Re: [WISPA] Dual Power Supply, how to?

2008-10-24 Thread Eric Rogers
We currently use DC power supplies, but non-redundant
http://www.solaheviduty.com/products/powersupplies/sdp.htm.  We use
terminal strips to distribute the power.  For us to change, we just
replace the power supplies with this...
http://www.solaheviduty.com/products/powersupplies/sdnpred.htm.  That
has the rectifiers and diodes in place with LED status indicators to
show the status of the power.  Then you can put them in parallel and put
2 UPSs in place for failure and surge suppression.

2008-10-24 Thread Faisal Imtiaz
I would agree, it is very easy to go overboard and over engineer to the n'th
degree, however if you do that you will find that you would be introducing
more elements which would cause a negative effect.

E.g. Heat and power consumption...

Coming for the wired world, where only now folks have started to pay
attention to power comsumption and heat generation as being a bad thing.. I
consistently amazed to see some very 'powerful' wireless equipment working
with a 'wall wart'... It takes a bit for it to sync indue to the low
power consumption that is all what is needed..


Moral of the story:  Very easy to get carried away and over engineer, but
doing it within reasonable limits is the right thing to do.

... Just me two cents..

BTW: I have one of the APC redundant power switches, purchased it, thinking
it would be a good thing to use... But never put it to use... Don't need it
in a Data center !

Not necessarily - your goal is to keep it powered 100% of the time.  What
part seems to go bad for you most of the time?  The power supply, PoE, DC

If the power supply on the board goes bad you're SOL, sorry.  You'll have to

If the PoE or DC jack goes back, you need to get both of them powered.

Not necessarily - your goal is to keep it powered 100% of the time.  What
part seems to go bad for you most of the time?  The power supply, PoE, DC
jack, power company/UPS unit?

If the power supply on the board goes bad you're SOL, sorry.  You'll have to
find another product.

If the PoE or DC jack goes back, you need to get both of them powered.

If you have the power company and UPS go bad find a second source of power

Just a quick follow up.

A quick search of the internet shows up a lot of devices.
(APC makes a few different types).
These are either called Dual AC Automatic Transfer Switch.
Or depending on your voltage needs, you could modify an  Dual AC power
supply module for Computer 
Or find a AC to DC rack mount powersupplies used in Telco's .
They are typically modular but big and heavy.

Many options.

We have a reason for this, we design our sites with dual power work ease
of
work ...Side A and Side B.  Side A is connected to the UPS Plant, Side B
to
Utility.  In Case Of UPS failure, we are not out.

Yes, you could do this

You will need to pick the right diode for the job.

But what brings this on?  

I've had almost no PS failures that were not part of some major damage.
(lightning, power co. problem...  480V on 110V line)

If you are having many PS failures, you might look at the load vs the PS
rating.  Don't forget the radio cards...

Re: [WISPA] Dual Power Supply, how to?

2008-10-24 Thread Josh Luthman
My experience has been less then perfect with APC.  The 19" rack ones have
been pretty good but the small 7 amp, 11 amp, tiny desktop models have gone
bad on me.  Those units die way too often =/

Re: [WISPA] Dual Power Supply, how to?

2008-10-24 Thread Faisal Imtiaz
 
Just a quick follow up.

A quick search of the internet shows up a lot of devices.
(APC makes a few different types).
These are either called Dual AC Automatic Transfer Switch.
Or depending on your voltage needs, you could modify an  Dual AC power
supply module for Computer 
Or find a AC to DC rack mount powersupplies used in Telco's .
They are typically modular but big and heavy.

Many options.

Re: [WISPA] Dual Power Supply, how to?

2008-10-23 Thread Blair Davis




Yes, you could do this

You will need to pick the right diode for the job.

But what brings this on?  

I've had almost no PS failures that were not part of some major
damage.  (lightning, power co. problem...  480V on 110V line)

If you are having many PS failures, you might look at the load vs the
PS rating.  Don't forget the radio cards...

Why couldn't you put two power supplies together into one plug, then if one

possible transformer shorting the other out or draining  the power from the
good one? 
Can that work?

Why not use two power supplies, one on the dc jack and the other on

I am no electrician by any means but I think using both the DC jack and PoE,
technically speaking, would freak the board's power supply out.

You'll need a board with dual power supplies.  I believe powerrouter
has a model but "anything" x86 with that feature works :)
