Emerson Network Power Launches Highest Density
Bulk Front-End Distributed Power Supply
CARLSBAD, Calif. [October 22, 2009] — Emerson Network Power, a business of Emerson
and the global leader in enabling Business-Critical Continuity™, today launched the HPS3000,
its highest density bulk front-end distributed power supply. The 3,000 W HPS3000 offers
enterprise networking professionals and telecommunications system integrators a compact,
high-density power solution and a cost-effective alternative to ac-dc rectifiers and other
rack-based power options.
The HPS3000 produces 48 V of regulated output power at 62.0 A and is rated for up to 3,000
W of total output power at 200 Vac input (1,500 W at 110 Vac). The power supply features a
compact 1U x 3U form factor, resulting in outstanding power density of more than 41 W per
cubic inch. It is designed with same-side ac inputs and dc outputs for convenient rack
configuration. In addition, up to four HPS3000 units can be operated in parallel across a 1U 19
inch rack shelf to deliver 12 KW of total output power. Multi-rack shelf paralleling is also
supported.
The power supply offers high-efficiency (approximately 92 percent at 50 percent load) and
supports a wide operating temperature range of minus 10 to plus 40 degrees Celsius. To
provide the highest levels of cooling flexibility, the HPS3000 is available with or without an
onboard variable speed fan, allowing customers to use alternative forced-air cooling options.
The optional “smart fan” is equipped with integrated fan fail and fan speed controls to enhance
overall energy efficiency. The HPS3000 is also digitally programmable and fully compatible with
Emerson Network Power’s PMBus™ graphical user interface software, providing customers
with real-time test, monitoring and configuration functionality.
The HPS3000 is hot-swappable and features both N+1 redundancy and internal ORing
controllers to minimize downtime and enhance overall serviceability. When used under normal
operating conditions (25 degrees Celsius ambient at full load), it has a high demonstrated mean
time between failures (MTBF) of more than 500,000 hours. Furthermore, as an added measure
to ensure industry-leading power continuity, the HPS3000 is comprehensively protected against
over voltage (up to 120 percent), short-circuit (up to 130 percent) and over temperature
conditions (above 55 degrees Celsius).
The power supply complies with EN55022-B and FCC part 15 Level “A” EMC standards for
conducted noise, including all applicable immunity standards. It also carries UL/cUL60950
safety approvals and is fully compliant with Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS)
directives. Extra isolation between outputs and chassis make the HPS3000 compliant to Power
over Ethernet (PoE) requirements.
Emerson Network Power’s HPS3000 bulk front-end distributed power supply is available now.
Pricing starts at $330 in production quantities. For detailed product information or to inquire
