Supplies optimised for industrial equipment
Minebea 19in power supplies are optimised for a wide range of applications, especially telecomms rectifiers and industrial equipment.
All ORing devices are integral with the power supply, and so only the minimum of logic functions need to be implemented on the system backplane.
Appropriate current sharing is employed to parallel the main output voltages.
Hot swap technology is implemented such that the AC power cord is removed for unit insertion or removal.
The Phoenix is optimised to allow quiet system operation using advanced fan control compliant with the standard PC98 interface.
E2PROM unit identification is also included for automated system inventory.
The modules offer a wide range input of 90-264V AC with wide-ranging active PFC, and are tested for ambient temperatures up to 50C.
