Aqua Computer presents AMPINEL, a monitoring device for 12V-2x6 power supply connections that combines active current balancing, monitoring, and emergency shutdown for the first time. In the event of uneven load distribution, AMPINEL intervenes without delay, balancing the currents and thus preventing thermal overload of the connectors and cables. AMPINEL monitors all currents, voltages, and temperatures at the connector. The flexible alarm management with emergency shutdown ensures reliable protection of the hardware.

Uniform power distribution - reliable overheating protection
When up to 600 watts flow through the 12V-2x6 connection, insufficient contact between connectors can result in an uneven distribution of power. Under high loads, this inevitably leads to critical temperatures and can cause damage to hardware. AMPINEL eliminates this risk by actively balancing the current flow across all six lines. As soon as the current in a line exceeds 7.5 A, AMPINEL intervenes. The hybrid control structure, consisting of digital and analog control, distributes the load evenly and without delay. The integrated microcontroller monitors all operating conditions in real time and continuously adjusts the control.
