Overview

SIST ETS 300 132-1 E1:2006 is a European Telecommunication Standard developed by the Slovenski inštitut za standardizacijo (SIST) and harmonized with ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards Institute). This document specifies requirements for the power supply interface at the input to telecommunications equipment, focusing on systems operated by alternating current (ac) derived from direct current (dc) sources. The objective is to ensure electrical compatibility and interoperability between power supply systems and telecom equipment, as well as among multiple load units sharing the same supply.

This standard addresses the output performance of ac power supplies derived from dc sources, the input requirements of telecommunications equipment connected via interface "A", and references relevant safety and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) standards. Its implementation supports safe, reliable, and uniform power supply integration in telecom applications.

Key Topics

• Power Supply Interface (Interface "A"): Defines the point between the power supply system and telecommunications equipment, where all electrical requirements apply.
• Nominal and Service Voltage Ranges: Specifies a nominal supply voltage of 230 V AC at interface "A", with a normal operating range of 207 V to 253 V AC and frequency between 48-52 Hz.
• Performance under Abnormal Voltages: Covers equipment protection, requiring operation without damage under steady-state voltages below 207 V AC and resilience to temporary fluctuations and surges.
• Inrush Current and Surge Protection: Outlines maximum allowable inrush currents, testing methods, and selection of protective devices to avoid unwanted tripping of fuses or circuit breakers during equipment startup.
• Earthing and Bonding: Mandates proper earthing practices to ensure electrical safety, referencing ETS 300 253.
• Safety and EMC Requirements: Refers to international standards such as EN 60950 for hazardous voltages and ETS 300 386-1 for EMC compliance.
• Equipment Interoperability: Facilitates use and maintenance of telecommunications equipment from multiple vendors in the same power infrastructure.

Applications

This standard is highly relevant for organizations involved in the design, installation, and operation of telecommunications centers and related infrastructure. Practical applications include:

• Telecommunications Centers and Exchanges: Ensuring reliable power for core network equipment, with interface “A” as the defined input point.
• Customer Premises Equipment: Applying standardized power inputs for devices at client sites, allowing uniform supply systems.
• Power Supply Systems Design: Enabling standardization and compatibility in the implementation of stabilized AC output derived from DC sources, such as battery-backed inverter systems.
• Multi-Load Power Integration: Safeguarding performance and minimizing interference when multiple telecom devices share the same supply interface.
• Operational Safety and Compliance: Meeting European regulatory requirements for power supply safety and EMC, crucial for continued operation and market acceptance.

Related Standards

To ensure comprehensive compliance and best practice in safety, performance, and compatibility, the following standards are referenced in SIST ETS 300 132-1 E1:2006:

• ETS 300 132-2: Covers requirements for power supply interfaces operated directly by DC voltage (e.g., -48 V DC systems).
• ETS 300 253: Earthing and bonding for telecommunication equipment.
• EN 60950: Safety of information technology equipment.
• IEC 38: Standard voltages.
• IEC 364-4-41/364-5-54: Electrical installations of buildings - safety and earthing.
• ETS 300 386-1: Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) for telecom network equipment.
• EN 41003: Safety requirements for network-connected equipment.

1 Scope
This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) contains requirements for:
- the output performance of the (stabilized) ac power supply derived from dc sources as specified in
ETS 300 132-2 [9]; and
- the input of the telecommunications equipment connected to interface "A", powered by ac not
directly provided by the mains.
This ETS also makes reference to safety and EMC standards which are in accordance with the relevant
European and international standards.
This ETS aims at providing compatibility between the power supply equipment and the power consuming
telecommunications equipment, and also between different load units connected to the same power
supply.
NOTE 1: To ensure satisfactory performance, the connection of telecommunications equipment
into installations is subject to the prevailing conditions of that installation and is subject
to the agreement of both parties.
NOTE 2: For dc power supply systems operated at a nominal voltage of -48 V , ETS 300 132-2
dc
is available.
The power supply interface, interface "A" of figure 1, is a physical point to which all the requirements are
related. This point is situated between the power supply system(s) and the power consuming
telecommunications equipment.
NOTE 3: Interface "A" is located at the power terminals of the telecommunications equipment.
Subject to the installation preconditions, this point may be located at any other point
between the power supply system and the telecommunications equipment by mutual
agreement of both parties.
The requirements at interface "A" apply to:
- the output of the power supply equipment or power supply installation of telecommunications
centres;
- the power supply input of telecommunications equipment installed at telecommunication centres;
- telecommunications equipment, installed in customers' premises, whose power interface "A" is also
used by equipment requiring a supply to this specification.
NOTE 4: Normally there is more than one load unit connected to interface "A". In some of these
cases interface "A" might undergo further restrictions with respect to noise limits or
other disturbances.
NOTE 5: This ETS also gives requirements on disturbances on the power supply interface "A".
However, continuous wave phenomena above 20 kHz are not covered within this ETS.
ETS 300 386-1 [8] is applicable for this frequency range.
NOTE 6: The transients to which immunity is specified in this ETS are characterized by a high
energy content such that electrical stress may be caused. Fast transients, the effects
of which appear mainly as interference, are covered by ETS 300 386-1 [8].
NOTE 7: An example of a configuration in which the interface "A" is identified is given in
annex C.

The purpose of this ETS is:
- to enable the use of a power supply system with the same characteristics for all
telecommunications equipment defined in the area of application;
- to facilitate interworking of different (types of) load units;
- to facilitate the standardization of telecommunications equipment;
- to facilitate the installation, operation and maintenance in the same network of equipment and
telecommunications systems from different origins.
