Power Board with the museum main power on
The Power Board manages power used for museum switching equipment. It runs at 48V and usually supplies around 100-180 amps when equipment is running for Sunday tours. In addition to the 48V battery supply, the power board also contains a set of Lorain DC-DC converters which offer 24V, and +/- 130V power for various circuits in the museum. Above the power board is a wooden annunciator that contains lamps which illuminate when the various power systems are in alarm. (Full article...)
