Power supplies deliver high power density
TDK-Lambda has announced the EFE Series of embedded front-end power supplies designed to deliver high power density, high efficiency and enhanced reliability.
Power supplies minimise waste heat
The GEN60-40, GEN150-16 and GEN600-4 models achieve 88% efficiency at 200V AC, while the GEN8-300's efficiency is rated at 84%.
Comments Martin Southam, Lambda European Marketing Director: "Vega has been a major success for Lambda.
At its introduction, the 650W unit, boasting an unrivalled power density of 0.35W/cm3, set the standard for configurable AC/DC power supplies.
Now our design teams have taken the technology another step forward, increasing power density to 0.48W/cm3 to give significantly more output power without any penalty in real estate".
The Vega 900 has no minimum load requirement, and up to 10 fixed or adjustable outputs that give designers a choice of output voltages from 0.4 to 62V and output current up to 114A.
Input voltage is 130-330V DC and 90-264V AC, derating below 180V AC.
The inherent versatility of Vega lies in its high degree of configurability.
Output module functions include inhibit, module good, remote sense and parallel.
Typical efficiency is 75% at full load and the new supply comes complete with short-circuit and overvoltage protection.
As well as the wide choice of output modules there are a large number of customer options.
The Vega 900 can be specified without a fan for customer cooling.
Input connection can be made via a choice of screw, Faston or IEC320 terminals.
Without fan, the Vega 900 measures 249.3 x 130.0 x 53.3mm.
CE marked in accordance with the LVD, the new supply carries a host of environmental and safety approvals including EN55022 Class B, UL1950, CSA22.2 No.950, EN60950, IEC 60950, EN61010-1, EN60601, UL2601 and UL3101-1.
Standard leakage current is 1.5mA and versions with leakage currents down to 50uA are also available for medical applications.
Vega is the fastest growing Lambda product ever, and to meet customer demand the company has made a further significant investment in new production equipment including ATE and new automatic optical inspection equipment, valued at over GBP 450,000. Request a free brochure from TDK-Lambda UK ...
