'Off-the-peg' yet tailored power solutions
PowerCassette is a new configurable AC to DC power supply concept from Sussex and Florida-based manufacturer Unipower.
Modular six-output switcher now with DC input
Unipower's novel PowerCassette is now available as a DC-input power supply in addition to the previously introduced AC input version.
The new front ends are a family of three, single-output units giving 12V DC at 50A (600W), 24V DC at 29.2A (700W) or 48V DC at 16.7A (800W).
Designers of 12V-centric systems will be particularly interested in the power capability of the new 12V DC model.
Housed in a 40.6mm (less than 1U) x 127mm x 254mm enclosure, they provide a power density of up to 10W/in3 and are available in hot-swap or chassis-mount versions.
Each unit has self-contained cooling fans and a single, pluggable connector.
Other standard features of these PowerCassette supplies include an input range of from 85 to 264V AC, power factor correction and a 5V DC, 250mA standby output.
Standard monitoring features include enable/inhibit inputs, AC power fail and DC power good outputs, overtemperature warning and current monitor outputs.
Protection features include overload, overvoltage and overtemperature.
There are two ordering options for these new front ends.
The first is a front panel IEC input receptacle instead of the standard rear mount AC connection.
This option has its output derated by 20%.
The second option is an I2C serial databus which will allow the user to digitally monitor the operating parameters of the unit.
Also available are two 19in rack systems which come with a variety of options to further increase the flexibility of these new front ends. Request a free brochure from Unipower Europe ...
