Flat transformers boost convertor power density
Broadband TelCom Power (BTCPower) has used patented flat transformer technology to redefine performance of the industry-standard quarter-brick (58 x 37 x 11mm) DC/DC convertor.
The RPS2400 shelf is an industry standard 1U high rack mount chassis that accepts up to three RPM800 power modules, giving a maximum power capacity of 2100W of 48V DC regulated power.
Each RPM800 has its own AC input power cord while the common output power is brought into a single 48V output bus by the RPS2400 for easy system wiring.
A signal connector provides over temperature warning and power system status.
Multiple RPS2400 shelves can be interconnected to achieve even higher power capability.
For example, two RPS2400 shelves, with a total of six RPM800 modules can be used to form an N+1 array capable of providing 3.5kW with a 700W redundant module, ready in the even of any single module failure.
Each module has hot-swap and active load sharing capability.
The RPS2400 conforms to EN61000 (Power Factor), EN55022 class A (conducted) and is UL, CSA, TUV and CE certified.
