[AFMUG] Issue with a -48 vdc Site! ground loop? Please Help!!
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?

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?

Have you tried isolating the PTP600 with a DC/DC converter (Meanwell RSD, etc) in between the rectifier and PIDU?

We have to use the duracom dc dc isolators for them but no issues once we do it. Basically same thing using meanwell product.

Does everything power normally prior to the fuse blowing? Does the ptp600 power and ping? Is the fuse properly sized?

Re: [AFMUG] Issue with a -48 vdc Site! ground loop? Please Help!!
I remember Ken pointing out that even fast-blow fuses have a time delay. If they're running right up around the limit, it does take time to open. I think the last thing you want to do is put in a bigger fuse if you suspect return path and/or polarity issues. Mixed voltages and -/+ return can really be a PITA to figure out sometimes. I would second the suggestion for popping in a Mean Well RSD if only to figure out if you have mixed chassis grounds. Cat5 shields come to mind. Are you passing the shields through the WB SS's?
