Artesyn Technologies Launches AFE1200 Series of AC/DC Power Supplies
Artesyn Technologies (Boca Raton, FL) has launched a new family, the AFE1200 Series of 1,200W front-end ac/dc power supplies featuring a set of configuration and control facilities. Intended primarily for data processing, datacom and telecom applications that use distributed power architectures, the AFE1200 Series power supplies offer full current-sharing capabilities and support hot-swapping. A range of rack-mountable power shelves is available.
The AFE1200 Series power supplies are available with a choice of 48Vdc or 24Vdc outputs; the 48V model can deliver up to 25A, and the 24V model can deliver up to 50A. Both models also provide an auxiliary 12V/1A dc output. The auxiliary output is isolated from the main output, and both outputs are fully floating. The AFE1200 Series power supplies have an 85Vac to 264Vac universal input range and accommodate mains frequencies from 47Hz to 63Hz. The supplies incorporate power-factor correction, providing a minimum power factor of 0.99. They also comply with IEC1000-6, -3 and -2 for immunity to conducted and radiated emissions and electrostatic discharge, and meet CISPR 22 and FCC-CFR Class A standards for conducted and radiated noise.
Featuring built-in, fan-assisted cooling, the AFE1200 Series is housed in a package that measures 11.5" x 6.75" x 3.35" and is compatible with most standard rack-mount distributed power systems. Artesyn has also introduced two new power shelves. The AFS2400 and AFS4800 power shelves accommodate two and four AFE1200 Series power supplies respectively, and fit into 19" wide cabinets. The power shelves are equipped with circuit breakers, EMI line filters and interface cards.
Artesyn's AFE1200 Series power supplies are rated for operation in ambient temperatures from 0 degrees C to 50 degrees C. The power supplies carry a comprehensive set of international safety approvals, including EN60950 and UL1950, and are CE-marked in accordance with the Low-Voltage Directive.
