150 Watt plug-in power supply unit with active PFC and N + 1 redundancy
Released 13 March 2002

The latest addition to Elektro-Automatik’s wide range of pluggable power supplies was announced this week.  The VP150 series sits above the established VP80 range of power factor corrected 3U modules.  Both series are available with single or triple outputs; voltage rails are 3.3V, 5V, 12V, 15V, 24V, +48V and 5 and +/-12-15V.  With increased power density and improved efficiency, the VP series is pin compatible and interchangeable with the industry standard VERO PK60 and PK120 units, facilitating simple upgrades to existing systems requiring conformance with European requirements for harmonic distortion through power factor correction.

The VP150 features full power sharing across multiple outputs and single output units are optionally available with N + 1 redundancy support for use in high availability systems.  All models have active Power Factor Correction on the universal 94 – 253VAC, 47 – 63Hz input.  The high density 3U x 12HP 160mm deep design only takes up three slot positions; all models conform to all relevant safety and environmental specifications, are CE Marked and UL listed.
