Advanced Energy Unveils M-CRPS Power Supplies
Three new OCP-compliant units deliver 3200 W to 3600 W for AI, data center, and telecom systems.
Updated on Nov. 4, 2026 in Data Centers
Advanced Energy unveiled three M-CRPS power supplies at the 2026 Open Compute Project Global Summit, two rated at 3200 W and one at 3600 W. All three use a standardized OCP-compliant form factor and achieve power densities exceeding 100 W/in³.
Why it matters
The units are designed to handle the growing power requirements of AI, data center, networking, and telecom architectures. The company says the standardized design is intended to help system architects reduce integration risk and speed time-to-market for next-generation AI platforms.
The CSU3600AT-9-3M0 delivers up to 66.7 A on its main output, the CSU3200AT-3-6M0 up to 262.3 A, and the DC-input CSU3200ADC-3-3M0 a regulated 12.2 V at up to 262.29 A, with a 2-millisecond hold-up time on the DC model. Independent verification of these specifications and release timing has not been reported.
The players
Advanced Energy
Advanced Energy is a publicly traded U.S. power conversion company that designs power supplies for data center, telecom, and industrial markets.
Open Compute Project
The Open Compute Project is an industry consortium that develops and shares open hardware designs for data center infrastructure.
The details
All three units share a 1U enclosure measuring 73.5 by 185 by 40 millimeters and include active current sharing, redundant mode, and I²C and PMBus digital control interfaces. The 3600 W and 3200 W AC-input models accept 90 to 127 VAC, 180 to 264 VAC, and 192 to 310 VDC, while the CSU3200ADC-3-3M0 accepts -40 to -72 VDC for centralized telecom infrastructure.

The Tech Race
The units extend the Open Compute Project's standardized power-supply form factor into higher-wattage configurations as AI infrastructure demand accelerates. The move places Advanced Energy among suppliers competing to serve rack designs built around shared open hardware standards.
For data center operators and system integrators, the standardized form factor may simplify sourcing and rack integration for AI and telecom deployments. End users are unlikely to see direct effects, as these components sit inside server and telecom equipment.
The takeaway
Power delivery is becoming a primary constraint in AI infrastructure, so standardized, high-density components are drawing attention from system architects. Buyers evaluating these units should verify efficiency and availability with the manufacturer directly.
