suitable for new cabinet assembly and spare part replacement during unit renovation projects.
