Hot-swappable modules offer up to 1400 W
Staff -- Test & Measurement World, 5/1/2004
The HPS35 line of power-supply modules come in 12- and 48-VDC versions; a 24-V output option will be available later this year. Individual HPS35 modules deliver 350 W of output power at 80% efficiency. A 19-in. rack can be configured with up to four of the 1U modules for a total of 1400 W of bulk DC power in less than 400 in.3 of rack space. Featuring full-current sharing capabilities and built-in OR-ing diodes for isolation, the HPS35 modules support hot-swapping and redundancy. They accept inputs from 90 to 264 VAC and feature active power-factor correction (typically better than 0.98).
