UNIPOWER Corp. (Coral Springs, FL) announced its new UL listed rack, which is 2U high and holds three Vanguard TVN Series 1,000W, hot-swap power modules. The system produces 3,000W at 24Vdc or 48Vdc in a non-redundant mode; it produces 2,000W in a 2+1 redundant mode. The new rack is UL listed in both the US and Canada.
The 19in wide rack is completely enclosed. It has three IEC 320 ac inputs, one for each power module. The module outputs are paralleled in the rack with their current-share terminals connected together. Three switches on the front panel control the three module outputs. There is also a locking bar to hold the modules in place. The rear panel has two D-type connectors for the dc output and for control and monitoring functions, which include module present, dc power good and ac power fail for each module. There are also remote-sense terminals and a current-share terminal for paralleling two or more racks.
The new Vanguard UL listed power racks are available from stock in small quantities. Pricing is $570 in OEM quantities. The Vanguard hot-swap power modules are priced individually at $600 in OEM quantities.
