ONE RACK SPACE HIGH 22.5 AMP
RECTIFIER
IS FIELD SWAPPABLE
Coral Springs, Florida- UNIPOWER
Telecom's new Magellan (RMX) Series rectifiers provide 22.5 amperes at 54.4 VDC
for charging 48V lead-acid batteries or for driving loads directly. The shelf
is only one rack space (1.72 inches) high and the rectifier is field
replaceable from the front, without the need for disconnecting from system
wiring. The rectifier 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 19" rack or can mount in a 23" rack using extender brackets.
Power density is 3.3 volt-amperes
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 rectifiers are ideally suited
for mini/micro sites and networking applications.
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 rectifier, 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 Magellan system can interface with available controllers from UNIPOWER
Telecom or operate on a stand-alone basis.
The Magellan Series
rectifiers are priced as low as $991 each for the rectifier and the mating
shelf. Additional spare rectifiers can be supplied separately from the shelves.
Delivery is stock to 6 weeks.
UNIPOWER Telecom is a division of
UNIPOWER Corporation, dedicated to telecommunications power systems and
service, with a complete line of rectifiers and shelves, controllers, AC and DC
distribution panels, low voltage disconnects, inverters, and battery-backed
power plants for access and transmission applications.
