OverviewThe Sorensen SGA Series modular, programmable DC power supplies deliver scalable DC power from single chassis (4–30 kW) to multi-chassis systems up to 1.9 MW. The architecture uses 5 kW building-block modules for flexible voltage/current configurations, with front air intake cooling that enables high rack density and stackable installation.

Product features and design detailsThe SGA Series is based on a 5 kW modular power block that can be installed one to six times per chassis to provide 4–30 kW per chassis depending on voltage selection. Chassis can be paralleled to scale total system power up to 1.9 MW while presenting a single-system current output. Front air-intake cooling and compact 3U/6U packaging increase rack density and permit stacked installations without side clearance.
