UNIPOWER’s new Rectifiers and Front-Ends combine power densities of 23.4W/in³ with 92% efficiency levels

BLUEstreak units can provide up to 2000W from a 1U high package at power densities as high as 23.4W/in³. Input voltage range is between 85 to 264VAC . Efficiency levels to 92% at 75% load. Four units with a total output of up to 8000W can be housed in a highly flexible 1U system rack.

The modules feature automatic load sharing as well as an active ORing circuit using FETs. They have an operating temperature range of –20 to +70ºC managed by variable speed cooling fans. LEDs indicate AC and DC power good and two standby outputs are available, +5V @ 1.8A and +12V @ .8A.

Like other UNIPOWER rectifiers, BLUEstreak modules use the I²C based PMBus to pass status and control data between a host system, management unit, and the module.

BLUEstreak rectifiers and front-ends will find wide application in network equipment and data storage as well as in telecom battery systems and will be available from end of Q2. The Series will include additional output voltages and various power levels in the near future.

All UNIPOWER Corporation power systems meet the requirements of all relevant safety standards including UL60950-1, CSA22.2 No. 60950-1 and EN60950-1 and are RoHS compliant. Product is currently available from UNIPOWER Corporation’s factories located in the U.K. and the U.S.
