TEC series to include several output power options for server, storage and networking applications
The TEC series from Bel Power Solutions is a series of power supplies that offers titanium level efficiency (up to 96 per cent) for server, storage and networking applications.
Based on the Common Redundant Power Supplies (CRPS) standard, the first models available in the TEC series are the AC versions rated at 2200W, 2400W and 2600W output. More Titanium AC variants will follow rated at 800W, 1300W, 1600W and 2000W. All models offer overvoltage, overtemperature, overcurrent, overpower and short circuit protection. Standard or reverse airflow options are also available.
The company claims the high-power density of the TEC series helps to improve the overall system efficiency and enhance system reliability. Bel Power’s TEC series power supplies provide a main output of 12Vdc to support DC-DC converters in systems using distributed power architectures, together with a 12Vdc always-on standby output for power management circuitry.
Parallel operation with active analogue current sharing eliminates the need for additional components when multiple units are needed for very high current applications. These hot-swappable power supplies support N+1 redundant architectures. All AC-input models in the range offer low total harmonic current distortion (iTHD). Digital control using the PMBus protocol and a built-in I2C serial interface facilitates remote set-up, monitoring and control. Built-in black box recorder functionality continually monitors the power supply and can be used to speed up root cause analysis in the event of any issues during operation.
The CRPS standard was defined by Intel and targets hyper-converged compute, storage and networking equipment.
The TEC series is available from Arrow, Avnet, Digi-Key, Mouser, and Sager.
