Power-One, Inc., has made available its new i-PWER Low
Profile Modular (LPM) AC-DC power supply family.
These products offer up to 1500W of power in the form of
a six-slot chassis (LPM615 model) or up to 900W of power
in a four-slot chassis (LPM409 model). Additional features
include: a universal 85-264VAC input range with Power Factor
Correction (PFC), one to six fully-isolated outputs depending
on model, a low 1U height (1.6"/40mm) and zero-load
operation.
Power-One says the four available output modules can easily
be fitted into the four or six-slot chassis, providing customers
with their exact voltage and current requirements, thus
ensuring a custom solution without the development costs
and a rapid, reduced time to market.
Power-One claims the i-PWER LPM Series also features the
highest power density on the market today - at 17.6W/in3,
its typical power density is 20% higher than other modular
AC-DC power supplies. This class-leading power density,
with its low 1U height, means the LPM offers more power
in less space, so a customer's product can be smaller, lighter
and have less environmental impact.
"The LPM Series is the first of Power-One's new lineup
of industrial-focused power supplies, highlighting our ongoing
commitment to providing innovative, market-leading technologies
for the process control, military, medical, test and measurement
markets," Ed Carter, General Manager of Power-One's
Industrial and Transportation group noted recently. "With
a highly-flexible, rugged design and utilizing first-class
materials, the LPM delivers the class-leading power density,
increased cost savings and reduced time to market that equivalent
modular power supplies cannot match."
Each LPM output module is adjustable; offering continuous
output coverage in ranges from 2V to 51V (2-5V, 5-15V, 15-32V
and 15-51V respectively). Modules may be connected in series
or parallel for higher voltages or higher currents, while
the screw thread and terminal design of the LPM Series ensures
the fit-and forget nature of this reliable product.
The i-PWER LPM Series is ideal for applications in Industrial
and Scientific machines.
