The Fault Managed Power System (FMPS) is a novel power delivery system that allows System Integrators to safely provide significant power over long distances to remote equipment. The Panduit FMPS is a Class 4 power system that complies with UL 1400-1 Standard for a safer, more reliable, and easy-to-install power delivery system that provides substantial time and cost savings. The FMPS uses Pulse Current as its power delivery method. The Transmitter converts standard AC power into high voltage DC power, which is further converted into a Pulse Current waveform delivered over a Class 4 multi-conductor copper cable to the Receiver. The Receiver converts the pulse current waveform into +/- 48 VDC power, which can power multiple end devices. With the ability to monitor faults, the system can safely use higher voltage to deliver power compared to low-voltage systems (Class 2). This allows the FMPS system to have all the safety benefits of low-voltage installations while delivering significantly more power over longer distances than Class 2 systems.
