Introduction
1.1 Scope of the Manual
This instruction manual covers the features and installation of Alpha Technologies DCP03 300A Distribution
Center.
NOTE: To aid the user with installation, frequent reference is made to drawings located at the rear of this manual.
1.2 Product Overview
The DCP03 300A Distribution Center is an integrated DC system distribution package designed for small to mid-
sized power applications.
The compact unit installs in three rack units of space. The design allows for front access to DC and signal
connections after installation.
All distribution wires are connected via two-hole termination lugs.
Up to 18 plug-in breakers can be installed at up to 100A per position. As an option, the system can be configured
with 4 battery breaker and 14 load breaker positions. Optional multiple pole breaker adapter kits are also
available.
Current shunts and low voltage disconnects (LVDs) can be installed as options.
The DCP03 also includes options for mounting CXCI and CXCM2 controller I/O terminal blocks behind the front
door of the distribution center. This allows for front access connections to controller I/O when using the
distribution center with Cordex 1.8kW rectifiers and integrated controllers.
In addition, the 4R/8D ADIO or 8R/8D 8DIO Cordex peripherals can be installed in the front door expanding the
I/O capabilities of the CXC system controller.
The DCP03 has rear bus bars for rectifier input for either cabling or bus bar connections for fast system
integration with Cordex 1.8kW rectifiers.
