Exit REMOTE POWER SYSTEM ”Turning your copper into gold”

Eltek 2 What? Powering remote electronics utilizing the existing copper network Also known as ‘span power’ or ‘line power’ Powering a broadband/xDSL network Increased bandwidth requires active components (DSLAM) closer to the end user Solutions for power distributions required

Eltek 3 What? CO site with existing 48Vdc system and battery backup Typical distance to remote DSLAM site is 5 to 10km

Eltek 4 Remote Powering concept Fed by existing 48Vdc or integrated Rectifier solution AC or DC n numbers of Remote Nodes Typically 5 – 10 km Central Office Remote DSLAM NODE Existing twisted pairs now made available for power distribution. ±190Vdc, 250mA Dc/dc converter in the Remote End supplying -48V

Eltek 5 Why? CAPEX & OPEX reductions Utilize the existing infrastructure Copper network, X-connects, etc. Eliminate the requirement for batteries and local power utilities Reduces the size of the DSLAM significantly Battery maintenance eliminated Increased speed of xDSL roll-out

Eltek 28 Fixed Parameters Central office voltage ±190Vdc = 380V Max current Derived from max output power, safety requirements (GR-1089-CORE, IEC/UL ): 100VA (W) per channel 380V Imax = Pmax/Vco = 100W/380V = 263 mA Safety margin and tolerances must be taken into account The maximum input current of the Remote End Converter must be limited to less than the maximum output current of the VA Limiter (next slide)

Eltek 29 Fixed Parameters cont’ Maximum Tolerance VA Limiter (5%) Worst case maximum output current VA Limter Worst case maximum input current Remote End Tolerance Remote End Converter (1%) current 263 mA 238 mA 235 mA

Eltek 30 Remote End Converter Max input current: 235 mA Efficiency: ~86% This steals power from the CO Power out = 86% of Power in Pin = Vin * Iin losses Output input

Eltek 31 Line Impedance Specific resistance for copper: Ohm/mm 2 /m (at 30°C) Resistance per km/kft for Cable size: 0.9 mm (AWG 19): r=27.6 Ohm/km, 8.4 Ohm/kft 0.6 mm (AWG 22): r=55.3 Ohm/km, 16.8 Ohm/kft 0.5 mm (AWG 24): r=87.8 Ohm/km, 26.8 Ohm/kft 0.4 mm (AWG 26): r=139.7 Ohm/km, 42.6 Ohm/kft Max impedance: The maximum line impedance is calculated from the stability criteria Next slides

Eltek 32 Stability 1 The obvious The power consumption has to be less than the power available If the power consumption exceeds the power supplied, the power train will collapse

Eltek 33 Stability 2 Dc/dc converters has inverse impedance characteristics (1/R) The load is constant If the input voltage drops, the converter will draw higher current to maintain the output voltage (with a constant power load) When the converter draws more current, the input voltage will drop further... Constant power load Constant power:

Eltek 34 Stability 3 Too high line impedance will result in decreasing output power for increasing current Unstable!

Eltek 35 Line Impedance cont’ Now we can find maximum cable length: AWG 19: 13.6 km / 44.7 kft AWG 22: 6.8 km / 22.3 kft AWG 24: 4.3 km / 14.0 kft AWG 26: 2.7 km / 8.8 kft To increase length pairs can be paralleled 2 pairs – double length 3 pairs – triple length

Eltek 36 Paralleling of pairs Cable resistance is increased The current is shared between the pairs If the cable resistance is equal, the current is shared equally The touch current remains the same Only single wire out of and into the modules connectors

Eltek 37 Line Impedance cont’ How does the line impedance affect the output power? Linearly decreasing with increasing line impedance

Eltek 38 Line Impedance cont’ Knowing the max line impedance, the minimum power per channel can be calculated

Eltek 40 Site Dependent parameters Power Consumption This is what the power system do; deliver a certain amount of power to the Remote End How many channels? Adding channels means adding power How many pairs? Adding (parallel) pairs means increasing cable length Wire gauge As seen, the wire gauge affects the line impedance. Use as low AWG as possible...
