HIGH-DENSITY, HOT-SWAP RECTIFIERS
PRODUCE UP 200 AMPERES
IN 2 RACK UNITS
Coral Springs, Florida- The
new Meridian RMP Series from UNIPOWER Telecom produces up to 200
amperes at 27.2VDC or 100 amperes at 54.4 VDC from a 23-inch shelf housing up
to four rectifier modules. The individual rectifier modules each produce 50
amps at 27.2 V or 25 amps at 54.4V with a power density of 6.4 watts per cubic
inch. The units are only two mounting positions high (3.5 inches).
The rectifier modules feature
automatic load sharing, input power factor correction and integral output ORing
diodes, which permit hot-swap module replacement. The output voltage can be
adjusted over a wide range of 45 to 58 volts or 22.5 to 29 volts, depending on
model. The adjustment is done by means of a front-panel mounted, multi-turn
potentiometer or an analog remote adjust input. The remote adjust input permits
automatic setting of float and equalize output voltages by means of an external
controller, also available from UNIPOWER Telecom.
Additional features include system
monitoring and control functions such as AC power good and DC power good logic
outputs, remote enable logic input, and remote sensing. There are also AC power
good and DC power good LED indicators on the front panel of each module. Input
voltage range is 170 to 264VAC. Each rectifier is cooled by a single 80mm
front-panel, ball bearing fan. The rectifiers meet UL, CSA and EN safety
standards and are CE marked.
The Meridian Series
rectifiers are priced as low as $582 each for the hot-swap power modules and
$455 for the companion 23-inch shelf. Delivery is 4 to 6 weeks ARO.
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.
