The CoolX and UltiMod series are versatile modular AC-DC power supplies for demanding industrial, medical, and defence applications. Each platform lets engineers configure multiple isolated DC outputs within one compact chassis, helping simplify complex power architectures. CoolX models include fanless convection-cooled options for low-noise environments, while higher-power variants and UltiMod units use controlled fan cooling for greater output capability. The modular design supports field reconfiguration, allowing outputs to be changed, added, or combined in series or parallel without replacing the full power supply. High efficiency, compact mechanical formats, and rugged construction make these units suitable for space-constrained and harsh operating conditions. Medical and industrial safety approvals, along with control and monitoring options, support integration into critical systems such as diagnostic equipment, lasers, automation, communications, and test platforms.
The CoolX and UltiMod families combine configurable multi-output power with compact packaging for applications that need flexibility, reliability, and certification readiness. With support for multiple isolated outputs, field reconfiguration, and power levels from 600 W to 3000 W, these platforms help designers reduce the need for multiple separate power supplies while adapting to evolving system requirements.

FAQs
for CoolX and UltiMod Series Modular / Configurable Power Supplies
Each unit uses plug-in output modules that can be selected to match the required voltage and power. Individual outputs can then be fine-adjusted through onboard trim or remote control interfaces, and modules can be swapped or reconfigured in the field as system requirements change.
Yes. The isolated outputs can be connected in series for higher voltage or in parallel for higher current, giving added flexibility when standard module combinations need to support unusual load requirements.
CoolX adds fanless convection-cooled options and enhanced digital monitoring features, making it well suited to low-noise and high-reliability applications. UltiMod is a proven fan-cooled configurable platform available in 600 W and 1200 W versions for systems where convection cooling is not required.
Yes. The series carry medical safety approvals including EN 60601-1 with 2 × MOPP isolation, making them suitable for many medical applications when configured within the relevant safety and leakage current limits.
Both families support remote control functions at the module level. CoolX additionally offers PMBus digital communications for monitoring and control of key operating parameters, while UltiMod focuses on analog enable, trim, and status functions.
These power supplies include protections such as over-voltage protection, current limiting, short-circuit protection, thermal protection, inrush limiting, undervoltage lockout, and surge robustness to help protect both the power supply and the connected load.
