PSC PowerStar LiFE Zeus Power Distribution System

The PSC PowerStar LiFE Zeus puts a 60 Ah LiFePO4 battery, a 600 W charger, and eleven filtered outputs in two rack spaces for a sound or video cart.

The 12.8 V battery is three 20 Ah packs in one, so it is triple redundant. PSC grades and matches their cells into sets, rates them for 3C charge and discharge, and builds in cell balancing for a longer battery life.

The 600 W switching supply filters its AC input against common-mode and differential noise, harmonics, and spikes. It limits its own current under extreme conditions and charges without adding noise in the field.

Two 8 A, two 5 A, and seven 3 A outputs each have their own audio and RF filter, a resettable polyfuse, and an LED on the front panel. A dedicated output runs an inverter, and the circuit boards use 4 oz copper to cut internal power loss.

The included remote control box lets the Zeus sit down and out of the way on the cart. It adds a second set of on and off controls, a battery fuel gauge, digital LED volt and current meters, and four USB charging ports. The Zeus runs with or without it. The Zeus is convection cooled with no fans, and its rack brackets mount from the front or back and offset to clear XLR connectors in a tight rack. PSC ships it by ground only.
