The TDK-Lambda HFE3500 series comprises high-performance 3500W front-end power supplies in a 1U form factor for industrial applications. Designed for hot-swappable and redundant system architectures, the series is suitable for both standalone operation and highly scalable power supply concepts with up to 13,300W in a single 1U rack. Up to four power supplies can be integrated into a 19-inch 1U rack, while up to three complete racks can be connected in parallel for a common output solution. Thanks to its internal ORing MOSFET, current-share function, and standard PMBus interface, the HFE3500 series provides a reliable, easily monitored, and flexibly adaptable power supply for demanding industrial, communications, test, and broadcast applications. Standard features also include AC fail and DC good signals, remote on/off, remote adjust, and an auxiliary output of 5V or 12V. Variants with 24V or 48V output voltage are available.
