AC/DC enclosed type switching power supplies with active PFC function are designed for use in the LED lighting industry.

New from Sunpower, the PLN-30 series of 30W AC/DC enclosed type switching power supplies with active PFC function is designed for use in the LED lighting industry These limited power sources comply with the requirement of UL1310 class 2 that under any situation the output power will remain less than 100VA or 5A

This will significantly reduce the hazardous condition exposed to the technicians who execute the construction or maintenance of the LED lighting system.

The IP64 enclosure design can protect the electronic components against dust and moisture and makes them suitable for use at indoor or outdoor locations.

Thanks to the simplified single-stage PFC topology, the required high power factor, as well as the class C harmonic level for the lighting industry, can be achieved economically.

Efficiencies of PLN-30 series devices are as high as 86%, and the supplies can operate between -30 and +50C using only free-air convection inside the plastic enclosure.

Standard functions include short-circuit, overload, overvoltage and overtemperature protection.

The adjustable output voltage and current level enables the fine tuning of the PSU to comply with the requirement of LED characteristics.

Typical applications for these new Class 2 power units include small-scale moving signs, backlighting, LED-based decorative/architectural lighting, LED stage and theatre lighting, and LED electronic displays.
