But on the bench, the chassis was probably not grounded.

ill check, but we did a bench test and it did not replicate the issue

  If you put the PIDU and PTP600 on a cardboard box or other insulating 
surface, can you see –48 VDC on their cases or chassis?

  i think so, afaik is floating ground

    Is the chassis of the PIDU or the PTP600 connected to your common ground?

    So we are moving a site form AC to DC -48 

    this is the setup:

    Emerson Rectifier feeding:

    Telco System MPLS router
    Planet Fiber SW
    2 Netonix DC Switches 
    2 SAF POE Injectors
    2 PTP600 PIDUs

    AFAIK all the mentioned gear above are floating ground

    We have this gear connected to the Netonix: Airfiber24, Epmp, PMP450

    all wireless gear is using shielded cable that is terminated in a WBMGF SS 
on the rack

    So this is the issue, we migrated everything to DC, when we connect the 
PTP600 PIDU to the rectifier, the fuse on the emerson output feeding the 
Netonix blows..not instantly.. it takes some 30-45 secs..

    im scratching my head on this one... any ideas?
