Telecom Rackmount
DC Circuit Breaker
Distribution Panel
The DST is a high density Telecom Rackmount DC Distribution Panel designed to accommodate virtually any 48V, 24V or 12V DC power distribution requirement. Its flexibility makes it ideal for all telecom site DC power requirements, large and small.
These distribution panels accommodate up to 10 or 20 circuit breakers (depending on model) within a compact rackmount housing, occupying only 2 RU of rack space. The circuit breakers feature a unique plug-in design which requires only front access for quick, easy installation during initial power system configuration, as well as future system expansion.
Features
Model DST-20A (UL) features dual isolated 10 circuit A and B buses, each rated at 450 amps, enabling
redundant power configuration or different voltages/ground references. A and B inputs can also be paralleled,
creating a single900 amp bus.
Model DST-10 (UL) has a single 450 amp bus which accepts up to 10 breakers.
The plug-in circuit breakers insert securely into sockets recessed in the front access panel. Breaker alarm
contacts allow optional remote tripped-breaker alarm/indication. A “mid-trip” function of the circuit breaker
provides quick visual identification of a failed circuit and distinguishes between an over-current trip and
intentional shut-off. When tripped, the toggle handle moves to a 90° position, halfway between the “on”
and manual “off” position.
Specify the required amperages when ordering and plug them into the panel during installation.
Input/output wiring is rear access via bus bars that accept single or double hole lugs. Input/output buses are secured to the load breaker sockets via solid nickel-plated copper bus material.
Mounting brackets are provided to adapt the panel for 19”or 23” racks. Snap-in hole plugs are provided for
unoccupied breaker positions and a clear protective cover which prevents accidental shut off of the breakers
and also provides for convenient placement of circuit identification labels.
Note: The DST is shipped standard without circuit breakers.
