I hope that Edgepoint doesn’t fry if the input is 1 or 2 volts above 54 VDC.
If it sees the unregulated battery string voltage, normally you want an upper limit of 56 volts. 60 would be even better.

I'm looking at the Ubiquiti EdgePoint EP-S16. It takes a 54V DC input, has SFP+ uplink ports and twelve 802.3af/at ports. I don't actually expect to use every port, but in theory you could load that up to over 300W, and if I make sure to size the UPS for the switch then it's more idiot proof when people come along and add stuff. Ubiquiti has a 54V UPS module now, and you can put in 2+0 150W power supplies for 300W total, but it's an indoor case and operating temp only down to 0c. By the time I put that in a heated outdoor box it doesn't look too attractive anymore. I'm very familiar with the Traco and similar products. It would just be hard to beat $650 for a complete system using modular DIN components in a box. There's also something to be said for the simplicity of one part on the BOM. Of course I could use the smaller EdgePoint, but then I don't have the 10Gig uplink. I'm checking with Cyberpower on what happens in an overload condition...maybe the guy who adds one AP too many will realize his mistake very quickly. -Adam On 12/19/2019 3:05 PM, Ken Hohhof wrote: You are looking at 48VDC output, or AC with a 48V battery string? Note that unit seems to have around 700 watt hours of batteries, not bad, but if you are running 300W or 600W of loads, it’s not going to give you much runtime without adding more batteries. We have a couple Alpha Micro350 systems at some small sites, which looks physically similar, but that’s AC output. We only use them at small sites because it’s not enough batteries for a large site. Normally we would put a Traco TSP BCM48 and a TSP360-148 or TSP600-148 in the same enclosure with our other DIN rail equipment and maybe a bunch of 100 Ah batteries in a separate battery box. Or maybe 4 x 22 Ah batteries in the same enclosure, if we don’t need a lot of runtime.

They're $650-700 retail and frankly, that's really not a bad price for a one-and-done 48V outdoor power system. <whining> ....but 150W is pretty small. I wish there was a 300W or 600W option.
