The UNIPOWER Guardian Access 2U 180 Amp DC Power System is a 2RU high 19” rack-mounted, integrated DC power system providing an output of -48VDC. These systems can accommodate up to 3 Guardian family high efficiency hot-swap rectifiers. Alpine Power Systems is an approved distributor of UNIPOWER products. The UNIPOWER Guardian Access 2U - MS28 DC Power System has a 3 year warranty.

The UNIPOWER Guardian Access 2U 180 Amp DC Power System provides a total load current of 100A / 5.4kW is available with battery charge current up to 65A in addition. The rectifiers are internally fan cooled with speed control which is a function of load and temperature, keeping acoustic noise to a minimum.

The DC output circuits of the Guardian Access 2U 180 Amp DC Power System can provide up to 5 loads which utilize circuit breakers rated from 4A to 150A. 2 additional 80A, 100A or 125A breakers provide battery protection. A programmable 125A low voltage battery disconnect (LVD) is standard while a partial load disconnect (PLD), also rated at 125A and programmable, can provide non-critical load shedding when operating on batteries.
