1 U HIGH 1200 WATT FRONT-END
IS FIELD SWAPPABLE
Coral Springs, Florida- UNIPOWER's
new Magellan (RMX) Series front-ends provide 25 amperes at 48 VDC, or 1200
Watts, for driving distributed power loads. The supply in a rack mount is only
1U (1.72 inches) high and is field replaceable from the front, without the need
for disconnecting from system wiring. The output voltage can be adjusted over a
wide 44 to 58V range by means of a front-panel potentiometer or a remote analog
control voltage. The system mounts in a standard 19" rack.
Power density is 3.3 watts per
cubic inch and efficiency is 86%. The unit has an AC input voltage range of 85
to 265 V with input power factor correction to 0.99, giving less than 5% total
input current harmonic distortion. Total regulation (line and load) is 1.0%.
The input has a Class B EMI filter. These front-ends are ideally suited for a
variety of distributed power systems where rack space is at a premium.
Other features of the Magellan
Series include green LED indicators for AC and DC power good, overvoltage
protection on outputs, overtemperature protection, remote sensing, single-wire
active load sharing capability with another RMX unit, and current-limiting
overload and short circuit protection.
Interface control and monitoring
signals include AC power good, DC power good, remote output adjust and enable.
The system is painted gray and is supplied with all rack mounting hardware.
The Magellan Series
front-ends are priced as low as $965 each for the power module and the mating
rack. Additional spare front-end modules can be supplied separately from the racks.
Delivery is stock to 6 weeks.
