The RCB1200 is a modular configurable switching mode power supply offering an extreme flexibility, high efficiency, 
sophisticated control functions and an industry leading power density exceeding 20 W/in

3

. In fact, the RCB1200 is capable of a 

total 1200 W of continuous output power in a (6.05 x 6.09 x 1.61) in package.  

This power supply is an effective power solutions for all system designers as they address the pressing demands for more 
power within less space, higher efficiency, sophisticated control features and wider flexibility. 

The basic system consists of two independent input sections each of them providing 600 W of continuous power to their 
respective output sections. Each output section consist of four slots where can be plugged a 150 W fully isolated output 
module. 
Each section offers, as a standard, a +5 V, 200 mA isolated bias supply, an AC mains signal (AC_OK), an individual and a 
global inhibit signal (INH or GINH) through which each single or all output modules simultaneously can be enabled or disabled. 

Output modules are currently available in single output voltage types with models voltage ranges covering from 1.5 V to 58 V 
and currents up to 25 A. All outputs can be connected in parallel or in a series resulting in a voltage range of up to 232 V and 
a maximum current of up to 100 A, from a single section of the power supply.  
All modules are supplied with advanced voltage and current control functions, sense signals and a reg5 V bias supply 
capable of 20 mA, as a standard.  

The RCB1200 cooling is provided by two built in fans, which speed is independently and automatically controlled by the 
corresponding input section of the power unit. This system ensures the unit proper cooling in any operating condition 
maintaining at minimum fan’s RPM and, in turn, acoustic noise.   

The RCB1200 carries IEC/EN/UL 60950 2

nd

 edition safety approvals and comply with EN61000-3, EN61000-4 and EN55022 

class B EMC standards, making it suitable for all types of industrial and telecoms applications.
