Guardian Access M44 DC Power System

Product Information

Guardian M44 is a 6RU or 7RU high 19” rack-mounted, integrated DC power systems providing an output of 48VDC. These systems can accommodate between eight (6U) and twelve (7U) Guardian family FMPe30.48J hot-swap rectifiers or FPV30.48G hot-swap solar converters.

A load current of up to 700A is available with software controlled battery charge current subject to an overall 700A load plus charge. The rectifiers / solar converters are internally fan cooled with speed control which is a function of load and temperature, keeping acoustic noise to a minimum.

The DC output circuits can provide up to 23 loads which utilize circuit breakers with capacities from 4A to 150A plus up to six 100A to 300A breakers that provide battery protection. An optional programmable low voltage battery disconnect + shunt (LVBD) with 600A capacity is available for use with Lead Acid batteries; while an optional partial load disconnects (PLD), rated at 350A and also programmable, can provide non-critical load shedding when operating on batteries. When the LVBD option and battery breakers are not required the maximum number of available load breakers increases to 23.
