Powerstax A3600 1U Rack Mounted Power Supply Offers up to 3600 Watt output

The A3600 series of power supplies from Powerstax, one of Europe’s leading value-added power solutions manufacturers, offers system builders a convenient and compact power source for applications including communications, industrial, instrumentation and test and measurement. Offering up to 3600 watts of output power in 1U high and 350mm deep19“ rack mount package the Powerstax A3600 can provide single and very flexible multiple output solutions.

All outputs are isolated and may be connected in series or parallel to provide many thousands of possible output configurations or up to 36 individually adjustable single outputs. Input voltage range is nominal 115VAC or 230VAC

The design and topology of the Powerstax A3600 makes it possible to individually adjust, enable, parallel or stack the outputs to provide literally thousands of power solutions andallows rapid mainstream production turnaround of CE marked configured units in a matter of weeks.

Rob Hill, Director of Sales  EMEA for Powerstax, comments: “The Powerstax A3600 series offers designers a low profile, ultra-flexible, cost effective solution which may be configured to meet application specific exact power architecture requirements without undertaking a custom design. The A3600 offers a cost effective and fast time to market solution to many power supply requirements where no apparent solution exists.”

Standard features of the Powerstax A3600 include 1 to 36 isolated outputs with full user configurability1.5V to 58VDC standard output voltages, up to 3600W of output power, fully floating outputs providing series and parallel output capability, zero load operationbias supply voltage 5V @ 250mA, Class B conducted emissions, designed for EN61000-3-2 compliance, universal input, individual control signals and operating temperature range of 0 to +50ºC

Powerstax designs and manufactures an extensive range of standardvalue-added and custom AC & DC power solutions for a broad range of fixed and mobile applications including hot swap front end AC-DC bulk power, DC-DC converter bricks and modules and programmable, modular rack mounted power supplies.

The main markets served by Powerstax include industrial, defence, transportation, avionics, telecoms, datacoms, IT, test, measurement and control, medical equipment and allcommercial markets. For more information contact sales@powerstaxplc.com or visit www.powerstaxplc.com

Want early design analysis without simulation?

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Traditional verification methods are failing today's complex IC designs, which require a proactive, early-stage analysis approach. A shift-left methodology addresses IP block integration challenges and the limitations of traditional simulation and ERC tools. Insight Analyzer detects hard-to-find leakage issues across power domains, enabling early analysis without full simulation. Identify inefficiencies earlier to reduce rework, improve reliability, and enhance power performance.

GaN for Humanoid Robots
Sponsored by Mouser Electronics and Infineon
In this episode of Chalk Talk, Eric Persson and Amelia Dalton explore why power is the key driver for efficient and reliable robot movements and how GaN technologies can help motor control solutions be more compact, integrated and efficient. They also investigate the role of field-oriented control in humanoid robotic applications and why the choice of a GaN power transistor can make all the difference in your next humanoid robot project!
