Power supply can be quickly customised with no NRE costs

Powerstax has announced a configurable power supply that can be built to meet exact custom requirements but without the lengthy lead times and non-recurring engineering (NRE) costs generally associated with a customised solution. Key market sectors include communications, test and measurement, medical systems and general industrial applications. The Powerstax A3600 is capable of providing up to 3600W of power, with multiple, isolated and configurable 1.5 to 58VDC outputs from a universal AC input. It is designed around industry leading power module technology and packaged in a 19-inch rack-mount 1U high unit. By using a standard enclosure format and the modular approach, prototype units can be supplied in a matter of days with production volumes delivered in just a few weeks. There are also no approval issues since the power modules used are fully approved for medical (EN60601) and industrial (EN60950) applications. According to Powerstax, the A3600 allows users to individually adjust, enable, parallel or even stack the outputs to provide an incredibly versatile power source. In addition, each output can be adjusted via a signal voltage. Other key features include high efficiency, zero load operation, CE marking and compliance with all relevant EMC/EMI standards. For ease of use, a closed rear panel with pre-installed cable glands can be requested, or left open to accommodate a cable assembly. Input is via a standard IEC320 style connector or cable assembly.
