AC/DC Power Supply PowerPac 1200 Dual Input
Modular power supply with DC as well as AC input
The PowerPac 1200 Dual Input device is a compact and rugged AC/DC power supply and an intelligent battery charger in one, with a rated output of 28 V/40 A with AC as well as DC input. It meets the most discerning mechanical and electrical demands on ruggedness and can handle great input voltage fluctuations. The PowerPac 1200 input current is power factor corrected (PFC) for optimal use of weak power sources such as portable generators. Its shunting switch technology allows for great power efficiency. When operated as a stand-alone unit or installed into a 19" rack system, it only takes up a height of 2U (88.9 mm/3.5").
The PowerPac 1200 comes with a RS485 port that can be used for control, monitoring, and configuration. This port can be used to access detailed status and statistical information. The signal connections offer multiple signals:
Alarm relay outputs, external battery temperature sensors, and a bus for connecting multiple devices in a redundant or parallel system. The PowerPac 1200 can be configured to charge a diverse range of battery types, such as lead-acid, NiMH, and NiCd, as well as for future battery technology on the software side. Temperature-compensated charging ensures full battery capacity throughout the temperature range. The device is protected against overvoltage, short-circuiting, overcurrent, and excess temperatures. The 12V,24V or 36V DC/DC module makes it possible to charge from two power sources. Depending on the setting, the more powerful source, e.g., a 24 V generator, 24 V battery, or the public power grid, is automatically switched on or off. If the 230 V mains is selected as the primary power source, the power-supplying 24 V battery (12V or 36V version additionally available) can also be charged moderately.
