Covering Artesyn’s four configurable power supply families, the ConfigPro starts with a user entering the current or power requirements for up to 21 individual outputs, up to 500Vdc output and up to 970A. The online tool then generates a selection of configured options, which can be further refined and results in a solution that is optimised for cost. It can also recommend further cost-saving alternatives based on similar feature and power ratings. The user is provided with a graphical representation of the configured power supply and downloadable PDF summary of the configuration.
Artesyn’s ConfigPro tool is said to use a powerful solution algorithm that factors in complex variables including dual and triple output modules, and parallel and series solutions. The tool also includes a reverse part lookup to enable designers to quickly find information on parts if they have a configured part number.
