Valere Debuts New Modular DC Power System

October 13, 2003 by Jeff Shepard

Valere Power Inc. (Richardson, TX), a maker of power systems for the wireless and broadband sections of the telecommunications industry, announced its new Modular DC Power System, its first ac/dc power system targeted at high-power central office and wireless telecommunications applications that need between 800A and 20,000A of power.

The Modular DC Power System can be configured to offer 800A in half of a telecom rack, enough to power an entire wireless base station in only 25% of the space normally allocated for power systems. In a full telecom rack, it is scalable from 3,200A, up to more than 20,000A in multiple rack systems, enough to power large central office equipment installations.

The system uses Valere’s new X-Series rectifier, which is based on the company’s patented, zero-voltage, switch-mode, ac/dc power-conversion technology. The X-Series rectifiers are 2RU-high units that support 48V, 24V or 12V output voltages, and range in current levels from 50A to 200A.

The Modular DC Power System is now available. The company will debut the Modular DC Power System, and demonstrate its complete product line in a series of customer events in key North American cities as well as Mexico City throughout October and November.
