When one thinks of DC/DC converters, the first thing that comes to mind is the "brick converters" popular in many applications for Distributed Power Architectures in systems. However, there is a different kind of DC/DC converter that is essential in larger systems that have been designed to operate on one given DC voltage and then find themselves installed in systems where that voltage is not available and therefore needs to be converted. These DC to DC converters are the subject of this post.
UNIPOWER carries a full line of dc to dc converters designed for this very purpose with popular models being those converting 48VDC to 12VDC and 24VDC to 48VDC. these are all rack mount, taking only 1U of rack space in a systems. The racks or shelves are all capable of accepting up to 3 dc converter modules ranging in power from 700 watts each to 1000 watts each, meaning that a single 1U space can provide as much as 3000 watts of dc to dc conversion.
The models available are:
- 48VDC input with 12VDC output at 650W per module
- 48VDC input with 24VDC output at 700W per module
- 24VDC input with 48VDC output at 1000W per module
These systems are all Hot-swap and redundant for use in high reliability DC/DC applications. Multiple racks or shelves can be also paralleled to provide higher power levels of conversion. These converters can work with a fairly wide input range and can also work in battery backed up systems.
