High-density 1500W power supplies

The D1U54P-W-1500-12 series of 1500W power supplies has been launched by Murata Power Solutions.

The D1U54 series is targeted for power architecture applications and is ideal for use with networking equipment, and server and storage systems.

Packaged in an industry standard 1U format measuring 54.5 x 40mm, it has a length of 12.66in, the same as the 1200W and 1300W power supplies in this family. Delivering a power density of more than 35W/in3, this compact power supply exceeds the 80 PLUS Platinum efficiency requirements.

Featuring a 12V DC main output, it also provides optional standby outputs of 12V DC, 5V DC, or 3.3V DC output. These hot-pluggable units are capable of N+1 redundancy and feature active current sharing (ORing FET) permitting connection of up to eight in parallel.

Control and monitoring features include an I2C compatible PMBus interface and front panel LED status indicators. Overvoltage, overcurrent, and over temperature protection is included. Forced air cooling is facilitated by a low noise, variable speed fan.

There are two variants in the series. The D1U54P-W-1500-12-HxxTC accepts inputs ranging from 90 to 264V AC. Meanwhile, a DC input model, D1U54-D-1500-12-HxxC, is available in the same size.
