XP Power Announces Addition to Family of Modular, Configurable Power Supplies

November 29, 2006 by Jeff Shepard

XP Power announced the latest model in the fleXPower family of configurable power supplies. The fleXPower X10 brings an 11% increase in power using the same size chassis as earlier 900W models. An output power of up to 1,000W is available over the full input range of 85-264 Vac. At high line, 180-264 Vac, a single chassis can provide up to 1,200W. By utilizing the double deck feature of the fleXPower X10, where outputs are paralleled, up to 2,400W are available at high line.

In addition to the new 1,000W X10 chassis, XP have announced the release of their new dual output modules to expand the entire fleXPower series. There are a total of 18 dual-output voltage combinations. Available output voltages are 2, 3.3, 5, 12, 15 and 24V with outputs currents up to 10A. The fleXPower X10 provides multiple logic signals including global inhibit, AC OK, DC OK. A separate 5V standby output is provided to supply critical monitoring circuits.

The series has safety approvals making it suitable for commercial, industrial and medical applications. Commercial and industrial versions meet UL60950 and EN60950. Medical versions meet UL60601-1 and EN60601-1. All versions meet their respective levels for leakage current, isolation and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).

The fleXPower family of modular, configurable ac-dc power supplies has been designed to deliver class-leading power density on packages 25% smaller by volume than other products in the market. The increased output from the high line input of the fleXPower X10 brings the power density to 6.67W per cubic inch. Operating temperatures are -20 to +70°C with derating.

The efficiency of fleXPower units varies with each configuration but is typically 85% at full load. Over-voltage protection is fitted to all modules and operates between 115% and 130% of nominal. Units are fitted with over-temperature protection and all modules are overload and short circuit protected while line and load regulation are better than 0.1% and 1% respectively. Maximum ripple and noise are 50mV or 1% peak-to-peak at 20MHz bandwidth.

fleXPower X10 power supplies are available now and priced at $592.00 for a 1,000W unit in 100+ quantities.
