Digitally-Programmable Power Supplies and Chargers

After dedicating about a year into the development, integrating the market demands for the "enclosed type" and "rack mountable" power supplies and chargers, Mean Well has unveiled four new products, theRxP-1600 family of 1600W single output programmable power supplies and chargers, and a new rack shelf. The new family includes the RSP-1600 Programmable Enclosed Type Power Supply, the RCP-1600 Programmable Rack Mountable Front End Rectifier; the RPB-1600 Intelligent Battery Charger, the RCB-1600 Rack Mountable Front End Battery Charger, and the RHP-1U 1U-high 19" rack shelf (useable with RCP-1600 or RCB-1600).

These four new 1600W power supply and charger series operate over the full range single-phase input of 90- to 264-Vac. The family includes various models ranging between 12Vdc and 48Vdc. In addition to the output programmable function, each standard series is equipped with PMBus (exception: optional spec for RSP-1600) and the CANBus, enabling RSP/RCP-1600 series perform the higher level signal monitor or output read/write function, or permitting the users to flexibly setting up and adjusting the charging curves for RPB/RCB-1600.

With a power density of 25W/inch3 and efficiency up to 93.5%, the main body of the RxP-1600 family is 1U by height and 85mm by width, making them able to meet the requirements for controllability of high-wattage power supplies and the trend of miniaturization of power supplies and chargers.

RSP-1600 and RCP-1600, as well as RPB-1600 and RCB-1600, utilize the same basic circuit design; users can acquire as high as 24,000W output according to application environment and the built-in current sharing function. Each model from the RxP-1600 family has the major safety certificates in the world, such as UL, CUL, TUV and CE; moreover, 5-year warranty is offered so as to present the best guarantee for safety and reliability.

The new Mean Well programmable power supply and charger series fits a variety of applications (for example, aging facility, semiconductor testing instruments), providing the power solution with high stability and high cost-performance ratio for the diversified systems needing output voltage or current adjustable, allowing uses to easily change the output voltage or constant current level by applying external voltage or resistance.
