1200W rectifier for the network power systems from Power One

Power-One, Inc. has announced the availability of its new XPGe12.48 1200W rectifier for the Aspiro network power systems series. The XPGe12.48 designed to provide efficiency exceeding 95% across a wide load range.

To accompany the new rectifier, Power-One is also releasing the iPWER Aspiro Front Access platform, combining high efficiency with user-friendly front access in a compact 2U (19"/ETSI) format. The new Aspiro platform supports up to four XPGe units and 4.8kW of power output, while offering flexible DC distribution capability derived from its pluggable circuit breakers and system controller.

"The release of the iPWER XPGe12.48 not only complements our Network Power portfolio with high-efficiency rectifiers in the low-power range, but also paves the way for deploying hybrid solutions in low-power applications like pico cells and microwaves," Cemil Tolun, Vice President of Network Power Systems noted recently. "The new Aspiro platform is compatible with our Hybrid controller, which together with XPGe12 will deliver the optimum cyclic performance in unstable-grid and off-grid telecom sites."

The XPGe12.48 rectifier operates from a wide input operating voltage range, a 46 to 57 VDC output voltage range and 1200W of output power. This device is also fully-protected, including EN 61000-3-2 harmonics, EN 61000-4-5 surge immunity, plus EN 61000-6-2, EN 61000-6-3 and EN 61000-4 EMC safeguards.

The iPWER Aspiro Front Access platform provides Web-based management functionality and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) via its PowCom software. This platform is designed for rugged and reliable operation even when grid-level power quality is unstable.
