Dual-output power supply rack for hot-swappable power architectures introduced by TDK Lambda

SAN DIEGO, 9 Dec. 2013. TDK Lambda Americas Corp. in San Diego is introducing the HFE1600D1U dual-output power supply rack for hot-swap power architectures in distributed power architectures, wireless base stations, RF power amplifiers, storage systems, and industrial automation.

The HFE1600D1U racks for power electronics enable the user to install power supplies with different output voltages on either side of the rack's split power bus.

Measuring 1U in height, this design has half of the rack delivering 3,040 and 6,080 Watts. For higher power architectures as many as two power racks contain as many as eight HFE1600 series power supplies that can be zero-stacked, requiring no space required between racks.

TDK-Lambda's HFE1600 series of power supplies are available in standard output voltages of 12, 32, 24, and 48 volts DC. The outputs are user adjustable to suit custom requirements.

Each HFE1600 supply has two variable-speed cooling fans and can operate in temperatures ranging from --10 to 70 degrees Celsius. TDK-Lambda also has integrated a keying system to ensure that the correct HFE1600 is inserted where several voltages are used within a system.

The output voltage is programmable by resistance, external voltage, or by an optional PMBus compatible I2C communication interface. The user has the choice of purchasing a rack with screw terminal inputs or IEC-320-C16 connections.

All HFE1600 series hot-swap front-end power supplies comply with EN55022 and FCC Class A radiated and Class B conducted emissions, and meet IEC61000-4 immunity. Each model is safety-approved to EN/IEC/UL 60950-1 edition 2 with CE mark.
