FM transmitter manufacturer R.V.R. Elettronica, celebrating its 45th year, will exhibit at the NAB Show in the Broadcast Depot booth.
It will introduce the Hot Plug-in Next Gen high-power series by showing a 10 kW Hot Plug-in EPS Transmitter. EPS stands for Extractable Power Supplies.
“Due to the increasingly common need for fast maintenance, minimal downtime and redundancy at multiple points in the transmitter, R.V.R. has decided to provide a drawer of hot-pluggable power supplies, with an additional empty slot for N+1 PSU configurations.”
It allows the integration of supplies from different brands based on the budget and technical needs of clients in various countries.
In the company’s Hot Plug-in Standard Series, power supplies are placed inside each Hot Pluggable Power Amplifier Module; the user extracts the entire amplifier module to work on the power supply section. It allows simple maintenance but requires the complete RF and power supply module to be turned off.
In the new Hot Plug-in Next Gen Series, currently available in 6 and 10 kW versions, the EPS enhancement allows the user to extract each power supply without shutting down the amplifiers. The configuration increases redundancy since each amplifier is separated from the power supply “bank” section. The power supplies are available in a slot mounted on the front the rack, and each can be hot-plugged independently. The option allows extremely quick intervention.
