Power Supplies

TDK-Lambda Americas (San Diego, CA & Neptune, NJ) has launched a new line of 1600W front-end power supplies for use in distributed, hot-pluggable and redundant power systems. The HFE1600 series operate off a universal AC input of 85 to 265 VAC, with active PFC, and provides a well regulated DC output of 12V, 24V or 48V. Operating efficiencies of up to 92% are typical. With the 19-inch rackmount enclosure as many as five supplies can be paralleled with automatic load-sharing to provide up to 7600W of output power. The HFE1600 supplies, each measuring 1.61"H x 3.35"W x 11.8"L, can be used individually or as many as five can be mounted in a 1U-high 19-inch rack enclosure to form a paralleled connected, load-sharing, hot-swap, N + M redundant 7.6 kW power system.
