POWER SUPPLY SOLUTIONS

High Quality and Reliable Power Supplies for High-End Applications

High-availability, high-end applications demand high quality and reliable power supplies. Offering power ratings from 400W to in excess of 2kW - and available from Arrow on very short leadtimes - Astec Power's medium- and high-power flexible AC/DC products are the ideal choice.

From industrial process controllers to manufacturing robots, laboratory instrumentation to medical equipment, and telecommunications systems to networking products, high-end applications are expected to deliver high availability and reliable operation. To address this, designers of these systems must select power supplies that are optimised to application requirements in terms of performance and functionality, while assuring high quality and reliable operation.

Astec Power’s MVP and VS series of standard and configurable AC/DC power supplies are specifically designed to meet the needs of high-end, high-availability applications. And with Arrow typically delivering application-specific configurations in just a matter of days, implementing the optimum power supply solution doesn’t mean compromising on development time.

Astec MVP Series



Offering nominal output ratings from 400W to 1250W, Astec’s MVP range of medium-power supplies uses a fully configurable modular construction that allows designers to specify bespoke supplies with between one and 21 fully isolated outputs of between 2V and 60V. The supplies are housed in low-profile, 64mm packages, incorporate a wide range of standard features, and can be configured at Arrow’s configuration facility in a matter of days.
