Digital 1500W 1U Front-End Power Supplies

July 06, 2016 by Jeff Shepard

Murata has announced the D1U54P-W-1500-12 series of 1500-Watt power supplies manufactured by Murata Power Solutions. Packaged in an industry-standard 1U format measuring 54.5 x 40 mm (2.15 x 1.57 inches), it has a length of 12.66 inches, the same as the 1200W and 1300W power supplies in this family. Delivering a power density of more than 35 Watts per cubic inch, this compact power supply exceeds the 80 PLUS Platinum efficiency requirements. Featuring a 12Vdc main output, it also provides optional standby outputs of 12Vdc, 5Vdc, or 3.3Vdc.

These hot-pluggable units are capable of N+1 redundancy and feature active current sharing (ORing FET) permitting connection of up to eight in parallel. Control and monitoring features include an I2C compatible PMBusâ„¢ interface and front panel LED status indicators. Overvoltage, overcurrent, and over temperature protection is included across the range.

Forced air cooling is facilitated by a low noise, variable speed fan; the direction of air flow, front to back or back to front, can be specified at the time of order. The D1U54P-W-1500-12-HxxTC is an ac-input unit accommodating the full universal input range from 90- to 264-Vac. A dc-input model, D1U54-D-1500-12-HxxC, is also available in the same size.

The D1U54P series is targeted for distributed power architecture applications and is suited for use with networking equipment and server and storage systems.
