Stackable Rugged Power System with Extended Backup for Remote Applications

Reliable, scalable, uninterruptible power ideal for field-deployed equipment
Technology Highlights

  • RP24 Rugged Power Supply Module: capable of delivering 1,000W of continuous power. Up to five can stack for combined output of 4,500W
  • RA24 Rugged Battery Module: enhances RP24 system with UPS capabilities. Up to 10 can be cascaded for several hours of extended operation
  • Both modules built to endure extreme environments: water, dust, ice, shock, vibration

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.
