Integrated DC power system comes in 2U
case
The Gravitas X100-12 is a fully integrated DC power system combining high-power-density, hot-swap rectifier modules with a DC distribution section and a monitor and control section.
New from Unipower Telecom, the Gravitas X100-12 is a fully integrated DC power system consisting of one or two high-power-density, hot-swap rectifier modules combined with a DC distribution section and a monitor and control section The complete system comes in a 19in rack-mounted case that is only 2U-high (88mm) and 294mm deep

The new TMN Series power system front ends from Unipower provide up to 3,000 watts at 24, 28 or 48VDC for distributed power systems.
Non-stop swapping - the way to zero downtime
A guaranteed, reliable power supply has become absolutely essential for non-stop computing systems and 'mission critical' applications.
The unit can also be mounted in a 23in rack with available brackets.
Maximum system output is 100A at 13.6V DC for two modules; for a 1+1 redundant configuration it is 50A.
The DC distribution section can be configured with up to five load circuits protected by circuit breakers, GMT fuses or a combination of the two.
The circuit breakers are pluggable for easy changing or upgrading of the output circuits.
There are also two battery string breakers and an optional low-voltage disconnect.
Temperature compensated battery charging, including a temperature probe, is also available as an option.
The controller section controls and monitors the rectifier outputs and monitors the output load circuits.
It has LED visual alarms and Form C relay alarms for rectifier failure, fuse or breaker action, low-voltage battery disconnect, overvoltage and undervoltage.
There are front panel adjustments for float voltage and temperature compensation, and also test points to monitor load voltage and current.
All power connections to the system are at the rear to DIN-rail terminal blocks.
The Gravitas X100-12 is easily installed by a qualified technician and can be quickly made operable.
Systems can be configured and shipped in one week for small quantities. Request a free brochure from Unipower Europe ...
