The LS50, LS75 and LS100 have 88 to 264V AC inputs, while the LS150 is switch-selectable for 115 or 230V AC, minimising the cost.
Power supplies cater for short-term peaks
Units provide a very cost and space efficient solution compared with oversizing conventional power supplies just to handle the peak current.
A new fully computerised order entry system, improvements to internal systems and the production process have been brought together to enable us to commence manufacturing any configuration of Alpha within one hour of receiving the order.
"We had previously been offering a premium 48hr rapid response delivery service.
Our new initiative effectively halves this.

The PFE500F comes in a compact 70 x 12.7 x 122mm package and can be cooled using a cold plate or an optional heatsink.
We are the only power supply manufacturer capable of providing same-day shipment for this type of product and we are fully committed to remaining the world's most responsive supplier of configurable power supplies," added Southam.
Alpha's inherently flexible modular design means that for those customers whose voltage requirements lie beyond that of standard units, Coutant Lambda is able to provide a carefully matched solution using a comprehensive range of power modules.
Alpha is available in ratings of 400W, 600W and 800W and can be equipped with between one and seven modular customer-configurable outputs.
Output adjustment is via a multi-turn potentiometer with an accuracy to within 1%.
Load regulation (0 to 100% loading) is <0.5% with remote sensing and <2% without remote sensing.
Overcurrent and overvoltage are fitted as standard.
With an input operating range of between 90 and 264V AC and an input frequency of 47 to 63Hz, Alpha has a start-up time of less than 0.5s.
Thermal protection is provided as standard and input protection is in accordance with EN61000-4-2/4/5 level 3.
Built-in power factor correction and harmonic correction is in accordance with EN61000-3-2.
A wide range of options is available including, power good, AC fail, paralleling and power supply inhibit.
The MF primary option provides a 5V, 50mA auxiliary output, power fail indication and converter inhibit.
Here, maximum current is 50mA and the mains fail transistor turns off 5ms prior to loss of regulation.
The PA secondary option provides paralleling and module good while the IN secondary option gives module inhibit and module good. Request a free brochure from Lambda ...
