HIGH CURRENT PRO SERIES
HCP-1200 POWER SUPPLY
ELITE POWER MEETS UNRIVALED PERFORMANCE
Antec’s HCP-1200 unifies raw power with advanced PSU engineering to meet the demands of high performing PCs. A full-featured, 80 PLUS® Gold-certified unit, HCP-1200 is capable of outputting 99 percent of its rated power on its eight +12V rails, which contain high maximum loads to ensure graphics card compatibility. Exclusive to the High Current series, HCP-1200 boasts High Current heavy-gauge 16 AWG wiring that reduces conducted resistance, increasing efficiency and improving power delivery. In addition, a cool-running dual double-layer PCB and onboard DC-to-DC converters provide substantial voltage stability.
STANDARDS AND FEATURES
The connectors and power specifications of the HCP-1200 PSU are all compatible with ATX12V v2.3 and EPS12V v2.92 specifications. The HCP-1200 features Universal Input, which automatically senses when you connect the power supply to any AC power source between 100 - 240V without setting a voltage switch. This power supply also features Active Power Factor Correction (PFC), which improves the power factor value of the power supply by altering the input current wave shape, helping to power transmission across the grid.
SYSTEM PROTECTION
A variety of industrial-grade safety circuitry will help protect your computer: Over Current Protection (OCP), Over Voltage Protection (OVP), Short Circuit Protection (SCP), Over Power Protection (OPP) and Over Temperature Protection (OTP). Sometimes the PSU will “latch” into a protected state. You will need to power off the PSU and clear the fault before it will function again. There are no user-replaceable fuses in your HCP-1200.
SPECIAL QUIET COMPUTING™ PULSE WIDTH MODULATION (PWM) FAN
A PWM fan can spin much more slowly and be quieter than a voltage-controlled fan. The PSU uses a PWM fan that can spin as slow as 400 RPM or as fast as 4000 RPM, depending on load and ambient temperature. The PSU will vary the fan speed depending on the load of your computer and should be nearly inaudible when your computer is idling. The location of the PSU fan also helps to reduce the sound emitted by your computer.
