2.4.4 Rectifier Module
The Fan-Cooled XPGe12.48 (1200W), XR08.48 (800W) and XR04.48 (400W) rectifiers
are modular power supplies designed for parallel operation and hot-plug installation in
the Aspiro Power Systems.
CAUTION
Do not mix rectifier types in a single system.
Each rectifier provides extremely reliable DC power in a very high density. The module
incorporates power monitoring through an internal microprocessor, giving up to the
second updates to the system controller and companion rectifiers. This guarantees
tightly controlled load sharing among rectifiers, and provides status and identification
information to the controller.
The rectifiers operate in parallel using active load sharing. They incorporate soft-start
at both the input and the output, which protects against high incoming and outgoing
currents. The output voltage of the rectifier is automatically adjusted to the required
voltage by the controller.

XPGe12.48 rectifiers cannot be used in the same rack as XR04.48 / XR08.48 rectifiers.
