Marconi Introduces Next Generation Lorain(R) LPS Power System
Featuring Integrated Power, Distribution, Control and Monitoring in
a Unique System Configuration ATLANTA AND CLEVELAND, March 22
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Marconi Corporation plc (LONDON: MONI)
today announced its next generation Lorain(R) Power System (LPS)
that efficiently combines power distribution, control and
monitoring requirements into an expandable, single- frame design,
to enhance deployment, increase capacity and reduce floor space
consumption by as much as 40% over conventional DC Power Plant
architectures. The LPS is being showcased this week at Marconi's
booth (#4721) at the CTIA Wireless 2004 Show in Atlanta. Developed
with a small footprint to optimize deployment in space-limited
switch sites and cell sites, this unique Lorain Power platform
offers a revolutionary answer to integrated DC powering
requirements for wireless and wireline networks. Plug-and-play
power unit versatility is enhanced by the fact that only one person
is required to lift any component of the system, including
rectifiers. Like other Marconi power products, the system is NEBS
Level 3 compliant and compatible with TCP/IP, SNMP, Ethernet, modem
and RS232 protocols. With a nearly 70-year heritage of power
solutions, Marconi experts developed an innovative system approach
to DC network power that optimizes cabling, rectifier design, heat
dissipation, and ease of expansion, with enhanced safety
considerations, improved energy efficiency and cost effectiveness
not yet seen in the industry. The basic LPS plant operates with 200
amp Power Conversion Units (PCUs) powered from 480 VAC. Each bay
provides power conversion and distribution -- up to ten PCUs (2,000
amps total) along with 2,400 amps of distribution. Adding
additional bays creates larger plants that scale to 10,000 amps in
total. "The LPS represents the culmination of smart engineering and
dedicated investment, blended with detailed customer inputs," said
Dave Smith, executive vice president of Marconi's Outside Plant,
Power & Services business. "It reflects a mix of intuitive
design and application know-how that has made the Lorain brand name
the power industry leader. We believe it establishes a new
benchmark against which other power products will now be judged."
Marconi's LPS offering simplifies power engineering requirements,
reduces the complexity of system configuration and further
optimizes actual deployment. An integrated DC bus eliminates costly
overhead busses and eases plant expansion. In addition, all bus
work is internal to the unit and all connections are external,
making for less cable to run, while enhancing safety by eliminating
the need for technicians to physically enter the cabinet to make
connections. The economic advantage of easier installation, fewer
total components, less cable to wire and quicker wiring of
connections allows Marconi to reduce the installed cost per amp to
approximately 5% less than other current designs. Built-in,
leading-edge power system monitoring functionality, through the
fully-integrated LMS1000 remote power monitoring system, and added
LPS rectifier intelligence allow network providers to better
understand power performance in real time. They can also adapt
system parameters for faster response to minimize downtime and
maximize overall system flexibility, while tracking, storing and
reporting the complete details of the power system, including
battery performance. This capability enhances regular maintenance
programs, helps track key performance parameters and ensures the
smooth, consistent delivery of power. Modular, patented
distribution design includes built-in automatic monitoring for all
distribution devices. About Marconi Corporation plc
