VANGUARD PSMU-350-3 CPCI-350Q-P-38

Key Features and Advantages:VANGUARD PSMU-350-3 CPCI-350Q-P-38 CPCI

Redundant Power Architecture: The PSMU-350-3 CPCI-350Q-P-38 supports parallel redundancy when paired with identical modules, eliminating single points of failure. This feature is critical for high-availability systems, such as those in data centers or industrial control rooms, where downtime is unacceptable.

 

Hot-Swappable Design: The module’s hot-swap capability allows live insertion and removal, enabling maintenance or upgrades without disrupting system operations. This reduces mean time to repair (MTTR) and enhances overall system reliability.

 

High-Efficiency Power Conversion: With up to 92% energy efficiency, the module minimizes heat generation and lowers operational costs. Its active PFC circuit ensures compliance with harmonic current standards, making it suitable for installations with strict power quality requirements.

 

Robust Thermal Management: Integrated dual fans provide forced-air cooling, while the rugged aluminum enclosure enhances heat dissipation. The module’s wide temperature range and tolerance to vibration (5–500 Hz, 2 g) make it suitable for harsh industrial and mobile applications.

 

Comprehensive Protection: Built-in safeguards include overvoltage protection, overcurrent limiting, and thermal shutdown, protecting both the module and connected equipment from damage caused by power surges or overloads.

 

CPCI Standards Compliance: Designed to meet PICMG 2.11 (power supply standard for CPCI), the PSMU-350-3 CPCI-350Q-P-38 ensures interoperability with other CPCI-compliant components, simplifying system integration and expansion.

Installation and Maintenance:VANGUARD PSMU-350-3 CPCI-350Q-P-38 CPCI

Pre-installation Preparations:
Before installing the VANGUARD PSMU-350-3 CPCI-350Q-P-38, ensure the CPCI backplane is properly grounded and powered off. Verify the backplane’s compatibility with 3U CPCI power modules and clean the slot to remove dust or debris. Align the module with the backplane connectors and firmly seat it until the latches engage, ensuring a secure electrical connection. For redundant configurations, install a second PSMU-350-3 CPCI-350Q-P-38 in the designated redundant slot and configure the backplane for parallel operation.

 

Maintenance Suggestions:

 

  • Routine Cleaning: Every six months, use compressed air to clear dust from the module’s fan vents and heat sinks, ensuring optimal airflow and preventing overheating.
  • Fan Inspection: Regularly check the fan status using the module’s built-in LED indicators. Replace the fan immediately if unusual noise or reduced airflow is detected, using the CPCI-350Q-FAN-01 replacement part.
  • Voltage Monitoring: Periodically verify output voltage using a multimeter to ensure it remains within the ±1% tolerance range. Adjust or replace the module if deviations are detected.
  • Firmware Updates: Although firmware updates are rare for power modules, consult VANGUARD’s technical support for any available updates to address compatibility or performance improvements.
