Excelsys Technologies has introduced powerKit, a simple to use 1U modular power supply development kit. Part of the highly acclaimed Xgen series of multi-output, high power density power supply family, powerKit allows system design engineers to configure exactly the prototype power supply their application requires without lengthy design cycles and manufacturers prototype development or non-recurring engineering charges.

Each powerKit package contains an application specific powerPac chassis and 1U enclosure, seven powerMod DC output modules, an Xgen designer’s manual, parallel and series links for joining modules together, a voltage adjustment tool and even the correct sized posi-screwdriver for assembling the required modules. The output modules may be connected in series and parallel to further extend powerKit’s capabilities.

To configure the required prototype system, all the designer has to do is fit the required powerMod output modules to the powerPac chassis, adjust the output voltage, select the required type of current limiting and set point and connect up. When the ideal solution has been arrived at Excelsys will provide production units configured and fully tested to the end users own, pre-determined specifications.

Application specific powerKits are available for medical systems, hi-temperature installations, low acoustic noise environments as well as standard industrial applications. Models are available with output power of 600W, 900W and 1200 W and with slots for either four or six powerMod output modules. All configurations meet required international safety agency approvals.

Gary Duffy, Managing Director of Excelsys Technologies, comments. “Our powerKit power supply platform provides the ultimate plug and play power supply development kit for power systems designers. It completely does away with the traditional expensive and time consuming development of prototype power supplies and enables users to create a no-compromise power solution in minutes, which we will then be able to ship direct from our factory in production quantities.”

Standard powerKit features include, 1U format, up to 1200W output power at up to 90% efficiency, standard nominal output voltages from 1.5 to 58VDC, straight line or foldback current limit, output inhibit/enable control and local or remote adjustment.

Typical applications include, medical systems, industrial control and instrumentation, n+1 and redundant power systems, test and measurement equipment, telecomms and IT power.
