UNIPOWER Announces Ultra-Compact 200A DC Power System
UNIPOWER LLC announced the Gravitas X200 integrated DC Power System designed for telecom systems and many other applications that require 12, 24 or 48Vdc. Gravitas X200 is an ultra-compact system based on a 2RU shelf which is expandable to 3RU to provide output loads to 200A. Standard output voltages are -54.4, +27.2 and +13.6Vdc.
Gravitas X200 Power Systems incorporate up to four high efficiency (92%) hot-swap rectifiers in 2RU systems and up to eight rectifiers in the expanded 3RU systems. Loads of up to 200A are available in either non-redundant or N+1 redundant configurations. Internal speed controlled fans are used to cool the rectifiers and, as they respond to load as well as temperature conditions, acoustic noise is kept to a minimum.
The system’s dc output circuits can provide as many as 10 loads which utilise pluggable circuit breakers each rated up to 60A as well as two additional pluggable 100A breakers which can be used for either load circuits or battery protection circuits. Battery protection rating can be increased to 125A each with non-pluggable breakers. As an option, two internal string breakers can be provided as can low voltage battery disconnect. Where battery protection is provided externally, an unprotected battery feed output is provided as standard.
A field replaceable remote access controller monitors system parameters, controls rectifier output and provides alarms for system failures. LEDs are used to indicate major and minor failures as well as system good while four form-C relay outputs provide the alarms for remote use.
Gravitas X200 systems can be programmed using a remote PC webpage display and communication is by Ethernet LAN with an SNMP option. It also has provision for temperature compensated charging of an external battery using a supplied TC probe. An LCD touchpad is provided as an option for local metering, status and set-up.

Energy Efficiency with Class D Amplifier Modules
Class-D switching amplifiers are helping audio designers create personal multimedia devices and home audio/visual systems that demonstrate how compact and stylish equipment can also deliver high sound quality and high audio output power. The key to this breakthrough, providing freedom from the large and bulky boxes housing traditional audio products, lies in the class-D amplifier’s high energy efficiency, which is typically around 90%. This allows designers to reduce or eliminate heatsinks as well as using smaller-sized PCBs and smaller components such as transformers, connectors and power supplies.

The Role of Hall Effect Sensors in Power Distribution Infrastructure
Power distribution units (PDUs) form an essential part of modern computing and data communications hardware. They provide multiple outputs for transferring electrical power with maximum efficiency, controlling the power capacity and safeguarding against the possible causes of supply interruption. With an ever increasing need from tech savvy consumers for higher data throughput and greater quantities of data storage capacity, as well as tough international legislation now governing CO&sub2; emissions, the demands being placed on these units are proving challenging for engineering teams to satisfy.
