Washington, D.C.,  October 2024 – Elma Electronic has enhanced its RP24 rugged power supply  system to include the RA24 rechargeable battery module that improves the  uninterruptable power supply (UPS) capabilities of the system. The RP24/RA24  Rugged Power Solution is a comprehensive power system  designed for critical remote applications in  challenging environments.

Combining  the rugged RP24 Power Module with the high-capacity RA24 Battery Module  ensures continuous, reliable power for mobile, semi-mobile, and stationary  systems, even in the most extreme conditions. Up to 10 RA24 modules can be  cascaded, providing extended battery operation for several hours, while up to  five RP24 units are stackable in a single configuration for a combined 4,500W  of continuous power.

The  rugged power system provides enhanced power monitoring with intuitive  controls and a user-friendly interface. The RP24’s easy menu navigation and  alphanumeric display provides real-time diagnostics and status updates.  Remote monitoring is supported via SNMPv3-compatible Ethernet.

The  high-performance, compact RP24 is a modular power supply in a 19-inch  aluminum chassis, ideal for auxiliary DC power needed for field-deployed  radios and other communications equipment in military, industrial automation  and emergency response applications.

Oskar  Schulthess, business development manager, head of power solutions, for Elma  Electronic, noted, “The criticality of reliable power in remote, harsh  environments can’t be underestimated. This rugged power system not only  offers a scalable infrastructure to meet the various needs of in-the-field  applications, but now provides a means for extended operation for increased  piece of mind and reliability during military operations.”  

The  RP24 features a flexible 115/230 VAC input range, a stable 27 VDC output,  Class II reinforced isolation and IP67 protection. In addition to EMP,  overvoltage, shock and vibration protection, each 1000W AC/DC unit provides  full load operation from -35°C up to +60°C at an altitude of 3500m.

The  system can withstand shocks from falls up to 1.5 meters, ensuring reliability  during transport and deployment compliant with MIL-STD-810G. It also complies  with MIL-STD-461G for EMC and meets HEMP (High-altitude Electro Magnetic  Pulse).

Fully  charged in as little as four hours with sequential charging, the new,  high-capacity RA24 provides a 50 Ah Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) battery  known for its safety and longevity. With a nominal output voltage of 25.6V,  the RA24 ensures continuous power delivery during outages or in the absence  of an external power source.
