UNIPOWER Intros Gravitas IX12.5-115 System

March 24, 2003 by Jeff Shepard

UNIPOWER Telecom (Coral Springs, FL), a division of UNIPOWER Corp., announced its new Gravitas IX12.5-115, which is a compact, fully integrated, sine wave inverter system designed to power a variety of ac systems in a telecom environment. The inverter system consists of up to five hot-swap, 2.5kVA inverter modules in a 5U (8.5 in) high, 23in shelf, including an ac distribution section with up to six ac load breakers.

Each inverter module produces 2,500VA; the shelf, fully loaded with five inverter modules, produces 12.5kVA at 115Vac, 60Hz. The system can also be operated as a hot-swap, 4+1 redundant system with an output of 10kVA. The inverter modules operate from a nominal 48Vdc input with a wide range of 42Vdc to 56Vdc, and each module produces 115Vac at 22A(rms) at full load. The output is a low-distortion, 60Hz sine wave. Each module is protected by its own input and output circuit breakers; is self-cooled by two fans; and has input, output and sync OK LEDs.

The inverter modules and shelf must be ordered separately. The hot-swap inverter modules are priced as low as $2,015 each, and the 23in shelf is priced at $1,140, including six breakers, both in large quantities. Delivery time is four weeks ARO.
