Cherokee Power’s new CAR2500 Series of Front Ends and Rectifiers have been recognized by EDN as one of their “Products of Year”.

The CAR2500 Series consists of a rectifier model offering -54VDC at 2500 Watts in a 14.25 x 4.00 x 1.65″ hot-swap package; a front end offering +48VDC Output at 2500 Watts in the same 14.25 x 4.00 x 1.65″; a +12V Front End in footprint in a 4.88 x 4.00 x 1.61″; and a 19″ rack mount power shelf for the +48 / -54 VDC models.

EDN recognizes the
Cherokee products for delivering the highest power density of 27W/in3 that is the greatest available in the industry combined with operational efficiencies in excess of 92%. What truly makes these products excel is their ability to provide high efficiency operation under light loads, which is typical in the datya centers these products typically power. These products are designed to reduce real estate, heat dissipation and energy consumption, reducing the Total Cost of Ownership at the Data Center.

PowerGate has qualified the Cherokee CAR2500 Family of +12V / +48 VDC Front Ends and -54 VDC Rectifiers offering 2.5kW of Power that comes in an industry-leading high density package of only 14.25 x 4.00 x 1.65″ with optional 4-Bay Rack for up to 10kW of power in a 19? / 1U profile.

These supplies offer an unprecedented power density of 27W/in3 and an efficiency of 92 percent, the CAR2500 Family is the industry-leading front-end / rectifier power solution. A microcontroller allows more accurate temperature, current, and voltage sensing while supporting interfaces such as I2C, PMBus, and Ethernet protocols. Measuring only 1.61 x 4.00 x 14.25″. The CAR2500 Family operates on high line AC (180~264 VAC) with a standby voltage of either 3.3V or 5V at 1A. A thermally controlled fan enables -10 degrees Celsius (C) to +70C operation with a -40C startup. Additional features include hot-swap fumctionality, redundant operation, single-wire current sharing, output voltage programming, current readout, remote on/off and front plate LEDs. Protection features include input over and under voltage, output over voltage, over temperature and over current. A supporting power shelf offers scalability up to 10,000W with full hot-swap / redundant functions.

Small quantities are available from stock with a lead time of 9 weeks (typical). Specifications are available for download from http://www.powergatellc.com/pdfs/CAR2512FP.pdf. 500 piece pricing is as low as $685 for the power-modules & $380 for the power-shelf. Contact PowerGate LLC, the authorized North America distributor for Cherokee International, for sales and technical support at sales@powergatellc.com or (866) 588-1750.

PowerGate ’s review of the Cherokee Power CAR2548FP front-end power supply finds that the 2.5kW of +48 VDC Power Supply comes in the smalletst package available in the industry, measuring a miniature size of only 14.25 x 4.00 x 1.65? with optional 4-Bay Rack for 10kW of power in a 1U profile.

With an unprecedented power density of 27W/in3 and an efficiency of 92 percent, Cherokee’s CAR2548FP is the industry-leading front-end power solution. An onboard microcontroller allows more accurate temperature, current, and voltage sensing while supporting interfaces such as I2C, PMBus, and Ethernet protocols. Measuring only 1.61 x 4.00 x 14.25?, the CAR2548FP front end delivers +48 VDC / 52 Amps of at high line operation (180~264 VAC) with standby voltage of either 3.3V or 5V at 1A. A thermally controlled fan enables -10 degrees Celsius (C) to +70C operation and a -40C startup. Additional features include hot-swap and fault redundancy, active single-wire load sharing, output voltage programming, current readout, remote on/off and front plate LEDs. Protection features on the rectifier include input over and under voltage, output over voltage, over temperature and over current. A supporting power shelf offers scalability up to 10,000W with full hot-swap / redundant functions.

Small quantity is available from stock with a manufacturing lead time 9 weeks typical. Complete specifications are available for download from http://www.powergatellc.com/pdfs/CAR2548FP.pdf. Standard 500 piece pricing is as low as $685 for the power-modules & $380 for the power-shelf.
