XP power rolls out low profile 225W powers supply

XP Power has recently debuted the ECP225 series of highly efficient low profile AC-DC power supplies. The company's latest power supply delivers up to 150W by convection cooling alone, the units deliver a maximum of 225W when a forced air flow of only 10 CFM is applied. Boasting a typical efficiency of 94 per cent and a no load power consumption of less than 0.5 Watt, the series aims to aid engineers their end products comply with the latest energy efficiency standards.

5 single-output models are available within the series, providing all the popular nominal output voltages from + 12 to + 48 VDC. A trim function permits a ± 5 per cent adjustment from stated output in order to compensate for load losses or special application requirements. In addition a + 12 VDC/0.5 A fan output is provided across the range.

With a very low profile of just 25.4mm and a footprint measuring just 63.5 x 127 mm, these ultra-compact power supplies occupy significantly less volume than similar rated power units on the market.

Meeting the IT equipment safety specifications of UL/IEC/EN 60950-1 and the latest stringent 3rd edition medical safety standards ANSI/AAMI IS 60601-1 and IEC/EN60601-1, the ECP225 series is suitable for use in a wide range of information technology, industrial and medical equipment. The units also comply with the internationally recognised EMC standards EN55011 and EN55022 Class B specifications for conducted noise and Class A limits for radiated emissions.

The ECP225 accommodates most operating temperature environments from -20 to + 70 degrees C, with no derating until +50 degrees C.

The ECP225 series is available from Farnell, element14, approved regional distributors, or direct from XP Power and come with a 3 year warranty.
