American Power Conversion (APC, West Kingston, RI) introduced its complete line of TSP (Total Solution Power) outdoor power systems, which are deployed in coaxial cable television, hybrid fiber/coax broadband, and other multi-service broadband networks.
The new products offer a modular design that incorporates a transformer module and an electronics module allowing for easier installation and serviceability. Upward migration from a non-standby to a full-featured, standby uninterruptible power supply is easily achieved with the addition of an electronics module and batteries.
The unit can be deployed in 120Vac, 60Hz; 240Vac, 60Hz; or 230Vac, 50Hz applications. The TSP modules can be shelf-mounted into any of APC's universal enclosures, or adapted for non-APC enclosures. With state-of-the-art battery charging and a built-in microprocessor, it constantly monitors battery requirements and provides adequate recharge current. The electronics module is insulated from damaging heat as it is designed for 158 degrees F (70 degrees C) continuous-duty operation and does not require a cooling fan.
