Description
The Topside Power Supply Unit is a component of the Outland Technology Power Supply (OTPS). It converts 100-240 VAC power to 400 VDC power for transmission through the tether. It’s designed with an emphasis on safety, including a LIM/GFI safety circuit. With a built-in Fathom-X tether interface board, laptop charging outlet, and a laptop shelf, it’s more than just a power supply!
The power supply is built into a rugged hardshell case that’s easy to transport. It’s designed to be operated with the lid open to provide airflow for cooling and to act as a topside control station for the ROV pilot. The middle section has a laptop shelf to operate from a single tabletop. Closest to the user is the most essential part of the power supply unit, the GFI safety test feature and the status screen. The ground fault interruptor (GFI) is also commonly known to ROV users as a line insulation monitor (LIM). It detects any current leakage on the high side or low side of the isolated power supplies. If an unsafe current leakage level is detected, it automatically shuts off the outputs. It’s designed to comply with the IMCA Code of Practice guidelines for the Safe Use of Electricity Under Water.
