Grounding Specifications for Communications Power Supply
Table 14-30 shows the grounding specifications for communication power supplies.
Grounding in Battery Management Systems (BMS) is crucial for ensuring voltage and current measurement accuracy. Accurate voltage measurements depend on a stable ground reference. If the BMS ground is improperly connected or affected by noise, voltage readings can become distorted.
It turns out that there is a saying that there are a lot of negative charges in the air. According to the knowledge of electrochemistry, the positive grounding can absorb the negative ions in the air, thereby protecting the shell of telecommunications equipment from rust. In fact, this statement is not quite right.
The negative terminal should be connected first to establish the BMS ground reference. Consequently, all voltage measurements on the PCB are relative to this negative terminal. Scenario 2: A floating power supply ‒ In this case, the power supply's negative terminal is electrically isolated from earth ground.
Later, in order to be compatible with early equipment and reduce costs, the central office communication equipment still used -48V power supply. Likewise, with a negative power system, the positive ground is just a convention. It turns out that there is a saying that there are a lot of negative charges in the air.

For 48-volt sites, these typically operate with a positive-ground configuration, or occassionally with a negative-ground configuration. Positive-ground systems supply –48 volts (the positive line is grounded
Configuration Defined Telecom and wireless networks typically operate on 48 volt DC power. But unlike traditional 12 and 24 volt systems which have the minus (-) side of the battery connected to ground (i.e.
