Slim DIN Rail PSUs.

Stadium Power has introduced two new high efficiency, slim-line DIN rail mounted power supplies.

The highly-efficient 120W DIN-120 and 240W DIN-240 units provide a single output of either 24 or 48VDC and are aimed at industrial  applications, including  process control and building automation, where the space used by the power supply on the DIN rail needs to be minimised.  Their narrow width offers system integrators useful space savings with the DIN-120 and DIN-240 being just 32mm and 45mm wide respectively.

Both models have built in current sharing to support 1+1 or N+1 redundant system configuration, providing a simple path to upgrading OEM designs from a single to redundant power solution.

The units have a wide operating temperature range of -25C to +70C and a typical efficiency rating up to 91%. The resultant reduction in internal heat generation simplifies thermal management for the system builder.

The DIN-120 and DIN-240 power supplies are capable of providing a 150% peak load capacity ensuring systems are capable of handling load power surges safely.

Other key features include:

• Built-in active PFC with power factor >0.95
• Excellent Partial Load Efficiency
• Suitable for critical applications
• 3 years warranty

Other products available from Stadium Power include; LED power supplies and DALI drivers, commercial and MIL-STD EMC filters, plug-top and open frame medical power supplies for portable and system use, DC-DC converters, AC-DC power supplies from 5-1500W, battery chargers and EN54 Fire and Security power supplies offering the industry standard 13.8Vdc and 27.6Vdc outputs.

Prepare for mission critical!

Stadium Power has added the 60 watt AC input G1X2 and DG1X2 48V DC input models to their range of 1+1 redundant 1U industrial single output and ATX / EPS power supplies. These are optimized for secure bulk power applications including digital imaging, communication systems, industrial PCs and telecom or broadcast systems.

The power supplies have a long term track record of product reliability, safety and performance, reducing the risk of equipment failure and are designed to operate at maximum advertised load rating constantly.

Each redundant power supply (RPS) contains two 60W power supply modules that normally share the system load. Even in the rare instance of a module failing; the other will keep the system running at full load. The non-functioning module can be removed and replaced (hot swap) without removing the input voltage, ensuring uninterrupted operation 24/7.

Like other dual redundant hot swappable power supplies in the range; the G1X2 and DG1X2 provide a simple path to upgrading OEM design from a single to dual redundant power conversion. Key Features include a power good signal, over power protection, over voltage protection, short circuit protection with led, buzzer and TTL signal of any fault condition.

The DC outputs of the range can be 12VDC or meet Industrial PC Intel requirements.

Standard features of the Stadium Power G1X2 /DG1X2 series include 90～264VAC universal input voltage or 48VDC (39-72VDC range). Models include the G1X2-1060V with Universal AC input and +12Vdc Output, the  G1X2-5060V with Universal AC Input and +3.3VDC, +12DC, -12DC, +5VDC standby (ATX) Output, the DG1X2-1060V with 48Vdc Input and +12Vdc Output, and the DG1X2-5060V with 48Vdc Input and +3.3VDC, +12DC, -12DC, +5VDC standby (ATX) Output.

UL, CUL and TUV safety agency approvals and dimensions are to 190x106x39.5mm.

The G1X2 and DG1X2 are the latest additions to Stadium’s 150W to 3000W range of Industrial Grade Dual Redundant, N+1 and ATX power supplies from EMACS. Other formats in the range include 1U, 2U, 3U mini 1U single, 1U, 2U, 3U, Mini, Micro and N+1 redundant.

The power handling capability of the range is constant true wattage (not peak) and all models within the range have a standard 3 year warranty.

Products can be customised; including tailored output power looms and ruggedisation, single – non redundant models or DC input versions are also available.

Other products available from Stadium Power include; LED power supplies and DALI drivers, commercial and MIL-STD EMC filters, plug-top and open frame medical power supplies for portable and system use, DC-DC converters, AC-DC power supplies from 5W to 10kW, battery chargers and EN54 Fire and Security power supplies.
