7200-A-125-1-FNT-RT

 

Power Entry Panels:

  • Features both +24/28 VDC to 200 Amps and 3-Phase AC to 60 AMP per phase input/output distribution capability
  • PEPs include a 3-Phase 60 Amp pass through connector interface to support additional Forward Operating Base requirements.
  • Models are ruggedized, temperature stable and MIL-STD capable
 
 

HV DC Power Strips

  • The use of 380VDC in the lab reduces the number of power conversion devices thus reducing the need for Cooling costs, extending the life of critical infrastructure.
  • Lower overall lower total cost of ownership.
  • DC power eliminates the conversion process of changing AC to DC, reducing heat and lowering costs.
