300-1500W AC/DC power supplies offer quality & reliability

The quality and reliability of the LCM series is assured through careful component selection, automated production processes, sophisticated circuit design and a digital control loop. Digital control enables the LCM family to optimise efficiency across a wide load range and allows units to be rapidly and cost-effectively modified to suit the exact needs of a customer application. Many models in the LCM series do not require any derating at low line, unlike many other units on the market.

Detailed technical reference notes and outstanding technical support make it easy for designers to integrate the LCM series into their design.

Backed by a comprehensive set of industrial and medical safety approvals, Artesyn’s LCM series is suitable for industrial applications such as burn-in systems, test and measurement equipment, laser-carving machines, and factory automation; non-patient contact and non-patient critical medical, dental and laboratory applications; as well as for telecomms and datacomms equipment.

Variable-speed ‘Smart Speed’ fans draw on software controls developed by Artesyn to match fan speed to the power supply’s cooling requirement and load current. Managing the fan in this way not only saves power but also reduces wear, thus extending its life. These innovative fan controls also enable you to keep the acoustic noise levels very low, while providing self-contained thermal management.

LCM series power supplies accept operating inputs between 90 and 264VAC (85-264VAC for LCM600). Models are available in versions offering 12, 15, 24, 36, and 48V outputs; the LCM1500 additionally offers a 28V unit.

All output voltages can be trimmed to a percentage of their nominal value (±10% or ±20% depending on the model), which means that almost any output voltage between 9.6 and 57.6V can be provided by LCM series power supplies.

Current sharing capability allows multiple power supplies to be connected in parallel for higher power applications. Power factor correction is implemented internally, offering a typical power factor of 0.98 or 0.99. An ORing FET provides protection in the event that an input power source fails, while the units also feature overload protection, overvoltage protection and overtemperature protection.

The LCM series medical safety approvals are compliant with the third edition of the ANSI/AAMI ES60601-1:2005 / IEC 60601-1 safety standard. Medical safety compliance extends to providing 2xMOPP (means of patient protection) and the complete risk management files required by the 3rd edition.

The MTBF of the LCM series is greater than 500,000 hours, and all models carry a manufacturer’s warranty of three years.
