DC/DC combo is optimised for mobile
power
The D1000 modular power solution from Powerstax offers up to 1000W of DC power from vehicle or other mobile or static DC power sources.
Powerstax, the Farnborough UK based designer of application rich power solutions, developed the D1000 to meet growing market demands for military, industrial and commercial communications and control systems powered from vehicle batteries or telecomms supplies "The D1000 power conversion system is part of our market leading Flexistax series", says Tim Worley, CEO of Powerstax

External supply promises long reliable life
Low-noise multipurpose power supply is fitted with field replaceable fan and air exhaust filters making it ideal for harsh and industrial environments.
DC/DC convertor is made for LED lighting
Wide input range DC/DC convertor provides a constant-current single output for powering a single LED or an array of up to nine devices.
"It has been developed specifically for applications where standard off-the-shelf solutions do not exist".
"This field proven modular solution offers customers a faster time to market, reduced capital investment and minimises the risk often associated with custom designed power supply requirements".
D1000 power solutions are based on the industry leading high power F501 "full-brick" DC/DC convertors that form the core of Powerstax's business.
These patented, ultra-high-efficiency and very flexible convertors have been designed offer both conventional step-down conversion as well as the more unusual step-up conversion.
The key to this is the unique "integrated magnetics" which combines all of the transformers and inductors required by the convertor on to one core allowing custom voltage requirements to be provided with ease.
For the D1000 two F501 convertors are packaged with connectors as required by the application.
In addition, a custom developed boost-convertor is integrated into the design to provide input voltage boost when conditions require it.
Multiples of D1000 components may be run in N+1 redundant systems.
The D1000 operates from a very wide DC input of 11 to 36V and can be offered with outputs between 12 and 48V DC.
The system offers up to 85% efficiency, maximising battery life and reducing thermal management requirements.
The complete unit measures a compact 152 x 102 x 25mm.
Prototypes can be supplied in just 4 weeks from Powerstax's ISO9001 approved design, development and production facility in the UK and carry a two year warranty.
Typical applications include military and commercial mobile wireless and radar systems, telecomms infrastructure and security systems.
