MPC-12R

Universal Chassis and Hot-Swappable Redundant Power Supply

State-of-the-Art full module N+1
redundancy ensures dual supply
operation enabling hot insertion or
removal of either power
supply module without
system disruption and
guaranteeing zero
down time
Current sharing,
redundant design, and
cooling fan provides much
less current load per supply ensuring
cooler operation thereby substantially
improving their long-term reliability
High efficiency supplies (over 75%)
minimize power consumption and
heat dissipation
High isolation O Ring blocking diodes
provide unit-to-unit short circuit
protection and isolation from hot-swap	MPC-12R
interaction by preventing power bus
disturbance
Internal fusing circuitry provides
current overload protection and precise
voltage regulation thereby preventing	Universal Chassis and Hot-Swappable Redundant Power Supply
