General Electric CAR3012TE 3000W AC-DC Power Supply, 90–264VAC Input, 12VDC Output: This is a 3000-watt switching front-end AC-to-DC power supply with a universal AC input range and a 12-volt DC output rail. It is intended for industrial, telecom, and high-density rack-power applications. This is a stand-alone front-end PSU brick, NOT a server-specific hot-swap PSU and NOT keyed to a particular chassis. This is a refurbished unit.
Engineering Context
The CAR3012TE accepts the full universal mains range from 90VAC to 264VAC at 47–63Hz, which lets the same unit be deployed in North American 120V, European 230V, and industrial 208V environments without reconfiguration. It outputs a regulated 12VDC rail at up to 3000W of continuous load. Active power-factor correction is standard at this power class to meet utility PFC mandates and reduce input-current draw on shared circuits.
Deployment & Use Cases
Bulk 12V DC power for high-density LED lighting walls and digital signage. Front-end power for telecom and base-station racks running 12V DC distribution. Industrial automation cabinets that need a single high-wattage 12V brick. Lab and burn-in test rigs requiring a clean 3kW 12V source.

Compatibility & Hard Constraints
Compatible with any 12VDC load whose continuous draw stays at or below the 3000W rating. Not a drop-in hot-swap replacement for branded server PSUs (Dell, HP, Lenovo, Supermicro) — connector and signaling are not server-specific. Not rated for 24V or 48V outputs. Voltage-derating, current-sharing, or N+1 paralleling capability is NOT verified by T.E.S unless explicitly stated; if your application requires paralleling, contact us first to confirm the unit's revision supports it.
Why Choose T.E.S IT-SOLUTIONS
T.E.S IT-SOLUTIONS load-tests each PSU at the rated output, verifies regulation across the input range where lab equipment permits, and inspects the input/output connectors before shipment. We provide global shipping, pre-sale guidance on power-budget planning, and 1–3 business day handling. See tes-itsolutions.com for related industrial power gear.
