Mod. A3486 AC/DC Converter for Hostile Areas 

The CAEN Mod. A3486 is a two channel 220/400 Vac – 48 Vdc converter, which allows 
to integrate into the EASY channels control also the management of the 48 V power 
supplies. Each channel provides a 2 kW output and can be tracked in order to obtain one 
4 kW output. This module is designed to work as main converter in LHC hostile areas, 
thus completing the EASY system. Features include local or remote control, overload 
protection and local or remote inhibit function.
