The new power system, the LCM4000HV, offers hot-swapable power supplies from Advanced Energy. It also simplifies the installation, maintenance and scalability of high-volume LED lighting projects for horticultural and commercial lighting applications.
The LCM4000HV single-phase AC/DC high-voltage power module has a rated power of up to 4000 W and an operating efficiency of up to 95%. Combined with the new LCM12K 19" 1U rack mounting frame, the LCM4000HV single-phase AC/DC high-voltage power module provides centralized current source lighting for medium and large leds.
"Indoor growers looking to reduce costs and maximize farm productivity are turning to centralized power systems that distribute direct current rather than alternating current directly to individual LEDS. This approach can save up to 50 percent on power conversion costs, "says Joe Voyles, vice president of Industrial power conversion at Advanced Energy. "In addition to saving energy, the LCM4000HV series accelerates the installation of power conversion subsystems, provides hot-plug capabilities, simplifies maintenance, and enables rapid expansion."
Modules fully comply with DLC gardening lighting technical requirements (version 2.1). They can be used in conjunction with the company's new LCM12K 19 "1U rack rack, which delivers up to 12 kW of power through hot swap replacements. This combination enables the customer to place the power conversion subsystem containing a number of rack-mounted AC/DC power supplies in a control room outside the garden lighting planting area.
The series uses a variable speed intelligent fan with dust control to simplify thermal management and provide high reliability. PSU has a minimum MTBF of 200,000 hours and each module comes with a five-year warranty. The module provides 0A to 16A flicker free current source with an output voltage range of 100VDC to 300VDC. Input voltage options are 187VAC to 364VAC and 311VAC to 528VAC. Input and output voltages can be configured through the Modbus interface, enabling the power supply to be optimized for the specific needs of the target application.
