Eltek Valere Debuts "Green" Version Of DC Power System

Eltek Valere announced the V- Series HE, a series of rectifiers that is said to offer more than 95% efficient power conversion. The V-Series HE debuts as Eltek Valere’s second product line to adopt high-efficiency technology.

The V-Series HE is a standalone, 48V ac-dc power rectifier and battery charger that provides up to 1,000W of power for telecom applications. It features a voltage input range of 90-264Vac and a power output of 20.8A. The rectifier is said to provide full digital control, with a simplified structure and more intelligent monitoring.

The V-Series HE is the second in a line of rectifiers from Eltek Valere, following the Flatpack2 HE, which was launched in Jan. 2008. According to the company, the Flatpack2 HE was the industry’s first dc rectifier offering 96% power conversion efficiency. Both rectifiers are said to reduce dc power conversion loss by as much as 50%, when compared with industry standard 92% systems.

"Eltek Valere’s V-Series HE and Flatpack2 HE are prime examples of our commitment to green technology," said Allen Pitts, Eltek Valere Vice President of Sales. "With these high-efficiency product lines, carriers can cut costs and power consumption, allowing for greater dedication to their own environmental initiatives."

The V-Series HE also features the BC controller for complete remote and onsite monitoring of the rectifier and other system elements. In addition, the rectifier includes a self-protective feature that allows for adjustment to output power depending on temperature and input voltages.

The V-Series HE Rectifier Module V1000A-HE will be available in February 2009. All V Series rectifiers have a CE mark, are UL recognized and are NEBS compliant.
