Acopian, Inc. launched its expanded Online Custom Power Supply System Builder. The Online Custom Power Supply System Builder is developed to assist design engineers meet the market’s demand for fast delivery of customized multiple output power systems at off-the-shelf prices. Through a series of intuitive steps, engineers are able to custom design dc-dc and ac-dc power supplies, high-voltage dc-dc and ac-dc power supplies, redundant systems and unregulated power supplies.

The custom-designed units are notably available in voltages ranging from 0V-30kV, with 1 to 30 outputs, and with 0.025W to 2400W of output power. Moreover, they are offered in every physical configuration, comprising rack mount from 1U to 7U, wall mount, bench-top, modular, DIN rail, NEMA 4X enclosed, UL508, and in an unlimited array of custom designs. Modules and systems are shipped fully wired and 100% tested within 3-9 days after receipt of order, depending on complexity of requirements.

Provided standard with an input power switch, the robust, feature-packed units are the perfect solution to design challenges in which shortening development time and competitive pricing are factors. Acopian’s multiple output power systems are employed worldwide in high-, medium- and low-power consumer, industrial, telecom, and medical applications. They are most commonly utilized in electronic equipment, manufacturing, machinery, process control, factory automation, astrophysics, aerospace, power and energy, nuclear, industrial controls, chemical processing, monitoring systems, audio systems, scientific research, amusement, and wastewater treatment facilities (WWTF) applications.

The Online Custom Power Supply System Builder prompts users to indicate the number of outputs (1-30), voltage (0V-30kV) and current (0.025W-2400W) specifications for each output and type of supply (switching, linear, unregulated), and to select such common options as over-voltage protection, remote sensing, and enclosure type. Users are further asked to specify input voltage, and are given the option to select controls for sophisticated sequencing as well as built-in active ORing control function for N+1 redundant applications.

Input connectors (IEC, screw, terminal strip) and output connectors (circular and euro-style), digital or analog voltmeter or ammeter, Amp-hour meter and Variac variable transformers are also selectable. Digital interfaces, along with RS232, RS485, USB and GPIB are offered. Acopian’s Online Custom Power Supply System Builder further provides choices of colored LED output indicators, screwdriver or knob output adjustment, and test-point styles.

Units are supplied with a distinctive model number and in a variety of front panel color options (grey, black, stainless, gold, etc.). They may be ordered with custom engraved or label marking and with a choice of environmental coating. Private labeling is additionally available.
