Supplies front up distributed
architectures
A new range of high-power-density 3kW bulk power front ends provides a solid foundation for providing total distributed power architecture solutions.
Advanced Power Conversion describes its APC-3000 series as a new era for bulk power front end solutions, delivering up to 3000W in a ultra-low-profile 1U 19in rack modular system that sets new standards in high-power-density AC/DC power supplies 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.
