Unipower Launches the TMP Series of Power Systems

February 27, 2001 by Jeff Shepard

Unipower Corp. (Coral Springs, FL) launched its new TMP Series of front-end power systems providing up to 3,600W output at 24Vdc, 28Vdc or 48Vdc for distributed power systems. The front end consists of three hot-swap, 1,200W modules in a 2U high, 19-inch rack mount. The system can be operated as either a 3,600W non-redundant system or a 2,400W, N+1 redundant unit. The series has 6.6W per cubic-inch power density and, the company claims, an 85 percent efficiency.

Important operating features of the TMP Series include an integral output Oring diode in each power module, input power factor correction, Class B EMI input filter, single-wire active current-sharing between power modules and a ±10 percent output voltage adjustment range from the front panel. Among other features are ac and dc power-good LEDs, overload and short-circuit protection, zero minimum load and remote sensing. Control and monitoring functions include ac and dc power-good logic, remote enable input and remote adjust (analog) input. Each module is self-cooled by an internal ball-bearing fan.

The TMP Series in OEM quantities are priced as low as $516 each for the hot-swap power modules and $435 for the 2U system rack. Delivery is in 4 to 6 weeks ARO.
