7.1 Site earth and BTS grounding requirements

Site earthing and site equipment grounding considerations and recommendations.
BTS site grounding is divided into two contexts: site earthing and site equipment
grounding.
To protect the BTS from damaging over voltages through antenna equipment,
communication cables, or power supply lines, grounding cabling must be planned and
installed before the installation of the base station. To avoid interference, it is
recommended that large grounding systems are designed case-specifically.
The function of the site earth is to convoy the lethal and hazardous voltages and electric
currents from the site main grounding point (main grounding busbar) to the earth.
The impedance of the earth connection should be as low as possible:
• The earthing (grounding) resistance target of the BTS site is ≤10 Ω. If it is not
possible to reach this target because of the difficult conditions, for instance in areas
such as solid rocks or dry desert, the earthing (grounding) resistance can be max.
150 Ω.
• The cross-sectional area of the Main Earthing Conductor should not be smaller than
live (L) and neutral never less than 6 mm2 (10 AWG), recommended size is 16 mm2
(6 AWG). For NEBS installations, 16 mm2 (6 AWG) or higher is required.
Site equipment grounding is required to ensure personnel safety and to avoid

electrostatic discharge which can damage the equipment.
An AC power plug with a protective earth (PE) connection is not sufficient. Grounding
must have a fixed, non-removable connection.
BTS DC power input must be floating -48 VDC, or positive grounded. Negative
grounding is not allowed. Note that the fuse protection does not work with negative
grounding. Note also that surge and lightning protection may not work properly with
negative grounding.
In a +24 VDC system, a Flexi Power DC/DC Module (FPDA) or a similar safety-approved
DC/DC converter must be used to convert the negative grounded +24 VDC to floating
-48 VDC
g Note: Follow local requirements for earthing (grounding). The principles and
requirements vary in different countries.
Observe the following recommendations when planning the BTS grounding:
• Grounding cable cross-section has to be more than any of AC or DC power feeding

cable cross-section.
• The grounding cable is connected with screws to the BTS mains grounding point.
• The grounding cable must be connected to a main grounding busbar with a minimum
of 6 mm2 (10 AWG) grounding cable.
78 DN0951839 Issue: 08D

Flexi Multiradio Base Station and Flexi Multiradio 10 Power requirements
• Route the grounding cables as directly as possible from the equipment to the
grounding point. Avoid unnecessary loops and sharp bending of the grounding cable.
The grounding cables should not be run parallel with power cables.
• The external antenna feeders must also be grounded according to the local
legislation if the antennas are exposed to lightning.
• The BTS is suitable for installation in a Common Bonding Network (CBN), Isolated
Bonding Network (IBN) or both.
• For NEBS locations, the BTS is suitable for installation in networks
telecommunications facilities, locations where the NEC (National Electric Code)
applies, and OPS (Outside Plant) environments.
7.2 Mains power requirements

Mains power considerations and permitted operating voltages.
f WARNING! Warning
Danger of lethal voltages.
Make sure that the mains power breaker is off, and that the cabinet is properly earthed
(grounded), before connecting or removing any mains power supply cables from the
BTS cabinet.
At the site there must be a main switch for disconnecting the BTS mains power. The
disconnecting device should disconnect both input supply poles simultaneously.
Table 42 Permitted operating voltage
Property Nominal operating voltage Permitted operating voltage
DC voltage 48 VDC 40.5 to 57.0 VDC
AC voltage with 200 - 240 VAC 184 to 276 VAC (45 - 66 Hz)
optional FPMA
DC voltage with 24 VDC 18 to 32 VDC

optional DC Module
DC return connections can be isolated DC return (DC-I) or common DC return (DC-C).

Check the power consumption. If the power demand exceeds 30A and you use a 30A
source such as an integrated power distribution unit (PDU) or System Module Power
Output port with 30A output capability, then it is recommended to use the dual power
cable FPCA (472806A) with the PDU or System Module Power Output port.
See Cabling Flexi Multiradio BTS [technology] for instructions on how to connect the dual
power cable.
g Note: Note that there are some variations in input voltages between different RF
variants. For more information, see
Flexi Multiradio BTS RF Module and Remote Radio Head Description.

7.2.1 Circuit breakers

Guidelines for selecting circuit breakers and a table listing minimum recommended sizes.
General guidelines for circuit breakers are provided below. Recommended sizes are
provided in the table below.
• Medium delay type (B or C) is recommended to avoid tripping in rush current or

minor lightning surges.
• Circuit breaker interrupt rating is recommended for exceeding maximum short circuit
(breaking) capacity expected from the power source.
• Voltage rating for overvoltage protection device should also be considered.

7.2.2 Flexi Power Module (FPMA) battery backup times

Power load considerations and estimated battery backup times.
Flexi BTS uses 48 VDC power. In a BTS site with AC feed only, Flexi Power Module
(FPMA) is required to convert AC to DC. Flexi Power Module (FPMA) consists of
mechanics, AC terminal, and four slots for AC/DC sub-module (FPAA) or battery sub-
module (FPBB).
Two FPMAs can be installed in a stack to support FPAA and FPBB operating in parallel.
Table 44: Battery backup times shows the battery backup times depending on the
configuration and load scenario.

g Note: FPBB maximum charge and heating power is 100 W per battery.
The “per battery” charge power needs to be taken into account and subtracted from the
available rectifying capacity, thus reducing the power available for the BTS.
In redundant (n+1) configurations an extra FPAA provides rectifying redundancy and,
additionally, takes care of battery charging.

7.3.1 DC cable requirements for 3TX 240W RF Modules
Variant and output power-specific considerations for selecting a DC cable for a 80 W RF
Module.
84 DN0951839 Issue: 08D

A DC cable is not included in the 3TX 240W RF Module delivery. 48 VDC power can be
fed from a System Module or directly from an external power source.
If the cable path between the System Module/external power source and RF Module
exceeds 10 m, then a Flexi System External OVP (FSEC/FSES/FSEP) must be installed
next to the System Module or external power source. For details, see Creating Flexi
Multiradio BTS Site Configurations in respective system documentation.
If a 3TX 240W RF Module is used with FSMC/D/E (FPFB 30A PDU), FSMF (FPFD
A.102 30A PDU) or FPFC A.102 30A PDU then the rules in table DC Cable
Requirements for 3TX 240W RF Modules apply.
g Note: For the enhanced FPFD PDU version A.103/A.204 or FPFC A.203 with 45A/40A
capability a single DC cable is sufficient and a dual DC cable (FPCA) shall not be used.
With ESMB or ESMC, a single cable is sufficient for all 3TX 240W RF Modules as 36A
PDU is used.

Requirements if power is supplied from an external source

The following requirements apply if power is fed from an external power source:
• The allowed diameter of shielded or jacketed cables is 6-25 mm (0.24-1 in.).

• The allowed cross section of individual DC wires is 6-25 mm2 (10-4 AWG) at the DC
terminal. It is recommended that 25 mm2 (4 AWG) wires are capped to avoid loose
strands. If thicker DC wires are required, then an FSEC/FSES/FSEP or any other
IP65 DC distribution box is required to reduce the cable thickness at the module.
• Recommended DC cable lengths, thicknesses, and type are provided in Feederless
site and Distributed site solution requirements.
• The DC connector has three screw terminals. The outer terminals are for (+) and (-)
wires. The middle terminal is for grounding the shielded DC cable braid.
2) Total configured output power is the total power for all three branches. For example, a 2+2+2 @ 40 W is
equal to 240 W.
3) The following power cables are available: FPCA 472806A (Dual, 2 m, 6.6 ft), FPCB 472817A (Single, 2 m,
6.6 ft), FPCC 472823A (Single, 2 m, 6.6 ft), FPTA 472246A (Single, 4 m, 13.1 ft). The dual power cable
requires two available PWR outputs on the System Module or PDU (excluding PWR AUX). It is
recommended to use the next available connectors in sequence. The FPCC and FPTA require removing
