Why do telecom cabinets use -48VDC voltage and
Grounding the positive terminal protects equipment from moisture and electrolysis, extending its lifespan. These practices remain
The ancillary equipment (charging units, etc) would be grounded. Grounding of DC battery system enhances safety really because, if ungrounded, any short of power conductor to battery system would not be cleared by OCPD and personnel doing routine maintenance on the batteries are liable to be shocked or to suffer worse than that.
For a standard substation DC battery rack, I am having trouble determining whether a ground is required to be installed along with the wires between the battery disconnect switch and the battery rack. It's 125VDC. My usual approach is to include a ground until I can prove that a ground is not useful or is detrimental to the system.
Grounding in Battery Management Systems (BMS) is crucial for ensuring voltage and current measurement accuracy. Accurate voltage measurements depend on a stable ground reference. If the BMS ground is improperly connected or affected by noise, voltage readings can become distorted.
The network provider can then directly connect the external bar to the external site grounding system and connect grounding elements, e.g., cable shields from a nearby tower, to the ground system outside the enclosure. This will help divert transient energy away from communications equipment inside the enclosure.
