New Power System From Eltek Valere Triples Power Output For Industrial Applications
Richardson, TX - Eltek Valere recently announced the Compact 130V DC Power System, a breakthrough DC power system that brings small size and high efficiency to utility and industrial back-up power applications. The power system is only 2RU (rack units) high, but provides up to 50 amps of output current, up to triple the power levels of competing systems.
The solution is ideal for applications where a reliable 130V DC power source is critical, such as materials processing, utility switching, construction sites, mining locations and water and waste treatment sites. With its 92% power conversion efficiency and -40°C to +65°C operating range, the Compact 130V DC Power System emits 35% less waste heat and is an ideal power solution for demanding environments.
"The innovation built into the Compact 130V DC Power System has been field tested in rugged telecom applications, and is now ready to provide the same size, control and efficiency benefits to remote industrial sites," said Al Cioffi, Eltek Valere vice president of business development. "This product is the first in an expanded effort by Eltek Valere to target the industrial/utility market, so customers can expect more innovation in the coming year."
The base power shelf has room for up to five Eltek Valere L Series rectifiers, which offer 10 Amps output each. Up to two power shelves may be integrated with a distribution panel to create a high power solution using common components. The scalability of the system allows it to grow with the needs of the remote site – without requiring expensive retrofits or additional space.
The system offers distribution options including bulk termination, circuit breakers or fuses making it versatile enough for powering a wide range of equipment including critical utility switching, control and communications equipment.
The Compact 130V DC Power System accepts AC input of 90V to 264V and also has battery interfaces for back up power systems.
The Compact 130V DC Power System has a powerful system controller that monitors every aspect of the system and can be accessed through the front-panel display or with digital communications options that include either LAN or dial-up access to a Web browser based monitoring system. The comprehensive reporting system readily interfaces with SCADA systems and enables more remote maintenance and troubleshooting to reduce the cost of maintenance.
