Power Supply
ToolPwr-S
The ToolPwr-S is a 2U-high 19“ unit with a nominal output current of 2,5 amps
and a peak output current of 4 amps. The ToolPwr-S comes with two 5-pin XLR
output connectors. The nominal power is 230 watts.
ToolPwr-E
Like the ToolPwr-S, the ToolPwr-
E is a 2U-high 19“ unit; however,
the nominal output current is 5
amps and the peak output current
is 7 amps. The ToolPwr-E comes
with a bigger power transformer, a larger heat sink, high power voltage regula-
tors and bigger load capacitors. Like the ToolPwr-S it has two 5-pin XLR output
connectors. The nominal power is 450 watts.
Phantom Power
The considerations of the output current refers to the capacity of the audio sup-
ply voltages. The 48 volts phantom supply in each of the power supply units is
designed to supply high current condenser microphones if the entire capaci-
ty of the audio supply is used for microphone amplifiers. Therefore, there is no
need to consider the capacity of the phantom power supply.
Power Supply Outputs
Depending on the power supply unit, there are one or two 5-pin XLR output
connectors. The picture shows the rear panel of a ToolPwr-S with 2 output con-
nectors, wired in parallel.
Power Supply Connections between Power Supply Unit and Frame
6 core, high cross section control cables, fitted with 5-pin XLR plugs are used
for the power cables. The cross section of each core is 0.75 mm2 = AWG18. The
