UNIPOWER Intros 1,600W Front-End Power System
UNIPOWER Corp. (Coral Springs, FL) announced its new 1,600W, hot-swap, front-end, power system, which features full frontal access to all input and output connections in a slim, 1U high (1.72in), 19in rack. The power system is designed for use in telecom systems, network equipment and other applications that use a 48Vdc or 24Vdc power bus.
The front panel has two IEC60320 ac receptacles for a fast line-cord connection; Anderson-type, dc-output connectors; and a 25-pin, subminiature D connector for control signals. The connectors provide quick connection and disconnection of the power system. Separate ac line-cord inputs for each power module allows for A/B inputs adding to overall system reliability. The system is only 11.56in deep for use in ETSI cabinets with a maximum depth of 12in.
The power rack holds two hot-swap, paralleled-connected, power modules that produce 24Vdc at 58.3A (1,400W) or 48Vdc at 33.3A (1,600W) in the non-redundant mode. Operating in the 1+1 redundant mode, the system produces 24Vdc at 29.2A (700W) or 48Vdc at 16.7A (800W). Other features include a universal input-voltage range of 85Vac to 264Vac; input power-factor correction; remote sensing; a +5Vdc, 250mA standby output; and integral LED status indicators. The system meets the Class B conducted EMI standard. Monitoring and control signals include ac power-fail, dc power-good, over-temperature warning, current monitor, current share and module present.
The complete 1,600W, front-end system consists of a rack with two power modules priced separately. The rack is priced at $340 each and the power modules are priced at $390 each in OEM volumes. Delivery is stock to four weeks.
