AC convenience outlet, AC PDA, and AC line surge protection
AC convenience outlet
Cell sites must be equipped with at least one duplex AC convenience outlet, which is
needed for installation and maintenance procedures. The outlet is required to power test
equipment and installation tools. The duplex outlet must be protected in accordance with
national and local electrical codes. An outlet must be installed within 1.5 meters (5 feet)
of the 9927 Distributed Base Station cabinets. Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI)
or Residual Current Devices (RCD), used in non-North American type installations, are
recommended and must be used where required by code.
For NAR installations, this AC convenience outlet is provided in the 9927 Distributed
Base Station Outdoor Cabinet. There is no need for the customer to provide an additional
AC convenience outlet at the site.
AC PDA
The AC Power Distribution Assembly (AC PDA) is inside the 9927 Distributed Base
Station cabinet with integrated power. AC power to the 9927 Distributed Base Station
Outdoor Cabinet must be supplied from an external AC service panel board or branch
circuit load center capable of supplying a two-pole single-phase circuit to power the 9927
Distributed Base Station Outdoor Cabinet at the site.
The AC PDA is equipped with a terminal block rail populated with “strip and poke”
terminals for connection of the AC input conductors and the equipment grounding
conductor. The terminals are configured for either North American 120/240 V, 3-wire
single-phase connections, 120/208 V, 3-wire single-phase connections, or for single-phase
230 V (line-to-neutral) connections used in other locations around the globe.
When a North American NEMA 15A-240V duplexed AC convenience outlet is equipped,
a terminal is provided for the connection of the neutral conductor for this outlet.
The AC PDA in the 9927 Distributed Base Station cabinet can only be used for
distributing AC power to Alcatel-Lucent equipment.
AC line surge protection
Important! The 9927 Distributed Base Station Outdoor Cabinet is not equipped with
AC line surge protection. AC line surge protection is required at the site's main AC
panel.
A surge protection device capable of discharging the surge waveforms as defined in IEEE
C62.41 (1991), Recommended Practice on Surge Voltage in Low-Voltage AC Power
Circuits, for Location Category "C3" and "High System Exposure" must be installed in
the AC panel board or load center supplying AC power to the power cabinet and/or
basestand frame with integrated power. The AC panel board or load center, surge
