with efficiency levels as high as 92%

•  48VDC Output

• PMBus Communications

“These new modular power sources represent Unipower’s latest thinking on AC/DC products. They really do extend our leadership in hot-swap, high-density and efficient power sources “

Joe Merino - UNIPOWER

UNIPOWER Corporation announces its latest generation of high-density, hot swappable 48VDC modular rectifiers and front-ends. Called BLUEstreak™, the series combines high power density with high efficiency levels.  The Front–end version will be factory set at 48VDC while the Rectifier version will be set at 54.4VDC.

BLUEstreak™ units can provide up to 2000W from a 1U high package at power densities as high as 23.4W/in³. Input voltage range is between 85 to 264VAC . Efficiency levels to 92% at 75% load. Four units with a total output of up to 8000W can be housed in a highly flexible 1U system rack.

The modules feature automatic load sharing as well as an active Oring circuit using FETs. They have an operating temperature range of –20 to +70ºC managed by variable speed cooling fans.  LEDs indicate AC and DC power good and two standby outputs are available, +5V @ 1.8A and +12V @ .8A.

Like other UNIPOWER rectifiers,  BLUEstreak™ modules use the I²C based PMBus to pass status and control data between a host system, management unit, and the module.

BLUEstreak rectifiers and front-ends will find wide application in network equipment and data storage as well as in telecom battery systems and will be available from end of Q2. The Series will include additional output voltages and various power levels in the near future.

All UNIPOWER Corporation power systems meet the requirements of all relevant safety standards including UL60950-1, CSA22.2 No. 60950-1 and EN60950-1 and are RoHS compliant.  Product is currently available from UNIPOWER Corporation’s factories located in the U.K. and the U.S.
