Structural Characteristics High capacity Ovation power module form factor. Rear gold plated edge connector connects to rack backplane power bus. Front panel has large ventilation grille for enhanced heat dissipation, LED indicators and test points. Internal layout separates high voltage AC section and low voltage DC section with physical isolation barrier. Thermal sink structure reduces working temperature of power semiconductor devices.
Working Principle AC power enters WH5-2FF and passes EMI filter to remove power noise. Rectifier converts AC to high voltage DC bus. High frequency switching stage and transformer step down voltage to required DC level for Ovation backplane. Feedback regulation circuit stabilizes output voltage under varying load. Protection circuit monitors voltage, current and internal temperature. Fault condition triggers shutdown. In redundant configuration, two WH5-2FF modules share rack load continuously.
Installation Requirements
- Insert WH5-2FF into dedicated power slot of Ovation rack, push fully and lock front fixing screw.
- Connect AC power cable to module input terminal and tighten terminal screw securely.
- Set power redundancy parameters in Ovation engineering workstation when using dual power supplies.
- Complete power-on test and DC output voltage measurement before loading I/O modules.
- Ensure cabinet protective grounding is reliable, grounding resistance less than 4 ohms.
- Keep ventilation grille clean to maintain heat dissipation performance.
Usage Precautions
- Do not open module housing. Internal high voltage capacitor stores electric charge after power cut.
- Do not apply AC input outside rated voltage range.
- Calculate total rack load current before adding I/O cards to avoid exceeding module rated capacity.
- Cut off AC input power before removing module from rack. Live hot removal is forbidden.
- No field repairable components. Replace whole module upon failure.
- Prevent metal debris falling into ventilation grille and rack slot.
