APEC Unveils 4kW Multi-Output AC-DC PSU

Advanced Energy Industries is making waves at the Applied Power Electronics Conference (APEC) in Long Beach this week with the unveiling of their latest innovation - the NP08 4kW ac-dc power supply. This cutting-edge product is the first member of the NeoPower (NP) family of configurable multi-output supplies, setting a new standard in power supply technology.

The NP08 boasts eight output slots for configuration within its compact 63mm high chassis, offering an impressive 18W/inch3 density. Designed for versatility, the input range covers single-phase 90 - 132Vac and 180 - 264Vac, catering to a wide range of applications and environments.

"One of the key features of the NP08 is its integrated and flexible communication capabilities, supported by optional dongles that enable compatibility with all common digital communication protocols without the need for design modifications," stated a representative from Advanced Energy Industries. "Moreover, the NP08 is fully compliant with essential standards such as the medical BF safety rating and the SEMI F47 standard for immunity from voltage sag."

Among the communication options available are RS-485 (Modbus RTU), PMbus, and CANbus (CANopen) protocols, making the NP08 an ideal choice for IoT applications that require cloud-based monitoring and control. This emphasis on connectivity underscores Advanced Energy's commitment to meeting the evolving needs of the industry.

Aside from the NP08, visitors to APEC can also expect to see a range of other innovative products from Advanced Energy Industries. These include hyperscale data center power supplies, a 1.5kJ capacitor charger designed for medical applications, a low-voltage PSU capable of handling up to 2.3kW, and an RF power source tailored for semiconductor etch and deposition processes.
