Lambda UK has launched a new version of its FPS1000 front end power supply with a nominal output voltage of 32V adjustable from 28.8 to 38.4. The maximum power output of the unit is 992W and up to 8 units can be paralleled for redundancy or increased power.

A standard 1U rack is available to house up to 3 FPS1000 front end power supplies. Each unit weighs 2Kg

The Lambda FPS1000 Series unit has a high efficiency of 87% at 200VAC meaning that less heat is dissipated into a system. The unit is capable of being ‘hotswapped’ and is therefore suitable for those requiring N+1 redundancy. With a full array of opto isolated signals (DC OK, AC Fail, over-temperature warning, high on fail) the new model offers easier system monitoring.

Accepting a wide range input from 85 to 265V the model features over-voltage protection of 41.5 to 45.5V and over-current protection of 105 to 125% (constant current). Operating temperature range is normally 0 to 70 deg C (with derating from 50 to 70) and the unit meets ETS 300 019 shock and vibration standard.

The FPS1000 provides a lowest cost of ownership solution through a combination of power density, efficiency, N+1 and 2 year warranty. It is perfectly suited to RF power amplifier and broadcast applications demanding high reliability.
