Advanced Energy Industries introduced a single-whip AC input option for its 33 kW ORv3 High-Power Rack (HPR) power shelf at the 2026 OCP Global Summit. The new design offers a single AC connection for each shelf, with left- or right-side input choices to suit varying data center rack configurations.
“Power delivery into IT racks has been planned around a facility’s AC distribution and its computing load,” said Conor Quinn, Vice President, Marketing, High Volume Products, Advanced Energy. “The position of the AC feed affects cable routing and rack layout. Offering engineers a choice of input location enables them to account for these design constraints in their system design work.”
The shelf accommodates six 5.5 kW power supply modules in one Open Rack Unit (1OU) form factor. A fully populated shelf delivers 33 kW without redundancy or 27.5 kW with N+1 power-module redundancy. The modules are hot-swappable.
Multiple shelves can operate in parallel to power racks requiring 100 kW or more, supporting AI and high-performance computing applications. Customers can select from multiple monitoring and control options, including an Ethernet-based controller compatible with DMTF Redfish. As always, Advanced Energy’s global field application engineering team provides responsive technical support.
