This operating manual should be read through carefully before installing and operating this AC power distribution panel.
This distribution panel provides protected AC power distribution to telecom­munication equipment. It provides up to four circuit breakers on both the A and B sides of the panel. See Figure 1. The A and B loads can be in common (standard version) or isolated from each other (optional version). Total capac­ity for each A or B side is 50 amperes.
The DPAC1U distribution panel is only 1.75 inches (1 rack space) high to minimize rack space and can be mounted in either a 19- or 23-inch relay rack with corresponding brackets. It can be mounted from the front of the rack with offsets every ¼-inch from front to back to align with existing rack­mounted equipment.
The distribution panel can be configured differently for the A and B sides. The A and B sides can have different numbers of breakers and different breaker capacities. Each breaker on Option T can be from 5 to 30 amperes capacity; each breaker on Option C can be from 5 to 15 amperes capacity. The maximum capacity for each A or B side is 50 amperes. The distribution panel must be configured at the factory.
1.5
The rear panel connections have two options: Positronics connector input with NEMA 5-15R AC output receptacles (C Option) or barrier terminal strip connectors for both input and output connections (T Option).

2.2 Options. There are two sets of options available:
In the standard dual model (using sections A and B) the two sections are connected in common (parallel). In an optional model (option I) the A and B sections are isolated. There are two options for input and output connections. The T option provides a terminal strip for both; the C Option provides Positronics connectors for the input and NEMA 5-15R receptacles for the outputs.
2.3 Model Designation. The following Ordering Guide shows how the models are designated.

3.0 FRONT AND REAR PANEL DESCRIPTIONS
3.1 The front panel consists of the A and B sides with up to four circuit breakers
on each side. The circuit breakers are numbered to correspond to the output load connections or receptacles. See Figure 2. At the bottom of the center section is a slot for a wallet and designator card. This card permits the re­cording of each output circuit by number.
3.2 In Figure 2, views of the two rear panel options are shown. The first one shows terminal strip connections for both AC inputs and outputs on the A and B sides (Option T). This option also comes with a clear plastic safety cover over the terminal strips. The second shows Positronics connector inputs and NEMA 5-15R
receptacle outputs on A and B sides (Option C).

6.0 FUNCTIONAL DIAGRAM
A simplified schematic diagram of the AC Distribution Panels is shown in Figure 3. The diagram represents the A or B side of the panel. The input handles one or two inverters with up to 25A each. The output goes to as many as four AC circuits with a circuit breaker on each. The A and B sides can be in common (standard) or isolated (option). This is determined at the

8.0 BACK PANEL CONNECTIONS
8.1 General. Figure 2 shows the back panel connections for both versions of the
DPAC1U, the T and C Options. It should be noted that these AC Distribution Panels are specially designed for use with UNIPOWER Telecom’s INV2500 and INV2500-HS sine wave inverters. They may also, however, be used with other 115VAC inverters or AC power sources.
8.2 Inverter Inputs. Both versions of the DPAC1U have provisions for the inputs of up to four inverters, two on each A or B side. Each inverter input can have up to 25 amperes AC. If a shelf with two inverters in parallel is used, two cables must be connected from the inverter output to the DPAC1U, one to each of the
A side or B side inputs (1 and 2). In this case the inverter input
can be up to 50 amperes AC. See Figure 4(b). It should be noted that all inverters connected to the DPAC1U must have their
outputs in phase with each other because the inputs are all paralleled inside the distribution panel. The only exception to this is the version of the DPAC1U which has isolated A and B sections (Suffix code I). In this case the A and B sides can have different phases since they are not connected in common. However, the two inverters on the A side must be in phase with each other and likewise the two inverters on the B side.
DPAC1U SERIES
OPERATING MANUAL
8.3 Term
inal Strip Connections. For the “T” output option there are two 10-
terminal barrier strips on each A and B side of the panel. As shown in Figure 2, each A and B side has connections for two inverter inputs (up to 25A each) and four output loads (up to 50A total output). For each inverter input and each output load there are line, neutral and ground connection terminals. Each terminal strip output is rated up to 30 amperes.
8.4 NEMA 5-15R and Positronics Connections. For the “C” output option the input connections are to Positronics connectors, one for each of the four inverter inputs. The connector is no. PLA03MI10000 with MC112N contacts; the mating connector is PLA03F0050 with FC112N2 contacts. See Figure 5 for a diagram of the Positronics connectors. Each NEMA 5-15R receptacle is rated up to 15 amperes output.
8.5 Connecting Cables. Check with the factory on the availability of cables for making the interconnection between the Inverters and the DPAC1U.

8.6 Chassis Ground Connection. At the center, near the bottom of each unit, is the chassis ground terminal. This terminal is a no. 8-32 stud with a nut. It should be connected to the system frame ground. The terminal is in common with the AC ground.
9.0 UNPACKING AND INSPECTION
DPAC1U SERIES
OPERATING MANUAL
9.1
This AC power distribution panel was carefully tested, inspected and pack­aged for shipment from our factory. Upon receipt of the unit it should be carefully unpacked and inspected for any damage in shipment.
9.2
If there is evidence of damage,do not attempt to test the unit. The freight carrier should be notified immediately and a claim for the cost of the distribu­tion panel should be filed with the carrier for include the model and serial number of the damaged unit in all correspon­dence with the freight carrier. Also save the shipping carton and packing materials as evidence of damage for the freight carrier’s inspection.
9.3
UNIPOWER LLC will cooperate fully in case of any shipping damage investigation.
9.4
Always save the packing materials for later use in shipping the unit. Never ship the distribution panel without proper packing.
10.0 INSTALLATION
10.1 Mounting. This distribution panel can be mounted in either 19- or 23-inch
racks by using the appropriate brackets. Mount it from the front of the rack using the correct offsets to align with existing rack-mounted equipment. The bracket offsets are every quarter inch from front to back.
direct reimbursement. Be sure to
10.2 Connections. Connections to the AC Distribution Panel should be made as described in Sections 8.2 through 8.6. Wires or cables of proper AWG copper size should be used for the current carried. Make sure that all con­nections are clean and firm to minimize contact resistance. Make sure that the chassis ground is connected to the system frame ground.
11.0 SETUP AND TESTING
11.1 It is not ne
cessary to have the AC distribution panel mounted in a rack for
initial testing. This can be done on a bench. It is not necessary to have loads

connected to the panel for this testing.
11.2 With the input inverter or other AC power source “off”, connect the input
wires to inputs 1 or 1 and 2 of the A side of the distribution panel. Connect system frame ground to the chassis ground terminal. Set all circuit breakers to “on”.
11.3 Turn on the input power source. Check the AC output voltage from line to
neutral at each set of output terminals (loads) with a digital AC voltmeter. The voltage should be approximately 120VAC.
11.4 On the A side set all ciruit breakers to “off”. Check the AC output voltage as
before. All the load voltages should be zero.
11.5 Turn the input AC source off. Repeat the same tests of Sections 1 1.2 through
11.4 on the B side of the AC Distribution Panel.
11.6 Turn the input AC source off and disconnect the input wires. The distribution
panel may now be connected to its intended application.
11.7 If the AC distribution panel did not operate properly in the above tests, go
back and double check the connections. If the problem cannot be solved, call UNIPOWERat one of the below numbers:
