High-efficiency telco rectifier cuts power losses in half

Device, 96% efficient, helps carriers cut costs and be green

An ac/dc power rectifier for telecommunications applications, the Flatpack2 HE module 48/2000 offers 96% typical power conversion efficiency, the highest in the industry. The unit cuts power loss in half and helps companies meet green environmental initiatives.

The product is a stand-alone 48-V rectifier and battery charger that provides up to 2 kW of power. The unit has an operating temperature range from -40° to 85°C, and is suitable for remote terminal locations. It can also be integrated into systems with an output of up to 100 kW for use in central offices. Specifications include a voltage input range of 85 to 300 Vac and a maximum output current of 41.7 A.

The unit makes use of breakthroughs in resonant topology and in digital control to dramatically boost efficiency above today's industry standards. The use of digital controls enables a reduction of component count by 40% and an increase in reliability. The product features a CAN bus interface to allow it to communicate with the company's Smartpack controller, which monitors the rectifier and other elements. ($450 available now.)
