TDK adds to HFE1600 range of front end power supplies

Suitable for use in broadcast applications, the HFE1600-32 operates from a universal 85 to 265Vac input, and has an efficiency rating of up to 92%. According to TDK, this minimises heat dissipation and power consumption, and means the module meets Climate Savers Computing efficiency standards. As with other models in the HFE1600 range, the HFE1600-32 ac/dc power supply can be used individually or up to five units can be mounted into a dedicated 1U rack delivering 8kW. To form a hot swap N+1 redundant power system, up to 10 units can be configured in parallel with single wire current sharing. TDK has also integrated a keying system to prevent misinsertion of modules into adjacent racks of differing voltage. Output voltage is programmable by resistance, external voltage or optional PM Bus compatible I²C communication interface. The HFE1600 hot swap front end power supplies comply with EN55022 and FCC Class A radiated and Class B conducted emissions and meet IEC61000-4 immunity. All models are safety approved to EN/IEC/UL 60950-1 edition 2 with CE mark and are backed by a three year warranty.
