External medical supplies repel nasty fluids

Condor Power Supplies has released a new range of external 60W supplies.

Condor Power Supplies has released a new range of external 60W supplies.

Called the GXM60 Series, the new supplies are designed to cope with the sometimes harsh healthcare environment and incorporate spillproof casings to withstand the ingress of fluids often encountered in medical applications.

The universal wide 90 to 264V AC input powers the unit via a standard IEC connector but the unit can be connected to end equipment by any one of a choice of 13 different output connectors.

In addition to the conventional outputs of 5, 12, 15, 24, 28 and 36V DC, Condor will also offer as standard any voltage output in 1V increments from 5 to 36V DC, or in 0.1V DC increments to order.

A useful addition for a product with low output voltages is the inclusion, in some models, of remote sense.

Cases are lightweight at 0.45kg, measure 43 x 77 x 135mm and are available in a selection of colours.

No minimum loads are required for the unit to operate to full spec and efficiencies are extremely high for this type of supply.

Levels are typically in excess of 85% and in some cases 90% allowing, when the input power is less than 75W, the unit to meet the requirements of EN61000-3-2.

As with any products for the medical industry, safety approvals are critical.

The GXM60 Series is approved to UL2601-1, CSA 22.2 No 601.1-M90, EN60601-1 and CB certified to IEC6061-1.

All models include built-in EMI filtering to meet current EMC requirements and leakage current under normal conditions is 80uA (132V AC 60Hz) and maximum under single fault conditions is 170uA.
