Growth in IBA and automotive applications is driving up demand for the F351, industry standard Full Brick, 350W DC/DC convertor from Powerstax
Rack-mount AC-DC system has a wealth of features
Advanced Power Conversion is introducing the APC-16PD, a low-profile 19inch rack-mount AC-DC power system that provides an exceptionally compact, feature-rich solution supporting battery back-up.
This industry leading design offers a variety of controlled bulk DC outputs at 24, 28, 48, 54.5 and 56.2V DC from a wide range AC universal input with active power factor correction circuitry to ensure it meets IEC1000-3-2 PFC requirements.
This makes the APC-3000 an ideal choice for many different applications including telecomms, industrial, control and distributed power architectures - with or without battery backup.
A significant feature of the APC-3000 is the use of up to three off-the-shelf hot-swap modules coupled with a corresponding 19in rack system to provide a flexible and scalable solution offering from 750 up to 3000W of total power or N+1 redundancy of 2kW.
The ultra low profile 1U (43.5mm) power shelves can also be stacked to provide an amazing 12kW of total power in a space saving 4U high area.
With typical efficiency of up to 88%, the versatility of the APC-3000 is enhanced further with active load sharing, redundant parallel operation and 400Hz input availability.
Front panel LED indicators are part of a full complement of protection, alarm and control features including remote on/off, remote sense and over temperature warning and protection.
An optional I2C connection provides data on voltage, current, temperature and power supply ID.
The APC-3000 provides a cost-effective and compact source of bulk AC/DC power for distributed power architectures using the APC range of high power, high efficiency DC/DC convertors.
UL/CSA, TUV and CE approved, the APC-3000 has high product quality and reliability with an MTBF of 400kh.
