Online Power Supply's Breakthrough Technology Yields Smallest, Lightest, Most Efficient Power Supplies
Units Available for Industry Review and Testing November 6
ENGLEWOOD, Colo., Oct 30, 2000 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- OnLine Power Supply, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: OPWR) has introduced a significant advancement in power supply technology for AC to DC applications. The company's new Power Factor Corrected Front End Module is the smallest, lightest, most reliable, most efficient power supply with no thermal deration currently available. The units, which have been in development for the past three years, are available for review and testing beginning November 6.
OnLine Power Supply, headquartered in Englewood, Colorado, develops, manufactures and markets AC to DC power conversion supplies for telecommunications, data communications, networking and industrial applications.
The new power supply units allow design engineers the freedom to redesign and reconfigure a wide range of equipment. They are over 97% efficient, the only units available that include the EMI filter and hold-up capacitors internally. Therefore they offer more power in a smaller form factor. This is a powerful advantage for manufacturers, allowing them to decrease the size and increase the performance of their equipment for end users.
The units' smaller size and lighter weight -- the units measure 2.9" x 1.6" x 5.7" and weigh less than two pounds -- mean they can supply more power than traditional units in a more compact space. The units generate less heat, eliminating the need for bulky cooling fans. These are important advantages in the communications and networking industries where reducing equipment size and footprint are high priorities.
The units' reliability and ability to function well in harsh environments increase their potential applications. They function at full power in temperatures ranging from -40 degrees to +85 degrees C, making them ideal for placement in outdoor equipment like communications towers and cell sites. They offer universal input so they can be used anywhere in the world.
OnLine's new units offer manufacturers a cost advantage in addition to design flexibility. They supply more power per unit, thus lowering overall system costs and increasing profitability.
"Our new power supply has the potential to change the industry," said Kris Budinger, OnLine Power Supply president and CEO. "We've been told that our specs are unbelievable, that it can't be done. So we are offering design engineers a challenge: test one of our units for 30 days. We are confident that your results will match or exceed ours."
