Active Mapping Of Rectifier To Voltage Supply Phase, N/A May 2023

Active Mapping Of Rectifier To Voltage Supply Phase, N/A

Defensive Publications Series

This disclosure describes techniques to automatically map rectifiers deployed in data center racks to their corresponding AC phases. Per techniques of this disclosure, rectifier AC phase mappings are determined actively by periodically deactivating and activating a rectifier, and observing the effects on respective phases of a three-phase supply connected to the rack where the rectifier is deployed. The rectifier is cycled through periodic deactivation and activation. Current series data for each phase of the three-phase power supply are obtained. Frequency components of the frequency used for actuation of the rectifier are recovered by applying a bandpass filter to the current …

Passive Mapping Of Rectifier To Voltage Supply Phase, N/A

Defensive Publications Series

This disclosure describes techniques to automatically map rectifiers deployed in data center racks to their corresponding AC phases. Rectifier AC phase mappings are determined by correlating rectifier input AC voltage measurements with bus-level per-phase AC voltage measurements over time. Patterns in the voltage fluctuations are utilized to associate individual rectifiers with individual phases via statistical correlation of measured AC voltages at the rectifier level and bus level. Correlations between rectifier level and bus level voltages are performed for each phase of the power supply. The phase voltage series with the highest correlation to the rectifier voltage series is determined to …
