9023 - COMPLEX SYSTEM, QUICK TURNAROUND
Customer Need: A high output military application where continuous operation is critical. The customer working through another company found themselves at the critical design review with no power supply. The application is a torbedo threat warning system in a British submarine requiring multiple redundant power modules and hot spare capacity. The customer needed an immediate solution and turned to Ensign Power Sytems.

Ensign Solution: Over 20 years of experience in power supplies allowed us to deliver the first form-fit-function power supply that normally takes 6-9 months in only 13 weeks. Although not an ideal schedule, we recognized the importance of meeting our customer's critical needs and responded in full urgency. The power supply, a 3U high, 19-in. rack mount design, provides +5V @ 158A, + 12V @ 14A, and -12V @ 7A with N +1 redundancy, input power factor correction and battery backup for 50 seconds. The power supply has four power modules and will provide full power output with any three modules. A control module provides output monitoring, battery charging, and system interface for power supply status.
