DC Telecom System Manufacturers & Exporters

Powertron's DC Telecom System is a modular 48VDC power plant built for cellular base stations, telecom data centres and remote communication hubs that need round-the-clock, redundant DC power. Output power runs from 6.4KW up to 32KW across standard variants, with hot-swappable rectifier modules and N+1 redundancy so a single module failure never interrupts the site. This page covers features, technical specification, the full model matrix, and how to select the right configuration for your network.

High Voltage DC Power Supply

DC Telecom System

Key Features :

  • Telecom-standard 48VDC output — plugs directly into existing BTS, fibre node and data centre DC distribution without a conversion stage.
  • N+1 redundancy with hot-swappable modules — a failed rectifier module can be replaced without powering down the site or the load it feeds.
  • Wide AC input range — tolerates the voltage variation typical of grid-fed and generator-backed telecom sites.
  • Integrated battery charging and backup support — VRLA or lithium (LFP) battery strings are charged and managed by the same system.
  • High efficiency, low heat generation — reduces both energy cost and the cooling load in enclosed telecom cabinets and shelters.
  • Built-in protections and 24/7-rated operation — engineered for continuous duty rather than intermittent industrial use.
  • Compact, scalable, rack-mount design — start with the capacity you need today and add modules as network load grows.
  • Real-time monitoring and remote control — power consumption, battery status and system health are visible without a site visit.

How It Works

A DC Telecom System is built around parallel rectifier modules that convert AC mains into regulated 48VDC, feeding both the connected telecom load and a battery string simultaneously. Because the modules operate in parallel with N+1 sparing, the system continues supplying full rated power even if one module fails or is pulled for maintenance — the remaining modules automatically absorb the load, and a technician can hot-swap the failed unit without a planned outage.

The battery bank (VRLA or lithium) is float-charged continuously and switches to full discharge duty the instant AC input is lost, with power distribution and monitoring circuits managing which loads draw from which battery string in extended outages. A supervisory monitoring and control layer tracks module health, battery state of charge, and power consumption in real time, and can alert or report remotely — which is what allows telecom operators to run these plants unattended at cell sites and remote hubs while still meeting 24/7 reliability targets.

Applications by Industry

Industry Application Load / Duty Character Recommended Configuration
Telecom / Cellular Base station and node DC power Continuous, 24/7, N+1 48VDC, 6.4–24KW ultimate
Data Centres Auxiliary/edge DC distribution Continuous, high availability 48VDC, 24–32KW ultimate
Oil & Gas Remote site communication power Continuous, harsh environment 48VDC with extended battery backup
Railway / Metro Trackside and station comms power Continuous 48VDC, rack-mount

Power Utilities & Substations SCADA and comms auxiliary power Continuous, mission-critical 48VDC with N+1 redundancy

Modular DC Telecom System vs. Conventional Fixed Rectifier

Criteria Modular DC Telecom System Conventional Fixed Rectifier
Redundancy N+1, hot-swappable modules Single unit — failure means downtime
Maintenance Swap a module live, no outage Requires planned shutdown to repair
Scalability Add modules as load grows Fixed capacity; oversizing needed upfront
Monitoring Real-time remote visibility Often local indication only
Efficiency at partial load Modules share load efficiently Fixed-size unit runs inefficiently under-loaded
Battery integration Charging & backup managed as one system Often a separate charger/battery specification
Footprint Compact, rack-mount, scalable Sized for maximum capacity from day one

Selection Checklist

  • Ultimate and loaded power requirement in KW (present load and 2–3 year growth estimate).
  • Battery chemistry preference — VRLA or lithium (LFP) — and required backup duration.
  • Redundancy requirement — N+1 is standard; confirm if higher redundancy is needed.
  • AC input source — grid only, or grid with generator/solar hybrid.
  • Site type — indoor shelter, outdoor cabinet, or rack room — and available rack space (rack units).
  • Monitoring requirement — local only, or remote/SNMP-capable supervisory system.
  • Site environment — temperature range, altitude, and any coastal/corrosive conditions.
  • Applicable telecom or utility standards the plant must be tested and certified against.

Customisation Capability

Standard capacities run from 6.4KW to 32KW ultimate, but Powertron also builds fully customised DC Telecom Systems where site load, redundancy level, or battery configuration falls outside the standard matrix. Customisation options include module count and sparing beyond N+1, mixed VRLA/lithium battery strings, extended monitoring and remote-management interfaces (including SNMP and third-party NMS integration), and enclosure or rack format to match shelter dimensions. For multi-site rollouts, configurations can be standardised across a fleet while still being tailored to each site's load profile — share your site survey data for a configuration-matched quotation.

Manufacturing & Quality

Every DC Telecom System is built at Powertron India's own manufacturing facility in Wagle Estate, MIDC, Thane (Maharashtra), where design, winding, assembly, and testing are carried out in-house rather than outsourced. Units go through a documented quality process before dispatch, and Powertron holds ISO, CE, BIS, and GeM empanelment credentials, with manufacturing recognised under the Make in India and MSME programmes. Beyond Thane, Powertron supports customers through sales offices in Delhi, Pune, Hyderabad, Bengaluru and Tamil Nadu, and serves export markets through international sales offices in Dubai, Singapore and Malaysia. Post-installation, the same team that engineers the unit is available for commissioning support, spares, and after-sales service, so buyers are not left dealing with a reseller once the order ships.

FAQ

What output voltage does the DC Telecom System deliver? +

48VDC, matching the standard used across telecom base stations, fibre nodes and data centre DC distribution.

What does N+1 redundancy mean in practice? +

One additional rectifier module beyond what's needed for full load is always running, so a single module failure doesn't interrupt power to the site.

Can I replace a failed module without shutting the system down? +

Yes, modules are hot-swappable — a technician can pull and replace a failed unit while the system continues supplying full load from the remaining modules.

What's the difference between 'ultimate' and 'loaded' power in the variant table? +

Ultimate power is the system's maximum rated capacity; loaded power is a typical operating point under normal site load — sizing decisions should account for both figures.

Can I use lithium batteries instead of VRLA? +

Yes, the system supports both VRLA and lithium (LFP) battery strings; lithium is often chosen for reduced weight and longer cycle life at remote sites.

Is remote monitoring included as standard? +

Real-time monitoring and control capability is a core feature of the platform; confirm your specific NMS/SNMP integration requirement when requesting a quotation.

Can the system be sized above 32KW? +

Yes, Powertron provides fully customised solutions above the standard variant range — share your load requirement with sales.

Is this system suitable for outdoor cabinet installation? +

Yes, with appropriate enclosure and thermal management specified at the time of order — confirm site environment when enquiring.

What certifications does Powertron hold? +

ISO, CE, BIS and GeM empanelment, with manufacturing recognised under Make in India and MSME — full certification images are available on request.
