Delta Launches Two New Telecom Rectifiers

November 02, 2009 by Jeff Shepard

Delta Electronics announced the launch of two new next-generation telecom rectifiers: the DPR 2700C and the DPR 4000B, as well as its new EnergE label program. The DPR 2700C is a 2.7kW telecom rectifier that offers a 96% efficiency rate and a power density of 34 W/inch³ – said to be the highest on the market. The new DPR 4000B rectifier series with 4kW provides an efficiency rate of 95%, also said to be the highest on the market for its power range.

"The two new rectifiers offer great energy savings and cost savings for all power needs. As an example, when looking on an operator’s network with 1,000 sites at 10kW site load, the energy savings compared to rectifiers with traditional 90% efficiency, can easily sum up to several tens of Mega-Watt-hours (MWh) annually. In case of remote sites, where Diesel generators are often used, the savings in terms of USD and CO2 become even more." said Hans-Peter Glauser, Global Product Manager at Delta Energy Solutions Business Group. "The extended operating temperature range enables further energy savings by reducing the need for cooling."

"In launching the new series, we are also introducing the EnergE concept. Delta will attach the EnergE label to products with high energy efficiency," Glauser said. "Many rectifier series are included, but Delta has set strict criteria for individual products. All EnergE products have the world’s leading energy efficiency in their specific power range, and offer an efficiency of 95% or higher. We want to make sure that EnergE is a real promise of efficiency."
