Emerson Network Power reveals the DS460S-3 bulk front end AC-DC power supply that can achieve a high typical conversion efficiency of 92 per cent at 50 per cent full load, meeting the Climate Savers Computing Gold standard.

It suits applications that include distributed power architectures, such as computing, storage, networking, datacom and test and measurement systems.

The DS460S-3 has a 1U x 2U form factor, measuring 196.9mm in length and 40.5mm in height. Rated at 460W, the DS460S-3 power supply generates a main payload output of 12Vdc and an auxiliary output of 12Vdc for powering standby circuitry. It features a wide 90 to 264Vac input voltage range and employs active power factor correction to minimise input harmonic current distortion and ensure compliance with the international EN61000-3-2 standard, with a power factor of 0.99 typical.

Digitally programmable, the DS460S-3 is equipped with an I2C interface available with industry-standard PMBus communications protocol. The DS460S-3 also features a built-in low noise "smart" fan and holds safety certifications from UL/cUL, NEMKO, CB, and CE.

It is priced at Rs.8,877.12 ($189) per unit in production quantities.
