SMPS (Switch Mode Power Supply) is used to provide -48V DC power for equipment that requires DC voltage, as UPS only provides AC voltage. SMPS converts the AC supply to DC through rectification and switching technology. It has advantages like high efficiency over 94%, modularity, and easy maintenance. Key components of SMPS include lightening protection, switch mode rectifiers to convert AC to DC, a control unit to monitor parameters, and an interface to connect to external signals and batteries. SMPS is used redundantly in pairs to power critical telecom equipment in DMRC requiring -48V DC supply through distribution boxes.
