Power-One Adds Next-Generation 1,600W AC-DC Product Line

December 13, 2012 by Jeff Shepard

Power-One, Inc. announced the release of the next generation LPM616 family of products. The LPM616 Series is a modular 1600 Watt AC-DC power supply that provides a market-leading power density of 18 Watts per cubic inch and has an extra low 1U profile. The LPM616 offers the flexibility of a modular architecture and the combination of high efficiency and high power density, in a rugged and reliablepackage. This new product line builds upon the exiting LPM615 family.

These products are designed for use in Industrial, Test Equipment, Datacom and COTS military applications where quick prototyping and a unique set of voltage and current requirements are needed. The supply's six slots can be configured with PCB-based output modules to deliver up to six outputs. The LPM output modules operate in any chassis position and can provide up to 1600 watts total power from a 150 VAC input and 1300 Watts from a 100 VAC input. Forced-air cooling with airflow direction from front to back is provided by internal fans.

For LPM616 supplies using less than the six-slot capability, blanking plates are installed for safety purposes and to optimize airflow within the chassis. The supplies are pre-set with default output module settings or with the customer's desired output settings prior to delivery.
